While Tesla is normally in the news thanks to its electric vehicles and it’s somewhat eccentric CEO, the Optimus robot is something that is sure to start to gather pace. Now, Musk says that could happen soon with Tesla aiming to build 10,000 units of the robot before 2025 comes to a close. However, Musk does reportedly note that the target is an ambitious one. He was speaking during Tesla’s Q4 2024 earnings call when he admitted that the company is very likely to fall somewhat short of that goal. “Will we succeed in building 10,000 exactly by the end of December this year? Probably not, but will we succeed in making several thousand? Yes, I think we will. Will those several thousand Optimus robots be doing useful things by the end of the year? Yes, I’m confident they will do useful things.” Tesla is said to already be using some Tesla robots at its own factory, but there has so far been precious little evidence of that to date. Despite that, Musk does also believe that “it won’t be long before Tesla is making 100 million of these things a year.” However, given the way Musk’s mouth has regularly run away with him in the last decade this is definitely one of those things that we will have to take with a pinch of salt. At least for now. You may also like to check out: Fix iOS 18 WiFi: Keeps Dropping, Not Working, Disconnecting Or Slow?
