> Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the new robot should be able to walk within the next few weeks Further down... > Tesla revealed that it had the first prototype in February of 2022, which led to this new version that is now supposedly about to walk in the next few days. I can see this yet another cybertruck/hyperloop/solarcity Muskery... guy is the saint patron of smokeware at this point.

Yup. To cherry-pick one example from the press coverage of this event. 'Musk has said he expects Tesla will achieve full self-driving this year and mass-produce a robotaxi with no steering wheel or pedal by 2024. At an “Autonomy” event in 2019, Musk promised 1m robotaxis by 2020 but has yet to deliver such a car.' https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/sep/30/tesla-optimus-humanoid-robot-elon-musk-ai-day https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/sep/30/tesla-opt...

For Cybertruck they literally built a giant new factory first because they didn't have the existing capacity to build it, and existing factories were better tooled for the successors to their existing car designs (e.g. Model Y). That new factory (in Texas) is now finished, so... yeah, Cybertruck probably not "smokeware". Just delayed for various reasons, some of which all car manufacturers are experiencing right now. Elon Musk never said he was going to build a Hyperloop. He said "I had this idea, here is a blue paper". Some people (not him) ran with the idea. Solarcity was acquired by Tesla and Tesla (to this day) continues to operate in the Solar and energy storage space as Tesla Energy. You can order your own Tesla Solar Roof with a Tesla Powerwall today if you want.
