On July 2, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, shared a snapshot of himself on a social platform, standing on the production line of the Optimus humanoid robot at Tesla's Fremont factory in California. This post ignited a flurry of speculation regarding the progress of Optimus's mass production. Some users speculated that Tesla's decreased frequency of public demonstrations of Optimus might indicate that the mass production progress has surpassed initial expectations. In response to these conjectures, Musk clarified that the initial phase of Optimus production will be exceedingly sluggish, primarily because all the involved technologies are brand-new and distinct from those employed in automobile manufacturing.
