Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently announced that the humanoid robot "Optimus" is expected to begin deliveries around the end of 2027, potentially offered through leasing rather than direct sales. The initial cost per unit is approximately $30,000, with expectations to later decrease to around $20,000—comparable to the price of an electric vehicle. Musk anticipates that it will take at least a year for the robot to achieve full mass production, and prior to external deliveries, it will first be deployed in Tesla's own factories. Tesla previously stated that "Optimus" is about five times more efficient than the average person. Industry insiders have revealed that Tesla may open reservations in early December.
