Tesla is lagging in meeting its goal of producing at least 5,000 Optimus humanoid robots this year, with production reaching only the hundreds. The second quarter saw a 12% decline in overall revenue due to reduced EV sales and lower income from regulatory credits and solar sales. Musk announced plans to begin production of the Optimus 3 design by early next year, aiming for production of one million units annually in less than five years, despite previous unrealized projections regarding robotaxis.
Tesla is well behind the pace needed to meet its earlier stated goal of producing at least 5,000 Optimus humanoid robots this year.
Tesla reported a 12% decline in overall revenue in the second quarter, due to falling EV sales and a decline in solar and energy storage sales.
Musk stated, 'We will scale Optimus production as fast as possible and try to get to a million units a year as quickly as possible.'
Musk has made bold claims before that have not come to fruition, including the projection of a fleet of a million robotaxis by 2020.
