2027 will be the year of the robots. I also saw Tesla is ramping up to make millions of Optimus robots. And Amazon bought Fauna robotics which I predict we will start seeing "last 100 ft" deliveries soon. Amazon's Rivian packmobile will pull up to a block and 5 Fauna robots (they are short) will jump out and start delivering packages to the neighborhood. The robots are coming...

Do we have any evidence that Tesla is actually working on manufacturing millions of robots?

  I mean, it's entirely possible that Elon Musk is lying about the whole humanoid Tesla robot thing and it's a total utter scam and that everything online is just cgi, but let's pretend he's not that much of a scam artist.

    Not CGI - just human-controlled: https://www.reddit.com/r/robotics/comments/1ph3scw/tesla_optimus_faints_when_operator_takes_off_vr/ https://www.reddit.com/r/robotics/comments/1ph3scw/tesla_opt... https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-optimus-robots-bartending-controlled-by-humans-2024-10 https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-optimus-robots-bartend...

      Even if they're human controlled, the robots still need to exist to be human controlled.

        Sure but it’s like self driving vs piloted cars.. both are impressive in their own way but if someone proposes to sell 10 billion humanoid robots like Musk has, they obviously can’t be human-controlled.

  They cancelled the production of two vehicles, announced that those lines will be retooled for the robots , and they have jobs recs out. Who knows if they will be able to sell millions but it doesn't sound like they're not trying. https://www.tesla.com/careers/search/?region=5&site=US&state=CA&location=Fremont&query=optimus https://www.tesla.com/careers/search/?region=5&site=US&state...
