Tesla Optimus Production Up ~10x: Hundreds a Week at Fremont, 1,000/Week Targeted by Year-End
mitchdeg · x · 2026-09-26
Tesla's Optimus humanoid production is scaling fast: several hundred units a week at Fremont (10x growth), with the former Model S/X line converted in under 50 days, Chinese suppliers locked in, and volume orders placed for Gen 3. The target is 1,000+ units a week on a continuous automated line by year-end.
Faraday Future's chairman called Optimus commercialization next year "very realistic." The poster argues hardware is moving while data and software remain the last hurdle—one Tesla can clear with its compute and real-world data.
