Tesla Debuted Its New Humanoid Robot Inside This $6.85 Million Home in Los Angeles
The popular video shows the Optimus Robot watering plants, tidying up, carrying in groceries, even playing games with the family
Tesla chose this newly renovated Mediterranean-style home in Los Angeles’s Mandeville Canyon neighborhood as the backdrop for the debut of its new Optimus Robot, the first time its humanoid robot has been featured inside a home.
“Tesla chose our property because they liked the aesthetics and it worked well with what they were looking to showcase,” said listing agent Jason Peteler, of Revel Real Estate. “They rented it out for two days to do the shoot.”
Tucked behind 10-foot gates, the 1979 house on Mandeville Canyon Road has been completely renovated and reimagined by developer Ori Ayonmike, founder of Wilshire Partners, Peteler said. Architectural details include clean lines, several glass and black steel doors that invite indoor-outdoor living, arched doorways, lots of natural stone and wood accents and curated wide-plank white oak floors.
“It’s a blend of Spanish and a blend of modern and in its own little sanctuary in Brentwood,” he said. “It was a complete ground-up renovation. The prior house had never been touched.”
Since the video of Tesla Optimus interacting with the home and performing everyday household tasks—removing groceries from the car, watering plants, playing games with the family and bringing in packages—debuted last month, it has generated 10.7 million views on X and 2 million views on YouTube.
“The robot can do anything, from household chores to making drinks and cleaning up your home,” he said.
Ayonmike, the owner-developer, found the property about 18 months ago, Peteler said. “He specializes in rehabbing properties and staying true to the neighborhood and giving the property a true revival.”
He has done five properties in the Los Angeles area in the last eight years, including his own home, Peteler said.
