Tesla will release a “human” for $20,000

Musk officially confirmed: the first Optimus robots will go on sale in 2027.

And the bet on them is so massive that, to make room for these robots, the company has already discontinued its legendary Model S and Model X cars.

Tesla wants to create a truly universal assistant: clean the house, put things away, bring in groceries, load the washing machine, open the door, use regular tools, and learn new tasks simply by being told what to do.

In short, a new member of the family for every household. And on top of that, a universal worker in any factory.

The target price is around $20–30K, although Tesla has not announced the final price yet.

Right now, in Texas, they are designing a factory to produce 10 million robots a year. That’s 20 times more than the number of robots being made worldwide right now.

So Tesla is going almost all-in on this field.

Although the bet is worth it. If Optimus learns to work like a human, for the first time, the workforce could simply be produced on an assembly line. And here’s a solution to demographic problems around the world.

Do you believe robots can partially replace physical labor this quickly?

❤️ – It’s possible
👍 – I don’t believe it
