  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

    "Richest man in the world is either wrong or lies a lot" remains a valid topic of reporting even if it has been true for a while.

    While entirely true, it does seem a bit "throwing stones in glass houses" to take time forecasts seriously on a tech site.
