The robot revolution could start in 2025 at Tesla, according to Elon Musk.
Even though Tesla’s Optimus bot is still being designed in the lab, Elon Musk is boasting it could be ready to enter production as early as 2025.
Ahead of that ambitious date, Elon Musk shared with investors that he believes the Tesla Optimus bot could begin working in Tesla factories by the end of 2024.
Elon Musk is on record as saying that he believes robot sales could be bigger than Tesla’s vehicle business.
Think about that for a minute.
Then factor in that Tesla is so much more than “just” a car manufacturer. They also make battery storage devices, solar panels, solar roofing shingles, EV charging stations, autonomous driving software and the AI algorithms that enable hands free driving, and now Optimus robots.
As a Tesla shareholder, when I think about the company I’ve invested in I don’t just think of them as a car manufacturer. They’ve vertically integrated so much of their manufacturing and supply chains all toward their mission statement of “accelerating the world’s transition to sustainable energy through increasingly affordable electric vehicles in addition to renewable energy generation and storage.”
Tesla’s Optimus robots are just the next evolution in their mission to usher in EVs and make renewable energy the world’s number one energy source.
Tesla could start selling Optimus robots by the end of next year, Musk says
