A little more than two years have passed since Elon Musk announced that Tesla has begun to move towards developing humanoid robots. The company quickly showed the first prototypes (one assembled model that barely moved, and another that stood on a stand and waved to the audience), and then the second generation of robots, which received some important improvements and inspired more confidence in the project. < /p>
In a previous update, Tesla's CEO said Optimus was “grossly undervalued” and predicted demand to reach 10-20 billion units. Musk also stated that humanoid robots will make up “the majority of Tesla's long-term value” and will be present in every home in the future to perform manufacturing and service work.
For the billionaire's predictions to work, the price must be acceptable. Musk previously talked about $40,000 per unit, but judging by a recent comment in X, he is now considering a much lower price, which would be less than half the cost of the car.
Complexity per unit mass is much higher with humanoid robots, but still I think it ends up costing less than half of a car

The automaker has long provided its vehicles with the Internet – this is how Tesla updates software and collects some data. The company started with 3G and 4G LTE, however, judging by the description of the new vacancy, it plans to switch to 5G.
