Tesla plans to produce 5,000 Optimus robots this year and has already ordered 10,000 to 12,000 sets of components. The first mass-produced version has been manufactured on the new production line at Tesla's Fremont factory in Silicon Valley. The goal for next year is to produce 50,000 units, so as to reduce costs through large-scale production. Musk predicts that if the production volume exceeds one million units in 2027, the unit price is expected to drop to $20,000. In that case, the commercialization of the robots will be rapidly implemented, and then the market will witness explosive growth. Optimus is already equipped with Tesla's FSD (Full Self-Driving) algorithm and has memory capabilities, enabling it to perform complex tasks such as catching a ball and operating tools. The latest version of the dexterous hand has 22 degrees of freedom, and its movement ability is close to that of a human. The first batch of mass-produced Optimus robots this year will be used for tasks such as handling and assembly in Tesla's factories to verify their practicality in industrial scenarios.
