Tesla ramps Optimus to hundreds a week, but the robots can’t generalize
Tesla now builds several hundred Optimus robots a week, but a new report says the hands break, suppliers can't keep up, and the AI can't generalize.
AI Summary
Tesla is now assembling several hundred Optimus humanoid robots each week at its Fremont plant, about ten times the output reported for Q2. The new production line still produces units that cannot perform generalized tasks, limiting their practical use. Reporters noted fragile hands and misaligned parts appearing on the assembly line. Suppliers are also struggling to maintain quality at the higher volume. These issues with generalization and reliability are cited as the main barriers to making the robots profitable.
