According to The Information, Tesla has sharply increased Optimus production.
- Fremont output went from a few dozen robots weekly in Q2 2026 to several hundred by August, with managers targeting an automated line producing 1,000+ robots per week by end of 2026 — implying Tesla already has thousands of humanoids.
- Elon Musk has reportedly been privately showing videos of an unrevealed Optimus v3 that could win "half of these things" (referencing a Chinese humanoid Olympics). Tesla is working toward Musk's proposed 2027 public sales launch, though no release date or official production figures have been confirmed.
