Part 7/8:
Elon Musk described 2025 as pivotal for Tesla, setting the stage for major rollouts of more affordable vehicles as well as ramping up humanoid bot production. The ambitious aim is to produce 10,000 bots this year, although some skepticism surrounds whether this target will be fully reached. Nonetheless, even a partial success would mean deploying more humanoid bots than any other firm historically has achieved.
Looking forward to 2026 and beyond, rapid advancements in autonomy are expected, enabling robot taxis to become commonplace and driving significant revenue streams. The symposium concluded on an optimistic note, with projections suggesting that Tesla could evolve into a company defined more by its robotics and autonomous capabilities than its traditional automotive lineage.
