Brian Wang There is report that Tesla has given suppliers guidance on Optimus production: 600 units per week by the end of 2025. Ten weeks at the rate of 600 Optimus bots per week would by 6000 units. Tesla has given suppliers guidance on Optimus production: 600 units per week by the end of 2025. Wow, what an aggressive plan. January 23, 2025 at 1:42 am Agreed. And the edge cases where a humanoid robot is both better than the existing plethora of autonomous robot assembly machines custom made for specific jobs AND better than humans at repetitive high precision work that costs more for human labor…are vanishingly small, if they exist at all. Similarly, I can’t think of a single thing that a Teslabot could do to make it worth storing & charging in my 900sq NYC apartment. I’ve seen robots fold laundry and put it in a basket on a table, but going to the common laundry room with a cart using the elevators, paying for the machine, knowing which clothes to wash hot or cold, putting them back in the laundry basket/bag and restocking them in my closets and drawers is a whole other level of complexity, and I or my wife do while daydreaming of more important things too! I know there’s a shortage of caregivers and other high time/low pay workers, but there’s even greater complexity for those, plus a certain amount of controlled strength to help move a human carefully. Would you trust your elderly parent to a Teslabot? Karl
