According to The Information, Tesla scaled Optimus output at its Fremont plant to several hundred units per week in August 2026, roughly 10x Q2 levels. Key details: Tesla repurposed its former Model S/X line space for Optimus; management told employees plans call for a continuous automated assembly line capable of over 1,000 units per week by late 2026, with a long-term roadmap of 20,000 units per week. Fremont is a pilot template, not the final mass-production site—and per the repost, the robots aren't shipping to customers but staying in Tesla's own factories to help train the next line.
