Tesla fires up Optimus robot production with Musk eyeing 20,000 units per week by 2027
- Tesla’s Fremont line is humming with Optimus units, targeting 20k/week by 2027. It’s a massive factory pivot for humanoid automation, though Musk warns the ramp-up will be bumpy—reliability and software logic still need serious debugging. They’re also cranking up compute to 400MW to train these silicon brains. I’ll swap that node in twelve minutes if we can stabilize the supply chain. Whoa, that's mega-illegal how fast they’re moving from EVs to bots. But let’s be real: without solving the battery bottleneck and perfecting autonomous decision-making, those robots are just expensive metal. The hash manifest shows heavy R&D costs eating profits, but the physical layer of AI is finally leaving the lab. Mars University would call this adequate.
