Tesla's 2025 Optimus Robot Update | $10 TRILLION REVENUE

Robotics and Automation

🤖 Optimus robots require 10x more training than Tesla's full self-driving program due to the complexity of tasks they need to learn.

🏭 Tesla plans to deploy Optimus robots in their factories for boring, tedious, and slightly dangerous tasks, helping to close the improvement loop this year.

Economic Impact

💰 Tesla aims to scale Optimus robot production to 100 million units per year in a few years, with an expected steady state of 1 million units annually at a production cost below $20,000 per robot.

💼 The total basic cost of an Optimus robot over 5 years ($105,000) could be over $100,000 less than an entry-level employee, considering purchase, maintenance, repair, and energy costs.

Future Projections

🚕 Tesla plans to launch a robo taxi service in Austin, Texas this summer, featuring full self-driving supervised software with major safety and comfort improvements.

📈 Elon Musk predicts Tesla's Optimus robot program could generate over $10 trillion in revenue long-term, aided by dramatically dropping training compute costs.
