And that's the highest those robots will ever cost. So the $105k over a 5 year period will quickly dwindle to $10k over a 5 year period. And finally, $1k over a 10 year period. And it won't take long, I doubt we'll even make it through the first 5 year period before they're selling robots that are much cheaper.

Atlas

I want one to help me workout in my backyard, tossing the medicine ball, walking with me at the park, just talking to.

No, we do not need no robots

So, robots will be buying stuff made by other robots because humans have no money because robots took all the jobs. Typical brainless Musk logic!

So it will be $50k..

You didn't factor in the cost of the software

Musk will get investors into this project like he did in the Roaster, not deliver any of them, and cancel it, yes the Roadster was cancelled.

There's no way that the June deadline will hold up. Just another unrealistic timeline to get the fan boys excited. Elon is an expert at misdirection.

I have used my water blaster for years to clean the house and grounds. I always wear boots, eye and hearing protection. I’m cautious because I know the psi of the water blaster I’m using can cut through flesh like a hot knife through butter. STILL….I momentarily let down my guard and acted impulsively, sticking my hand into the water jet for a fraction of a second. I sustained a pretty good slice that could have been fatal if it had been a bit deeper (cutting wrist veins). Point of the story: I would DEFINITELY buy an Optimus robot for home use, yard work, water blasting, etc.

I’ll be impressed when I see Optimus thread a needle and sew a button on a shirt.

A humanoid robot could accidentally knock something over maybe during cooking which could start a fire which is pretty dangerous

Elon Is Going Full Bore On The Robot Technology! It Is A Real Big Deal! If Like The Cars You Sell The Robots To Consumers And They Use The Data That They Receive To Enhance The Robot's Ability To Do Tasks.

Honestly, I think that even if you don't get to full auto robots. Being able to teleoperate them could allow people to do things they normally could not, while putting less strain on the person and that alone could be game changing. Now imagine if it can auto walk station to station and you just bounce robot to robot to "do the task" now you can get a lot more done as an operator then you otherwise could while using way less energy. Think about that for a second.

😄Good day from Goonellabah, NSW, Australia. I will raise a minimum of AU$1,800.000.00. Those who have helped me the people and companies: 1. Nurses and Doctors 2. Base Hospital and Ballina Rehabilitation Hospital 3. NSW Ambulance Service-By the end of 2027, Australia will have Tesla Optimus robots and Robovan to ambulances in 2029. The Robovan could replace bus transport passengers, good and Tesla Optimus. I would support that. 4. All my friends who are worse than me and people who have helped me. Lismore GSAC Baths. 5. Neuralink will help those who are worse off than me. I shall take two Tesla Optimus robots. We are getting 30 Tesla Optimus robots for Northern Coast NSW by 2026. I had a stroke on 4 July 2019. My wife, Kate, saved me. I am now swimming 120 lengths, 25m, at Goonellabah Pool, which has a total length of 3,000m, four times a week. I will swim in 25 m and 50 m pools when circumnavigating Australia. We shall have them for the disabled and elderly to help them in their homes or for anybody who will use them for any task they cannot do. They will be more intelligent than most people. I am embarking on a significant six-month journey. I'll be circumnavigating Australia in two Cybertrucks and a Tesla Semi, covering a substantial 22,000 kilometres. This journey is set to commence at the end of September 2025. Elon Musk will help me. 🤗Cheers, Ian Cleland

NOBODY cares what the Nazi nut-job Musk says!! I'm confident the Tesla robot will be a bigger flop than the Cybertruck as very, very few people will pay $40k for a machine to vacuum their floors and dust their furniture. Some manufacturing co's may implement them but, most won't as they have specialized robots already, for specific tasks.

I'd say Elon will be, looking at the amazing results from DeepSeek R1 in order to bring training costs down, If Elon is primarily using the new AI facility with a 1,000 H1 Nvidia chips for Tesla's FSD then what are Dojo XAI and Grok doing? Musk must have the most Large scale Mainframe AI centers in the world, yet the Chinese are keeping up with less and lower quality chips?

Is this the rise of Neo slavery for sentient Machines.Be careful of what you wish for.

2:00 - training needs. I fully expect Tesla to introduce changes into their training process similar to those made by DerpSeek. These are public algorithms that allow two orders of magnitude improvement in training time. DeepSeek trained with 1/45th the processing cost because of great optimizations. I expect Tesla to optimize just as much.

Considering the millions of different shapes and movements required to simply do dishes or cook; don't hold your breath for a useful home robot. Also think about someone hacking into you human robot toy at home and having it strangle you and opening the door for the criminals! Even the little robot vacuum cleaners have already been hacked and their microphones and cameras used to spy of their users! These robots are so far just gimmicks to get investors money.

Love the tech but not buying a thing of a Nazi. No matter how good it is.

The value of the Optimus robot is enormous. No overtime pay, no health care or other benefits on top of base pay. We work whenever you say, just keep it well juiced. The only way to bring back manufacturing to the US is with the use of humanoid robots and cheap robotic labor. In SF, sanitation workers are making 6 digit figures due to overtime pay.

I think the selling price of Optimus will be reasonable and maybe just 20.000$ but you will have to pay monthly and for all tasks it is capable off. Without the subscription it will do only very basic things

How are things at the kidz table? Still begging your 6 12 24 36 month investment to return? No mexico (they knew all along), India not interested, China is its greatest asset... go 'head, buy yo' dip

More "learning" for the infantile toy moving bot. Pls, go to China, they got proper trained robust robots. Cring, cring USA

I sure hope he understands how this will disrupt employment and we cant have citizens starving

My understanding is that Tesla-bot will have some autonomous functions that won't require a teleoperator. One such feature will be saluting the American flag. As a bot approaches the great American flag, the bot will turn to the flag pound its chest and verbalize Hiel Elon while throwing its 25° of freedom hand in the air. We owe Elon greatly for making the world a better place thru his genius. Hiel Elon

10 trillion? Someone is smoking the kool-aide. Not even a monopoly makes it to a trillion without massive competition arriving hot on their heels. In this case, the competition was on the scene before Optimus. Figure 2 responds to speech with vocalizations and correctly executed instructions. Tesla had to rely on human remote operators to mimic this behavior.

I need Optimus to help me in the garden 🪴 ❤

No one is going to buy Elon's robots, who would trust them, lol. Just like his car sales. He needs to stay out of politics.

That RATIO 😂

14:00 .. also the robot can work x3 more time than the human.

Your estimate of the cost savings over a minimum wage employee is way off. You have to factor in the robot's ability to work around the clock. One robot can replace up to three employees.

*Optimus* will be a special case. It will need to *learn/know/factory download* what its like _being_ an *Optmus,* the physical capabilities and limitations of its physical embedded being. Three things to charge for: 1) *Optimus* hardware, specialized attachments if any. 2) _Being_ *Optimus* with updatable language packs, etc. and 3) It can then _learn _*_skills_* like handling molten aluminum in a *GigaFactory, tending bar, welding in outer space, treading needles in a clothing factory, folding laundry, picking up garbage, picking fruits and/or vegetables, reading to your children, walking pets, playing cards, playing board games, chopping wood, throwing an axe, sharpshooting etc.

why are you shilling for someone who has clearly aligned himself with fascists?!

I hope no one teaches these robots to sieg heil.

This looks lame

awesome presentation. i would also add 1) No more unions trying to push their way in 2) No more being sued by disgruntled employees. 3) the ability for a robot to work 20 hours a day/365 days a year compared to 8ish for humans + overtime pay 4) No human drama in the workplace 5) No espionage or leaked info. 6) You can train 1 robot then basically upload the info to as many as you want (with a human it is 1 to 1 training___$$$$ + great inconsistency from worker to worker

Oh yeah, and they are all programmed to nicely line up and give _that_ salute ...

Do people still believe Elon's lies?

You know the Chinese will do a better, cheaper version and sooner.

I agree with another commenter. Until we see an Optimus robot actually doing meaningful work, like assembling something of significance, can be a number of them working together, it doesn't matter, and they do it quickly, efficiently, and with precision and accuracy, it is hard to get super excited, as impressive as it seems with their various video releases. I mean, it seems awesome, but let's see a video of it doing something really meaningful so we can really get excited! Then when one's battery is getting low, another comes to replace it while the one goes and recharges etc... Just imagine releasing a video of all of that. That would be awesome

I am unsubscribing and boycotting all media related to reporting on Elon Musk's various enterprises, i.e., Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, etc. Elon Musk is a Nazi traitor and is in progress of aiding and abetting a MAGA coup over the United States Government. I urge all patrons to drop anything to do with Elon Musk and his followers ASAP in mass protest of his heinous crimes against the American people and our allies overseas.

Jalopnik are absolutely in someone’s pocket, they regularly churn out misinformation!

Pure hopium. I don't see this robot being that useful. Look at boston dynamics. They have gone quiet

f' Elon Muskovite.

So naiv to think Tesla is the only compagni doing this. Do you really think chinise and korean will just line up to buy teslas robot? they already have some working on the assamble line.

Lol, every time Tesla stock takes a dive, Musk rolls out some BS hype claims or faked demo of something to keep the zero IQ fanboys pumping the stock for him

It’s as if you losers didn’t see the Tesla event featuring the so-called Robots. A third-rate theme park could hobble together something more impressive. Keep glazing Musk you pathetic fanboys.

Yes, but this puts me into a "Luddite panic". All of those laid off workers! Elan has gotten into politics, but not to solve the problem of what to do for all of those laid or workers. Instead, he is laying off even more workers in the government segment!
