Elon Musk Showcases Tesla Optimus Gen 3 Assembly Line at Giga Texas

Tesla Optimus Gen 3 Mass Production

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has officially revealed the Optimus Gen 3 humanoid robot assembly line at Gigafactory Texas. Showcasing over 50 fully active robots executing welding and parts-placement tasks, Musk confirmed that Tesla is on track to produce thousands of humanoids for internal use by late 2026.

Technical Enhancements in Gen 3

  • Upgraded Tactile Sensors: Optimus Gen 3 features custom-designed tactile sensors on all fingers, allowing it to handle delicate components like wires and glass plates.
  • Tesla FSD Integration: The humanoid runs on the same Full Self-Driving neural network architecture used in Tesla vehicles, processing visual feeds with high efficiency.
  • Extended Battery Capacity: A new 2.5 kWh battery pack integrated into the torso provides up to 12 hours of continuous operational runtime.

    • Musk reiterated that humanoid robots will eventually represent a market larger than vehicles, predicting that Optimus will become Tesla's most valuable asset.
