About Tesla
Tesla, Inc. is the world's most valuable automotive and energy company, now pioneering a new frontier in humanoid robotics. Under CEO Elon Musk's vision, Tesla launched its Optimus robot program in 2021 with the audacious goal of creating a general-purpose humanoid capable of performing any task a human can do — at a target price point under $20,000.
The Optimus program leverages Tesla's unparalleled AI infrastructure: the same Full Self-Driving (FSD) neural networks, Dojo supercomputer training, and in-house silicon (AI5 chip) that power its vehicles. This vertical integration gives Tesla a unique cost and capability advantage over pure-play robotics companies.
By January 2026, over 1,200 Optimus robots were actively deployed at Giga Texas performing real manufacturing tasks. Tesla announced targets of 50,000 units in 2026, scaling to one million by 2030 — potentially making Optimus the highest-volume humanoid robot in history.
