Cathie Wood says humanoid robots are roughly 200,000 times more complex than robotaxis, with the hands being the hardest part to solve. But she argues Tesla has a major advantage because humanoid robots rely on the same core technologies it is already developing for autonomous vehicles: robotics, batteries, and... AI. “Obviously the hands being the most complicated part.” “Elon says maybe late ’28 into ’29 for scaling. We would put that a couple of years later.” “The reason Tesla is furthest ahead on this is it’s the same three technology platforms that are converging in humanoid robots as it is in robotaxis.” “Robots, battery-operated electric, and they are powered by AI, just like robotaxis.” Wood also believes Tesla is now very close to solving autonomous driving. “We’re very close to completely solving the robotaxi problem.” “If any of you are driving with Tesla’s FSD with the latest software update, it’s unbelievable.” “It’s magic. I would never drive another car.” Peter H. Diamandis, MD Cathie Woodshow more

I can’t wait for Elon to wander out of the elite echo chamber long enough to build something for we minions. Spare us the walking appliances. What we actually need is a pocket lawyer smarter than the government. Once the robots are doing the work, the next level is legal - and that’s the product nobody in the bunker is rushing to ship. I've had just about enough of the sleeper cell justices.

I like driving. It's fun. Why should I stop?

It’s the same reason why hands are the hardest part of the human body for artists to depict.

🚨 Cathie Wood reaffirms her $2,600 $TSLA price target, saying robotaxis drive ~90% of Tesla’s valuation Her view is clear: Tesla is no longer just a car company. AI, robotaxis, energy, and humanoid robots are the real story. She sees Tesla Optimus alone becoming a $26 trillion opportunity by the end of the decade. Cathie Wood ARK Invest

Cathie Wood says if she could only pick one stock to invest in, she would choose $TSLA. “It is a convergence of our three major platforms, Robots, Energy Storage, AI. It’s not stopping with Robotaxis, there’s a story beyond that with Humanoid Robots, and our $2600 PT (2030) has nothing to do with humanoid robots — we just thought it would be an investment period.”

ELON MUSK: "Humanoid robotics will advance very quickly. We do have Tesla Optimus robots doing simple tasks in the factory, and later this year, they'll be doing more complex tasks. We would be selling humanoid robots to the public, when we are confident that there is very high reliability, very high safety, and the range of functionality is also very high. You can basically ask it to do anything you'd like."

Cathie Wood on Tesla in a new interview: “We've always said Tesla is not an auto company. It is actually the convergence of three of the platforms I mentioned; Robotics, Energy Storage, and AI. Each one of those technologies has its own S-curve, now they're feeding each other, and we’re seeing that in Robotaxis. Robotaxis, we believe, will account for 90% of Tesla's valuation by the end of the decade. We're in print at $2600 (PT). That includes nothing for Optimus.”

ELON: TESLA IS THE WORLD’S BIGGEST ROBOT MAKER AND AI SAFETY LEADER "Tesla is arguably the world's biggest robot maker, because we have basically semi-autonomous cars that will ultimately be fully autonomous. And we are building a humanoid robot that will be basically like the car, but with legs. I kind of held open doing that for a while because I certainly don't want to hasten the AI apocalypse. But clearly, when you look at Boston Dynamics and these humanoid robots, they're going to happen with or without Tesla. So with Tesla, I've got a lot more ability to ensure robotics safety and AI, and I'll try my best to do that." Source: ELON CLIPS

Elon Musk revealed the 3 hardest challenges for humanoid robots and how Tesla is solving them There are really only three hard things for humanoid robots: - Real-world intelligence - ⁠The hand and - ⁠Scale manufacturing "I haven’t seen any demo robots that have a great hand with all the degrees of freedom of a human hand. But Optimus does have that" To reach human-level dexterity, Tesla had to design custom actuators, motors, gears, power electronics, controls, and sensors, everything from physics first principles There is no supply chain for this "From an electromechanical standpoint, the hand is more difficult than everything else combined. The human hand turns out to be quite something" This is why Optimus is on a completely different level. Tesla is solving the hardest problems from the ground up

Elon Musk says Tesla may start selling Optimus Robots to the public by the end of next year: “We do have some of the Tesla Optimus robots doing simple tasks in the factory. By the end of this year, I think they’ll be doing more complex tasks. Probably sometime next year—I’d say by the end of next year—I think we’ll be selling humanoid robots to the public. That’s when we are confident that it’s very high reliability, very high safety, and the range of functionality is also very high. You can basically ask it to do anything you’d like.”

Elon Musk: “Hold on to your Tesla stock.” Because what’s coming isn’t just another car update—it’s an entirely new paradigm. From Optimus humanoid robots that could one day take care of your kids, walk your dog, and support elderly parents, to CyberCab scaling into mass production, to the Tesla Semi reshaping logistics—this isn’t one product, it’s a full ecosystem. Tesla is simultaneously building AI-powered humanoid labor, autonomous transport at scale, next-gen energy infrastructure through battery, lithium, and cathode production, and expanding global manufacturing across the US and Europe, with five factories ramping major production lines this year alone. And while most companies are focused on the next quarter, Musk is already talking about factories on the moon within 20 years.
