""The speed of the production ramp is inversely proportionate to how many new parts and steps there are,""
""For Cybercab and Optimus, almost everything is new, so the early production rate will be agonizingly slow, but eventually end up being insanely fast,""
""slowest, dumbest, least lucky thing out of 10,000 unique items.""
The production ramp for Tesla's Cybercab and Optimus will be agonizingly slow due to almost entirely new parts and steps. Cybercab production is scheduled to begin in April with a long-term target of two million units per year. The Cybercab is a two-seater robotaxi planned to ship without a steering wheel or pedals and was indicated to cost around $25,000. Autonomous ride-hailing launched in Austin with a small number of Model Y robotaxis and continues to use human safety monitors. Optimus humanoid robot production is planned by the end of 2026 with an eventual goal of one million units per year. Much of the supply chain must be built from scratch, making output limited by the slowest component among many unique items.
