ELON MUSK SAYS TESLA OPTIMUS ROBOT SHOULD COST ‘LESS THAN HALF OF A CAR’

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Elon Musk says that Tesla's general-purpose humanoid robot Optimus, designed to take over repetitive tasks from humans, should cost less than half the price of a car. He has previously claimed that the demand for the robot could be as high as 10 to 20 billion units and that it would account for a majority of Tesla's long-term value. There is no clear timeline for when the robot will begin production, but Tesla has been listing more jobs for its robot program lately, including positions related to supply chains and manufacturing.
