Tesla made quite the splash at the recent Cybercab event by showcasing its humanoid Optimus robots alongside the introduction of the new Tesla Robovan vehicle. The Optimus robots were seen walking out as part of the grand reveal, leaving quite an impression. These robots are not just for show—Tesla CEO Elon Musk revealed some of their impressive capabilities. In a video, Optimus was shown performing tasks that would typically be handled by humans, like carrying a package inside from the porch and even watering plants.
During the presentation, Elon Musk emphasized just how integrated these robots could become in everyday life, saying, “The Optimus will walk amongst you.” According to him, you could walk right up to them, and they would serve drinks or help out in various ways. Musk further elaborated that the Optimus robot could practically do anything, including walking your dog, babysitting, or mowing the lawn. As for the price, he estimated that these robots would cost between $20,000 and $30,000 “in the long run.”
Musk is not one to shy away from bold claims, and he declared that the Optimus could become “the biggest product ever, of any kind.” After the presentation, livestream footage showed event attendees interacting with the robots. While the robots were not demonstrating all their capabilities yet, they did wave to the crowd and hand out small gift bags. One of the robots even engaged in a game of rock, paper, scissors with a guest. Although the robots were not seen performing more complex tasks like serving drinks just yet, they certainly drew attention. In one part of the event, a group of Optimus robots was spotted dancing inside an enclosed gazebo, adding an element of fun to the evening.
Last year, Musk introduced a second-generation Optimus that was both lighter and faster than the original prototype. In a more recent announcement during Tesla’s April earnings call, Musk said that Optimus robots would start performing useful tasks by the end of this year and could be available for sale externally by the end of next year.
When the project was first announced in 2021, it was not taken very seriously. The introduction involved a person in a robot suit performing a lighthearted dance. However, in 2022, Tesla revealed a functional, though early-stage, prototype. Now, Musk says that Optimus could revolutionize civilization and significantly improve economic productivity, with the potential for mass production in the millions, priced around $20,000. Musk even suggested this could lead to a future without poverty.
