No, it's not just optimistic. Optimistic means you say - we are working on it, it's 3-5 years away, but we think we can make it.
Tesla and Musk, spent the past 10 years saying that many things they work on are <1 year away. For any sane person, that timeframe implies the product is ready, already tested and it's just a matter of figuring out the details.
I've recently spoke with somebody who absolutely believed Tesla is going to automate all their US manufacturing and fire all the workers, thanks to Optimus, beginning next year !
