Tesla Optimus Robot

Tesla Chief Executive, Elon Musk has high hopes for Optimus robot and he has revealed a ton of details about the humanoid AI figure during the Q1 2025 earning call.

Training

Optimus requires advanced training, 10 times more than Tesla cars to perform daily tasks with complex movements.

“A humanoid robot has probably 1,000 times more uses and more complex things than in a car” said Musk.

Instead of pouring all training hardware and computing at once, Tesla will only embed computing power that could match the output. Musk also predicts that the cost of training will reduce with time.

He said, the company will invest $500 billion in training if the robot generates super high revenue.

$10 Trillion in Revenue

Musk said these the revenue target with this robot “sound absolutely insane” but he believes that this could be possible.

Production and V2

Tesla is planning 10,000 Optimus production this year and these will be able to do important things at the factory.

“Our goal is to ramp up Optimus production faster than maybe anything has ever been ramped,” noted Musk. “It doesn’t take very many years before we’re making 100 million of these things a year”.

Tesla has published a few clips of Optimus sorting battery cells, and giving them away in the factory among employees. Meanwhile, a production version 2 is planned for release next year.

The V2 will further improve the production line with 10,000 units per month instead of 1,000 a month. The next line would be 100,000 units a month.

V2 will also have the potential to be sold to other companies in the second half of next year.

After its industrial adaptation, the company will increase production to 1 million units a year, which will lead Optimus’ production cost to less than $20,000.

Precision

Musk explained that all parts used in Optimus are forged for this humanoid robot with sophisticated technologies including fingers and hand, which will be able to play piano and thread a needle.

Sale

Tesla is testing this bot internally due to its behavior for repetitive and dangerous jobs such as loading the hopper and transporting vehicle parts from one place to another and others.
