Wait till Tesla drops Optimus, a humanoid robot built... for real work, not sci-fi. It is designed to handle tasks like lifting, carrying, factory labor, and even helping you with everyday chores, with human level mobility. Tesla has targeted pricing around $20,000 to $30,000 once it reaches mass production scale. This is not a toy, it is labor turning into software.show more

TESLA’S NEXT-GEN OPTIMUS V3 HAND IS GETTING CLOSE TO... HUMAN-LEVEL Tesla engineers just shared new details on the Optimus V3 hand — and the progress is striking. They’re now saying that as they move into Gen-3 and mass production, the hand is getting very close to human functionality and form factor. One engineer described it clearly: “It won’t even look like a robot. It will look like a human in a superhero suit. It will be something revolutionary.” This level of dexterity and human-like design is a critical milestone. The hand is one of the hardest parts of building a truly useful humanoid robot — and Tesla is iterating extremely fast.show more

TESLA’S OPTIMUS BOT: COOKS, CLEANS, AND WILL CHANGE THE... FUTURE FOR THE BETTER Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus, isn’t just walking—it’s working. Designed to handle chores like cooking, vacuuming, and folding laundry, Optimus is Tesla’s leap into domestic automation. With sensors, neural networks, and a frame built for agility, it can navigate cluttered homes and messy kitchens while improving its skills over time. More than a sci-fi showpiece, it’s being trained to adapt to household routines. Think of it as a second set of hands—unfazed by spills or socks. It’s here, and it’s learning to make dinner.

Tesla engineers on the next-gen Optimus V3 hand: "As... we go into gen-3 and into mass production, we are getting very close to human functionality and form factor. It won't even look like a robot. It will look like a human in a superhero suit. It will be something revolutionary."show more

Optimus is not being built as a pre-programmed or... remote-controlled party trick. Tesla is aiming at something much bigger: Generalized tasks. AI with hands, legs, and an actual job to do. That’s the Optimus bet. Elon: "Optimus will be our biggest product. Not just Tesla's biggest product ever, but probably the biggest product ever." Tesla is now installing first-generation Optimus production lines at Fremont. That’s a very real step from prototype to production path.

Elon Musk has repeatedly highlighted the hand (and forearm)... as one of the toughest engineering challenges for Tesla’s Optimus Robot. A new Patent (for presumably Optimus 3) shows Tesla is using human anatomy to recreate a tendon-driven robotic hand and forearm assembly that closely mimics a human system. Basically, Tesla is replacing human muscles with actuators and tendons with cables to replicate human dexterity. The Tesla Engineering team is on another level. Optimus Gen 3 reveal is going to be incredible.show more

🚨🇺🇸 ELON: HUMANOID ROBOTS WILL BE BIGGER THAN CELL... PHONES, EVERYONE WILL WANT ONE Elon is once again thinking far beyond EVs, declaring that humanoid robots will be “the biggest industry or the biggest product ever,” even surpassing smartphones. Elon is especially referring to Tesla’s Optimus robot, which he claims will eventually be capable of doing anything humans don’t want to. Tesla is already training Optimus with real-world tasks using AI and data from its vehicle fleet, and Musk believes mass production could redefine both labor and consumer tech. Some call it hype, but Elon calls it inevitable. If he’s right, we’re not just talking about the next iPhone… we’re talking about the next industrial revolution.

TESLA SHOWS THE FUTURE: FULLY AUTONOMOUS ROBOTAXI, NO DRIVER,... NO BACKUP Tesla is not testing robotaxis anymore. It is rolling them out. * No driver. No backup. Zero remote help across thousands of miles * Autonomy now runs as a service, not just a feature inside your car * No human touch needed. Just code, cameras, and confidence * Designed for scale. Every mile trains the system and sharpens the fleet * Not built to assist drivers. Built to replace them Tesla is not asking for permission. It is showing what comes next. Source: Teslashow more

If you watch the latest Optimus dancing video in... slow motion, you’ll notice that it’s not just dancing, but it’s hopping and balancing on one foot. Also, the string in the back isn’t even holding Tesla Bot up! This level of dynamic balance and control is EXTREMELY difficult to achieve for a humanoid robot. What Tesla is doing right now with Optimus is years ahead of what people realize.show more

TESLA HALTED MODEL S AND MODEL X PRODUCTION TO... BUILD AN ARMY OF OPTIMUS ROBOTS The Fremont assembly line was torn down in 46 days. In its place, Tesla is building a line for humanoid production, aiming for a million units a year A humanoid robot is a body shaped like a human. Physical AI is the intelligence that controls that body Walking and making coffee is often just imitation learning from a scripted routine. But once the environment shifts, the learned trick stops working Language models had the entire internet to train on. Robotics has nothing close to that scale of data, which is why one giant brain hasn't worked for anyone yet The industry is moving toward modularity instead - separate models for vision, movement, and planning, each improved on its own The real question is no longer whether a robot can move impressively. It's whether it can pull its sensors into one picture of the world and adapt to whatever wasn't scripted for itshow more

TESLA OPTIMUS: THE BIGGEST PRODUCT EVER – BUILDING ON... MULTIPLE PLANETS Optimus isn’t just a humanoid robot—it’s poised to become Tesla’s most valuable product by far, solving labor shortages on Earth and enabling construction, exploration, and self-sufficiency on other worlds. Elon has called it the “biggest product ever,” with trillions in potential value as it scales from factories to homes to interplanetary bases. Why it’s the game-changer: • Earth impact — Handles dangerous/repetitive tasks in manufacturing, mining, healthcare, and households—creating abundance by making physical labor optional and ultra-efficient. • Multiplanetary builder — Optimus bots can operate in harsh environments like Mars or the Moon: constructing habitats, mining resources, assembling solar farms, and maintaining life support without human risk. • Scalable fleets — Billions of units possible; AI-driven, they learn from Tesla’s FSD tech, improving fleet-wide with every deployment—perfect for bootstrapping off-world civilizations. • Economic explosion — Cheaper than human labor long-term, Optimus unlocks exponential productivity on Earth while being the workforce for Starship-delivered Mars cities. From early factory trials to planetary pioneers, Optimus turns sci-fi into reality: the robot that builds humanity’s future, one planet at a time.show more

This is really interesting. A Tesla owner received his... Model Y two weeks ago with factory software version 2026.8.300. Normally, it takes 4–8 weeks before a new vehicle is moved to the regular software branch. He has just received a notification that his car is updating to FSD 2026.17.5. Has the long wait finally come to an end? 💪show more

Normally, you’d have to spend six figures to own... a car with doors that open like this. Tesla plans to bring that same futuristic, luxury experience to the Cybercab for like $30,000. This car is about to make luxury mobility accessible to everyone. I can’t wait to own 25 of these and show the world how profitable it is to own a fleet, when Tesla & Elon give me the green lightshow more

There's something very funny about Optimus explaining first principles.... A humanoid robot calmly describing the mindset that helped create rockets, EVs, factories, and eventually itself. First principles thinking is basically Elon refusing to accept the “because that’s how it’s always done” answer. At Tesla and SpaceX, the question is not only how to make the old thing better. It is whether the old thing should exist in that form at all. Why throw away a rocket booster if the physics says it can come back? Why build an EV like a compliance car if batteries, software, motors, and factories can be redesigned around performance and scale? They strip the problem down to physics, materials, cost, and function, then rebuild upward from what is actually true. Very useful for building things that did not exist before.

In the future, it might just be humanoid robots... doing the refueling!🤖⛽️ Sinopec plans to introduce humanoid robot workers across its gas stations. They will handle tasks like fueling, picking up items, restocking, and inspections,working alongside human staff, especially during peak holiday periods in China to ease service pressure. With more than 30,000 gas stations across the country (most of them equipped with convenience stores), this implies a deployment of at least 30,000 humanoid robots. The robot is a wheeled humanoid developed by Beijing-based company FIVEAGES.show more

BREAKING: The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has... opened an audit into about 1,000 Tesla Cybercabs. NHTSA says Cybercab has no permanently attached steering wheel, brake pedal, accelerator pedal or mirrors. It will review how Tesla certified the vehicle and why Tesla determined that some federal safety standards did not apply. NHTSA is auditing a car because it has no controls for a human driver. But that is the entire point: Cybercab was designed from day one to drive itself. • Tesla Robotaxis have driven one million miles without a human driver. • The first 380,000 driverless miles had no notable safety incidents. • Tesla reported three incidents in NHTSA’s latest data. In all three, another vehicle hit a stopped Tesla Robotaxi. In these incidents, the problem was human error, not the autonomous Tesla. That is exactly what Cybercab is designed to remove from our roads.show more
