      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

        I thought that site used to be ok but then it became over-the-top negative towards tesla.

        examples:

        - Tesla Semi finally enters volume production, 7 years behind schedule

        - Tesla ‘FSD’ sped in 55% of Brussels 30 km/h zones ahead of EU vote

        - Tesla Full Self-Driving bug falsely flags dirty cameras, demands service

        - Tesla’s active robotaxi fleet in Austin crashes back to 8 vehicles after Cybercab pump

        - Tesla’s record month: 4 fatal Autopilot and Full Self-Driving crashes

        I'm sort of reminded of Steve Job's retort:

        "By the way, what have you done that's so great? Do you create anything, or just criticize others work and belittle their motivations?"

        Nowadays I tend to read this site instead:

        <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.notateslaapp.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.notateslaapp.com&#x2F;

          How is it different than other marketing sites?
