      This is also a far cry from what Musk was saying last year. In January 2025, he said Tesla would build about 10,000 Optimus robots in 2025 and that “several thousand” would be doing useful work by year-end. A year later, he admitted that zero Optimus robots were doing useful work at Tesla. He also promised a V3 reveal by mid-2026. It’s late September, and that demo still hasn’t happened.

      Oh come on, we know his timeline estimates can’t be taken seriously. This site/blogger has had it out for Musk for several years now

        Reporting on habitual liars is "having it out" for someone? He lies, very frequently, it's public record. Those are facts, facts potentially worth reporting on. If one does not like the facts, that's a feeling. If one still supports the habitual liar for reasons, that’s a choice. Their hope is better spent on better people, but it’s their hope to spend and feelings to have.
