According to Sawyer Merritt on Twitter, Tesla has unveiled its Optimus robot production line, marking a significant step forward in AI-powered robotics manufacturing. The company plans to launch a much larger Gen 3 production line in 2026, with the strategic goal of reducing the cost of goods sold (COGS) to $20,000 per robot at scale (Source: Sawyer Merritt). This aggressive cost target, enabled by automation and AI-driven manufacturing, positions Tesla to disrupt the service robotics market and create new business opportunities in sectors such as logistics, manufacturing, and healthcare.
