Tesla CEO Elon Musk claims that the electric car manufacturer will begin producing and using humanoid robots in its car factories next year.
In a Twitter post, the social network that he bought in 2022, Elon Musk stated that robots will be used first by Tesla, which will start manufacturing them to sell them in 2026.
The technology billionaire had previously said that he expected the robot, named Optimus, to be ready for use in Tesla factories by the end of this year. Other companies, such as Honda and Boston Dynamics, have also been developing their own humanoid robots.
In 2025, Tesla’s robots will start working in the Gigafactories
“Tesla will have truly useful humanoid robots in low production for internal use by Tesla next year, and we expect them to be in high production for other companies by 2026,” Musk said on his social media platform, X, formerly known as Twitter.
The company has stated that it aspires to build an “autonomous humanoid robot” to perform “dangerous, repetitive, or boring” tasks. Musk has already said that Tesla wants the robots to be mass-produced and cost less than $20,000 each.
However, Elon Musk is known for setting ambitious deadlines for his companies, which he has not always met. In 2019, he said he was “very confident” that Tesla would have autonomous taxis on the road the following year.
At the beginning of this year, Elon Musk said that the long-awaited robotaxi would be unveiled on August 8th. And last week, the CEO of Tesla made it clear that there was a significant delay.
Mr. Musk did not give a new date, but said he had requested a change in the front of the vehicle. “The additional time allows us to show some other things,” he wrote.
Musk’s companies are increasingly focused on technologies such as artificial intelligence, autonomous driving, and robots, at a time of slowing demand for electric vehicles.
