Joe Tegtmeyer posted new drone footage of Tesla's Optimus humanoid robot factory at Giga Texas. A high-altitude 360-degree flyover shows the scale and rapid progress of construction — in early March the site was bare dirt where major excavation had just begun.
Pioneerlands estimates the factory could reach its maximum capacity of 10M humanoid robots by 2029, conditional on demand.
