Part 7/13:
In parallel, Tesla has been rapidly developing humanoid bots, with prototypes demonstrating useful capabilities. Musk indicated that production of Tesla bots might begin this year, with numbers potentially reaching 10,000 units in 2024 and scaling exponentially in subsequent years. The goal: mass manufacturing of intelligent, capable humanoids that can perform tasks ranging from household chores to industrial work.
Musk's projection of 1 million bots by 2027 and a billion by 2030 echoes trends seen across the industry, where many robotic companies anticipate 10x growth year-over-year. Although Elon downplayed the pace slightly, his admission that "not quite that fast but not far" underscores Tesla's confidence in moving swiftly.
