Elon Musk has made a bold announcement, stating that Tesla plans to produce 10 million humanoid robots annually. According to recent information from a Tesla conference call, the company will repurpose its production line, which was previously used for the Model S/X, to manufacture the Optimus humanoid robots. Currently, the annual production rate is around 1 million units. While this figure is already impressive, Musk believes it is insufficient. During a shareholders’ meeting, he revealed that Tesla is establishing a new super production line in Texas, with an anticipated annual output of 10 million Optimus humanoid robots.
This ambitious plan is not merely theoretical; reports indicate that construction is already underway at Tesla’s Texas factory, which spans a vast area and involves significant investment. While the target may seem distant, Tesla is clearly making strides toward achieving this goal.
To put the scale of 10 million humanoid robots into perspective, if this production level is reached, it would mean that humanoid robots could become as commonplace as electric vehicles today, with many households potentially having a robotic assistant.
Honestly, I find Elon Musk to be a complex figure. He is known for his candid remarks and ambitious claims, often sharing updates continuously on social media. However, he has indeed accomplished many extraordinary things, such as advancements in mobile payments, rocket recovery, brain-machine interfaces, and fully autonomous driving.
