This will be a glorious failure.
Even if his robots were ready for primetime (they’re not), I don’t see how he’s going to be able to price them affordably, given the RAM shortages.
They don’t need to be affordable, they will be subscribed to. What, poor, you don’t have the iRobot subscription?
Tesla plan to build a “tera-plant” to make RAM.
Or I’m a fucking Nazi and no one will by my shit anymore.
There’s going to be plenty of idiots that will see the never proven mostly unusable robot as a good thing for the company. Another trillion dollar bonus package approved!
Sadly, lots of fucking morons are still buying their shit.
Fewer, but lots.
Sales are tanking, profits are tanking, and he’s being forced to abandon his precious “SEXY” branding, by ditching the S and the X. Now it’s just “EY.”
Tesla has crashed, and is NEVER coming back. Sales/profits will continue to slip with each earnings report. The only thing keeping it afloat is because it is held in massive institutional investment accounts, but as it continues it’s inexorable slide, those institutional accounts will start to sell down, accelerating the slide, until they all bail, and Tesla stock nosedives.
Tesla will be bankrupt in 2 years.
Now it’s just “EY.”
Someone should troll him that its a trans thing
Elon Musk is a Nazi
He Should be stripped of his security clearance and incarcerated immediately.
why does he have it in the first place? he is just a rich psychopath
Because the Republican party has become the party of rich psychopaths
He’s only got security clearance because he’s a Nazi. A normal person would have been denied it.
I am personally rather skeptical about the commercial viability of humanoid robots in 2026, but I suppose that we shall see.
They are just the prototypes to the eventual Slaughterbots that will be deployed into the streets to kill us, and bring us under control.
I’m sure that’s the vision but I’m not entirely sure that Elon Musk is the man to bring it about.
I just don’t understand who the market is supposed to be for humanoid robots. Manufacturing? They’ve already built bespoke task-centric robots. Consumers and businesses? They can already hire a real person without spending money upfront to “purchase” said person. I just don’t see the use case. It feels like another metaverse or smart glasses. Just another desperate grab at investor money and trying to claim the next “big thing”.
I mean, human environments are intrinsically made for humanoids to navigate. Like, okay, we put stairs places, things like that. So in theory, yeah, a humanoid form makes sense if you want to stick robots in a human environment.
But in practice, I think that there are all kinds of problems to be solved with humans and robots interacting in the same space and getting robots to do human things. Even just basic safety stuff, much less being able to reasonably do general interactions in a human environment. Tesla spent a long time on FSD for its vehicles, and that’s a much-more-limited-scope problem.
Like, humanoid robots have been a thing in sci-fi for a long time, but I’m not sold that they’re a great near-term solution.
If you ever look at those Boston Dynamics demos, you’ll note that they do them in a (rather-scuffed-up) lab with safety glass and barriers and all that.
I’m not saying that it’s not possible to make a viable humanoid robot at some point. But I don’t think that the kind of thing that Musk has claimed it’ll be useful for:
“It’ll do anything you want,” Musk said. “It can be a teacher, babysit your kids; it can walk your dog, mow your lawn, get the groceries; just be your friend, serve drinks. Whatever you can think of, it will do.”
…a sort of Rosie The Robot from The Jetsons, is likely going to be at all reasonable for quite some time.
I guess the point I was trying to make in my original post is - say we invent human robots tomorrow - what’s better about them than actual humans, which we already have an unlimited supply of? It just seems like a god complex thing to me, not really solving any major problems for humanity.
Damn. It’s the end then. That can only mean the robots are ready for the streets. Literally, THE STREETS.
Think about it. He’s in the government (non-elected) and they are deploying ICE agents everywhere.
The robots will 100% be seen standing at street corners “keeping the peace” within a year.
Omfg am I crazy, or is this realistic? Please just tell me I’m wrong and there’s no chance.
You’re not crazy, but it won’t be Elon who does it. The Tesla robots are nowhere near ready for production. This is vaporware, just like the Roadster.
Oh please, all the robots need is a light intensity sensor, some simple targeting, and a gun actuator, and they can do “policing” even more effectively than ICE. Maybe a speaker to play a token warning message before firing. You know something like “HALT! Show your identity papers, you have 10 seconds to comply, 9, 8, 7”
Movement comes later, once all the immigrants have figured out where the robots are planted.
Yeah, lol. All the robots need is any actual robotics, and then they’re good to go!
they can do “policing” even more effectively than ICE.
A bulldozer with a brick on the pedal can do “policing” more effectively than ICE. That’s not much of a flex.
I don’t disagree, but have you seen what a bulldozer goes for? Guns are expensive, but a dirt cheap cobot arm with a 9mm and extended mag, will be a tenth or less.
Musk is well-known for bringing a project to a close way late and way over-budget. He’s the king of overpromising and undelivering. After a couple years of “next quarter, I promise!” they’ll be wishing they’d bought the bulldozer.
With all due respect, you’re crazy. They can’t even scoop popcorn.

You’re not crazy, just slightly panicked. They won’t be in the streets within a year. It will certainly take at least TWO years to get there ! Please, lets all remain reasonable.
Also, I think Hyundai/Boston Dynamics will get there first :
They literally don’t even work.
Yet
They never will.
Just in time to “defend” the “results” of the 2028 election.

You are wrong. Not entirely wrong, just slightly.
Good luck!
At least the costumes can be sold for Halloween in Tesla’s forthcoming liquidation sale, unlike their cars that nobody wants.
Spirit Halloween is gonna be lit in a few years!
Ain’t nobody gonna buy your stupid Nazibots either, di ckhead. You are universally despised.
Lol
They are making robots that are confirmed to not do anything on their own? The ones he has been scamming people and lying over using human remote operators?
The robots are going to finish that tunnel in California. They will carry your car through the tunnel, as always promised. They just need a little funding.
Fascist scammer
Optimus robots? Do they have a crossover truck model called Prime? Is it actually a decepticon?
He desperately wants people to think he’s cool.
lol this is hilarious. kick the bucket+++++++. this may be fun to watch.
Should Hasbro be able to sue for this? Sure there’s some trademark here.
How fuckin dare he drag Optimus’ name through the gutter with his fascist metal dogs.
Stock market capitalization bigger than all the European and American car brands COMBINED but they only sell two very similar vehicles. Makes sense
2 very similar cars and a $100k dumpster dressed as a truck
