Tesla’s Optimus Gen 3 is Delayed (But Walking Around the Office)

TL;DR: Elon Musk delayed the Optimus Gen 3 reveal to add finishing touches, but confirmed the bots are already walking autonomously around Tesla offices.

So, the Optimus Gen 3 reveal got bumped. Elon Musk hopped on social media to say they need a bit more time for finishing touches. Standard Tesla timeline stuff, right?

But there is a massive silver lining here. Musk confirmed these bots are already walking around Tesla offices completely on their own. No tethers. No remote controls. Just humanoids navigating hallways alongside engineers.

An official reveal is now expected later this April. If they pull off true autonomous locomotion in a chaotic office environment, that completely changes the timeline for getting these things into actual factories. We are watching this space very closely.
