Elon Musk informed staff that Tesla plans to produce 5,000 of its Optimus humanoid robot this year.

He also urged them to keep their stock despite the current sell-off. Musk stated that the company will speed up the development of Optimus, a robot that can do basic tasks like walking and catching objects, by utilizing its current self-driving technology and starting pilot production in 2025.

“Optimus has evolved from a concept to the most advanced humanoid robot on the planet,” Musk stated, adding that Tesla is still the only business able to produce intelligent humanoid robots on a large scale. According to Musk, Tesla has enough parts to make 10,000–12,000 Optimus units this year.

The company aims for 5,000 units by 2025 since the product is still in its infancy. He stated that by 2026, Tesla wants to increase production to 50,000 robots.

Additionally, he stated that Optimus is anticipated to function outside of controlled environments in the second half of next year, with Tesla staff members being given first access. Tesla is pursuing robotics during a turbulent period for the electric vehicle manufacturer,

The company’s stock has fallen about 41% this year due to a slowdown in the demand for electric vehicles, Musk’s political focus, and increased competition from Chinese rival BYD.
