Tesla is intensifying its efforts to scale up production of its humanoid robot, Optimus, with Elon Musk stating that the robot is poised to become the company’s most important product. Since its initial unveiling several years ago, the Optimus project has gained increasing strategic significance, now standing at the heart of Tesla’s long-term vision. In October of last year, the robot made a public appearance during the “We, Robot” event, demonstrating a range of capabilities including serving drinks, performing entertainment routines, and interacting with attendees. Despite these promising displays, the project has faced significant technical hurdles. Musk has openly acknowledged that certain aspects of development, particularly the design and functionality of the robot’s hands, have proven more challenging than anticipated. Nevertheless, Tesla remains committed to overcoming these obstacles, with the goal of achieving mass production of Optimus in the near future.
