5 THINGS ELON MUSK NEVER TELL ABOUT TESLA BOT GEN 2 OPTIMUS ROBOT - GEN 3 DELAY?

EV Channels Review

This video delves into the undisclosed aspects of Tesla's Optimus robot, focusing on its Gen 2 model and potential Gen 3 delays. The reviewer highlights that the advertised $20,000 price point likely applies only to the base Gen 1 model, with higher-end versions expected to cost significantly more. A key takeaway is the anticipation that unlike Tesla's EVs, Optimus updates may incur additional costs, akin to premium software subscriptions, to fund ongoing research and development. The video also suggests that initial deliveries will prioritize large corporations over individual consumers, a strategy mirroring the Tesla Semi's rollout. Furthermore, it speculates on the stringent regulations and potential recall policies Tesla might implement for Optimus ownership to ensure ethical and safe usage. While acknowledging Tesla's mass-production capabilities, the review points out that rental programs are likely to follow sales due to initial production limitations and the complexity of managing a rental fleet. The overall sentiment is that while Optimus shows promise, its commercialization will involve tiered pricing, subscription-based upgrades, and a phased market entry.
