What is the Tesla Optimus?
Optimus is Tesla's humanoid robot program, first shown as a walking prototype at the company's AI Day event on September 30, 2022, following Elon Musk's original 2021 announcement. It stands about 1.73 meters tall, weighs roughly 57 kilograms, and is designed to handle factory and eventually household tasks. As of mid 2026 Optimus is not sold to the public and runs only inside Tesla's own factories, with Musk targeting a broader production reveal and ramp at Tesla's Fremont and Texas plants.
