Elon Musk says Tesla Optimus robots will be 'biggest product ever made'
“This is a super big deal,” Musk said, claiming no invention “will even be close” to making as big of an impact as Optimus. “I think it will be 10 times bigger than the next biggest product ever made, like that level.”
Tesla posted a video of Optimus following instructions, like picking up trash, opening a garbage bin and placing it in, or ripping a paper towel from a roll. It also showed the robot vacuuming, stirring a pot, and doing basic assembly that mimicked a Tesla Model X factory line.
