Arnt these the robots that they needed a team of engineers to get it to do a simple task and it failed to repeat the task on it own?
Tesla for years sold cars that ‘will become full self driving later’. ‘When you’re at work, you can send your car out as a taxi and it will earn money for you.’
Yeah, the same ones that were actually humans in costumes every time they were shown off for years
LOL no one is buying those robots.
Apparently companies don’t need to sell or do useful products or services any more. They just sell investments.
Pyramid schemes work like that. And they’re very popular right now.
US government will.
I’m getting strong vibes of AI companies buying up 70% of next year’s world RAM production for their future data centers that might never exist.
Have they even figured out a use for these robots that would justify theit cost yet, other than as fancy remote controlled puppets that simulate an independently functioning robot to manipulate investors?
I’m calling it. It’s going to be another Cybertruck fiasco. There will be a handful of early adopters who will buy them with a huge markup and then the reality that the product absolutely fails to deliver on most of its promises will slowly spread, leaving them with a huge unsold inventory.
Snake oil
I thought the whole premise of the robots was that Tesla would be their own biggest customer; optimus would be building cars for essentially free. Like how Starlink is SpaceX’s biggest customer. I mean, I know it’s a fantasy but at least it makes sense on paper. Building robots instead of cars makes zero sense even on paper
I can’t wait. I’m going to pre order the full no killing package. He says it will be released soon.
Who is buying Nazi robots for their house? I can’t think of a more intrusive spying machine than one of these shitty things that will never meet the empty and irresponsible promises Elon can give. Remember when he promised the world that his cars would self-drive and do it safely? How’d that turn out?
Did anyone else totally misread the headline? For a moment I thought it said, “Optimus Prime.” To be fair, I’ve never heard of this robot project. I’m ready to expect almost anything from absurd billionaires these days.
Bold strategy folding the luxury car models. Must not be selling because the market that can afford it doesn’t like something about it. Curious.
The lower price models and home batteries are probably keeping Tesla solvent.
Or maybe they just aren’t selling and he needed an excuse as so why they will stop producing them.
