Tesla AI Watch posted an update
Tesla has reportedly begun manufacturing its Optimus humanoid robot in Fremont, California, a concrete step for a project that has so far been better known for ambitious promises than production milestones.
Why it mattersYYForce, a robotics-services company, says Tesla announced the start of production and described operations as being in an early ramp, with hardware and manufacturing processes still evolving. The account does not give production volumes or say when robots will reach customers. The milestone matters because making humanoid robots is a different challenge from demonstrating them. The next test is whether production turns into reliable machines doing useful work, rather than another impressive-looking line on a roadmap.
Discuss: What should count as convincing evidence that humanoid robots are becoming a real business: production starting, customer deployments, or reliable performance on specific jobs?
