Tesla Optimus lines target 1M robots/year, public sales eyed for late 2027

A widely shared thread recaps Tesla's Optimus Gen 3 roadmap: Musk targets public sales by end of 2027, with production lines already being installed at Fremont and planned capacity of 1 million robots per year.
The author's bigger point is social: once robots embed into family life, children form real attachments — walking the dog, playing, filming birthdays — and after a decade of daily presence, a household may treat it like family even without believing it's alive. That normalization scenario, he argues, is scarier than the production numbers.
