> but we're gonna take the Model S and X production space in our Fremont factory and convert that into an Optimus factory, which will... with the long-term goal of having 1 million units a year of Optimus robots in the current S/X space in Fremont."

I don't know how well that's going to work out for them. I saw these robots (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVX6vq0RSnY) on the Chinese New Year Gala, and they look way more dexterous than any Optimus video I've ever seen.

Chinese dancing king fu Demos are same gimmick as elons robots pouring alcohol in the bar .the real barrier is real ai . Non of the parties gets it

Optimus is not a leader in humanoids; but that china demo is not really all that impressive; They are lightweight, reduced scale, and not all that dynamic... No idea how adaptable the control would be either.

See how poorly the sword one moves compared to the others.

Optimus hand dexterity is interesting; and the handling capacity is targeting useful weights (10s of kilos).

Boston dynamics is the most interesting; targeting "fit human" manipulation, 50kg. Their adaptable movement and walking are the best ive seen demoed as well.

Great. First ram goes through the roof, and now china has kung-fu robots. 2026 is going great.

They could add EATR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energetically_Autonomous_Tacti... ) technology to run it and then we have gone almost full horizon zero dawn.

So long as they don't give them the capability to consume arbitrary biomass to fuel themselves, I think we're safe from a Faro Swarm situation for the foreseeable future...

That was some serious vibe coding.

At least start with folding the laundry and helping the infirm. They went straight to martial arts.
