Tesla aims to produce Optimus in high volumes and at affordable prices with a potential production line ready in the next three to five years—an ambitious goal that mirrors Musk’s historical tendency for optimism coupled with over-promise. While initial models are still considered prototypes, the technological advancements achieved thus far showcase a leap in the objective of creating intelligent systems capable of working alongside humans.
Elon Musk's vision is to enhance human labor with automation, not necessarily replace it. The real challenge lies in developing a symbiotic relationship between human workers and robots, where both can coexist in enhancing productivity while ensuring that automation elevates the quality of life.
