Thousands of Optimus bots by EOY

Elon Musk made some big promises on the Optimus robots.

“We expect to have thousands of Optimus robots working in Tesla factories by the end of this year,” Musk said. “And we expect to scale Optimus faster than any product I think in history to get to millions of units per year as

Per Tesla’s shareholder presentation, the automaker is on track to build Optimus at its Fremont pilot production line this year. 

He then noted he feels confident in getting to a million bots per year in less than five years, “maybe four years.” You heard it here first! Start the clock.
