# Tesla Optimus
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Type:** Product/Program
|
||||||
|
**Parent:** Tesla, Inc.
|
||||||
|
**Domain:** Robotics
|
||||||
|
**Status:** Pre-production (production start planned late July/August 2026)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Overview
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Tesla Optimus is Tesla's humanoid robot program, targeting mass-market production at unprecedented scale. The program represents Tesla's entry into general-purpose robotics, leveraging manufacturing expertise from automotive production.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Manufacturing
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Fremont facility:** Tesla replacing Model S/X production lines with Optimus manufacturing
|
||||||
|
- **Initial production:** Late July or August 2026 (Elon Musk, April 2026)
|
||||||
|
- **Initial pace:** "Quite slow" (Musk's words)—first production run of a 10,000-part robot
|
||||||
|
- **Long-term target:** 10M units/year (new Texas plant planned)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Pricing
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Estimated unit cost: ~$20-30K (not officially confirmed)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Key Risks
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Production has not yet started as of April 2026
|
||||||
|
- Previous Musk timeline commitments on Optimus have slipped repeatedly
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Timeline
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **2026-04** — Elon Musk announces production start at Fremont for late July/August 2026; initial output will be "quite slow"; long-term target of 10M units/year with new Texas plant planned
