Prior to this, Tesla CEO Musk also expressed a similar view: the cost of manufacturing the humanoid robot Optimus is only half of that of Tesla electric cars.Although humanoid robots are more complex per unit mass, I believe the final manufacturing cost will still be less than half of a Tesla car.”
Musk also told a user that Optimus will initially cost between $25,000 and $30,000 (currently about 181,000 to 218,000 yuan) and will decrease over time. Tesla launched the humanoid robot in 2021, with the initial goal of allowing it to perform dangerous, repetitive or boring tasks.
