Tesla Announces 2025 Production Timeline for Humanoid Robot, Optimus

In a recent development, Tesla has announced that it will begin producing its humanoid robot, Optimus, for internal use in 2025. The announcement was made by CEO Elon Musk who stated that the company expects to have genuinely useful humanoid robots in low production for Tesla's internal use next year and hopes to achieve high production for other companies in 2026. This timeline is a slight adjustment from Musk's previous estimate of the robot being ready for external sale by the end of 2025. Tesla has been conducting field tests with Optimus in its gigafactories across the United States since March 2024. The humanoid robot, Optimus, is expected to perform simple factory tasks and may be ready for external sale by the end of 2025.
