The issue with Humanoid robots is that Tesla showing Optimus ends up with other companies going through the videos, frame by frame. Hence, they were taking the breakthroughs of Tesla and applying it to their products.
Musk started to delay the release of videos ensuring that what is revealed is behind where the development and innovation stands.
yeah, protecting those breakthroughs is crucial - Musk's delay tactic keeps Tesla miles ahead in humanoid tech
if they drop any Optimus hints today, it'll be outdated by reveal time anyway
fingers crossed for vote results
