On September 30, Tesla plans to reveal a prototype of Optimus, its humanoid robot. It was introduced first in August 2021 during Tesla's A.I. Day.

The company goes beyond logistics as Musk sees robots used in homes as friends or catgirls.

Musk had said that Tesla is already the world's biggest robotics company because its cars are like semi-sentient robots on wheels.

He also told investors that the robots would be deployed in Telas plants to move parts around the factory, saying that the Opotimus robots can be more important than the vehicle over time and provide much-needed labour.
