Musk: Tesla's Optimus robot may be rental-only, with 5x human productivity and an initial cost of about $30,000
At the 33rd Baron Investment Conference at Lincoln Center in New York, Musk said Tesla's humanoid robot Optimus may be offered on a rental-only basis, with an initial cost of about $30,000 per unit, later falling to around $20,000, and productivity five times that of a human. Tesla started early production of Optimus at its Fremont factory in October, with a planned annual capacity of one million units, and plans to use it in its own factories first before delivering to outside companies around the end of 2027. If the rental model goes ahead, it will shape how this flagship humanoid robot reaches the market.
