Promises fulfilled and to be fulfilled.
According to Musk, the optima will be Tesla's most important product. There are already tests with two of these robots working autonomously in the company's main factory in the United States. Tesla recently launched a demonstration of the robot performing various skillful tasks with its hands. Similar to the actions of humans, Musk predicts that the human robot market will easily reach close to a billion units per year and Tesla could capture at least 10% of that market with an estimated manufacturing cost of 10,000 per unit and At a selling price of $20,000, this would represent a colossal profit of $1 billion.
During the shareholder meeting Musk also revealed that he expects the Optimus robots' software to be fully customizable by 2026, this means that the robots will be able to adapt for a variety of specific functions and needs, it is important to approach these claims with caution, Musk who is known for his pathological optimism as he has described himself, although he has achieved many feats in the space and electric vehicle industries. Many of his promises are still far from being realized.
For example, he stated that the StarShip would send a million people to Mars and that Tesla cars would achieve level 5 autonomy in 2021, something that has not yet happened.
