Do we have any evidence that Tesla is actually working on manufacturing millions of robots?
- fragmede 3mo agoI mean, it's entirely possible that Elon Musk is lying about the whole humanoid Tesla robot thing and it's a total utter scam and that everything online is just cgi, but let's pretend he's not that much of a scam artist.
- mikeyouse 3mo agoNot CGI - just human-controlled: https://www.reddit.com/r/robotics/comments/1ph3scw/tesla_optimus_faints_when_operator_takes_off_vr/ https://www.reddit.com/r/robotics/comments/1ph3scw/tesla_opt... https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-optimus-robots-bartending-controlled-by-humans-2024-10 https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-optimus-robots-bartend...
- fragmede 3mo agoEven if they're human controlled, the robots still need to exist to be human controlled.
- mikeyouse 3mo agoSure but it’s like self driving vs piloted cars.. both are impressive in their own way but if someone proposes to sell 10 billion humanoid robots like Musk has, they obviously can’t be human-controlled.
- kube-system 3mo agoThey cancelled the production of two vehicles, announced that those lines will be retooled for the robots , and they have jobs recs out. Who knows if they will be able to sell millions but it doesn't sound like they're not trying. https://www.tesla.com/careers/search/?region=5&site=US&state=CA&location=Fremont&query=optimus https://www.tesla.com/careers/search/?region=5&site=US&state...
- TurdF3rguson 3mo agoThey can always sell them to SpaceX, those guys have lots of money.
- jppope 3mo agoyeah, the production lines are in Reno, NV
