TL;DR: Elon Musk is targeting an insane 10 million Optimus units produced out of a new Texas facility.
Tesla isn’t just making cars anymore. The pivot to robotics is happening faster than anyone predicted, with Elon Musk announcing plans to crank out 10 million Optimus units.
The plan centers on a massive new facility in Texas dedicated entirely to scaling up humanoid robot production. If they hit even a fraction of that 10 million target, it completely changes the labor market overnight.
Sure, Musk has a history of wildly ambitious timelines. But the sheer scale of the investment proves Tesla is betting its entire future on robotics, not just EVs.
