"Musk recent post suggests that Tesla has a plan to attain Optimus' production goals. Elon Musk subtly teased Tesla's strategy to achieve Optimus' insane production volume targets. The CEO has shared his predictions about Optimus' volume, and they are so ambitious that one would mistake them for science fiction. Musk's recent post on X, however, suggests that Tesla has a plan to attain Optimus' production goals."
"Elon Musk has been pretty clear about the idea of Optimus being Tesla's highest-volume product. During the Tesla 2025 Annual Shareholder Meeting, Musk stated that the humanoid robot will see "the fastest production ramp of any product of any large complex manufactured product ever," starting with a one-million-per-year line at the Fremont Factory. Following this, Musk stated that Giga Texas will receive a 10 million-per-year unit Optimus line."
"During the weekend, Musk posted a short message that hinted at Tesla's Optimus strategy. "Optimus will be the Von Neumann probe," the CEO wrote in his post. This short comment suggests that Tesla will not be relying on traditional production systems to make Optimus. The company probably won't even hire humans to produce the humanoid robot at one point. Instead, Optimus robots could simply produce other Optimus robots, allowing them to self-replicate."
Elon Musk signaled that Tesla has a concrete plan to reach extreme Optimus production targets. Optimus is positioned as Tesla's highest-volume product with an unprecedented production ramp beginning at a one-million-per-year line in Fremont. Giga Texas is slated for a 10 million-per-year Optimus line, with projections envisioning a 100 million-per-year line at a Mars site and eventual annual output reaching up to a billion units. A key element of the strategy is self-replication: Musk's “Optimus will be the Von Neumann probe” comment implies robots could manufacture other robots, reducing reliance on traditional production systems and human labor.
