Elon Musk says Optimus humanoid robot will hopefully be ready for Tesla use next year

Elon Musk has said Tesla will produce “genuinely useful” humanoid robots to start working in its factories next year.

The Tesla and SpaceX boss made the claim on his social media platform on Monday, stating that the electric vehicle maker hoped to expand production and start offering the robots to other firms in 2026.

“Tesla will have genuinely useful humanoid robots in low production for Tesla internal use next year and, hopefully, high production for other companies in 2026,” Mr Musk said in his post on X.

Tesla first announced the idea for a humanoid robot in 2021 at an event and presented it with a human wearing a black helmet and white outfit walking robotically before breaking into dance.
