Musk stated that Optimus is central to the vision of &#8220;<strong>sustainable abundance<\/strong>&#8221; and has the potential to eradicate poverty. According to Tesla, Optimus could be deployed in medical care, domestic tasks, and the general service sector in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the long term, Tesla plans to invest tens of billions of dollars in <strong>computing power<\/strong> for the development of Optimus. Musk also raised the possibility that digital reflections of <strong>human consciousness<\/strong> could be transferred to Optimus via <strong>Neuralink<\/strong> in the future. Musk predicted this would be achieved in &#8220;<strong>probably less than 20 years<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, Tesla plans to launch the <strong>Optimus Gen 3<\/strong> production line in <strong>2026<\/strong>, reach an annual production capacity of <strong>4 million units<\/strong> by the end of 2027, and keep the unit cost around <strong>$20,000<\/strong>. Musk stated they plan to establish a <strong>1 million unit<\/strong> Optimus production line in Fremont and a <strong>10 million unit<\/strong> line at <strong>Giga Texas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Optimus shares the same technology ecosystem as Tesla vehicles, including actuators, battery systems, power electronics, cameras, voice processing modules, and <strong>AI chips<\/strong>. Musk describes Optimus as a &#8220;<strong>robot with arms and legs<\/strong>&#8221; while referring to their vehicles as &#8220;<strong>robots on wheels<\/strong>.&#8221; This serves as evidence for the recent claims that Tesla is moving away from being just a car company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Might Also Like;<\/h3>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/the-ultimate-speed-limit\/\">The Ultimate Speed Limit: Why Light Cannot Break the Universe&#8217;s Code<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/softbanks-robotic-data-centers\/\">SoftBank\u2019s Robotic Data Centers: The Roze Revolution<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/why-apple-vision-pro-lost-its-magic\/\">Why Apple Vision Pro Lost Its Magic: The Anatomy of a Mixed Reality Misstep<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elon Musk added a &#8220;transhumanist&#8221; dimension to Tesla&#8217;s artificial intelligence vision by stating that human consciousness could potentially be transferred to Optimus robots in the future via Neuralink.
