Elon Musk has shelved the production lines for the Tesla Model S and Model X, shifting focus to mass-producing robots. As the sole leader in robotics, is there a chance for a 100x return?
1. Which production line got 'sacrificed'?
The line being phased out is the Model S and Model X production line at Tesla's Fremont factory in California. These vehicles were Tesla's early flagship models, but with their sales share dwindling (less than 3% of total), they officially ceased production in early May this year, with the last car rolling off the line.
2. What robots are set to be produced?
This line will be completely dismantled and revamped within 4 months for the mass production of Tesla's third-generation humanoid robot, Optimus (Optimus Prime). Production is expected to kick off here in late July or August this year.
3. How ambitious are the production goals?
Musk has set an ambitious target for this new line: to produce 1 million Optimus robots annually. Additionally, Tesla is planning a second-generation robot production line at the Texas Gigafactory, with a long-term goal of producing 10 million units per year.
4. What strategy is Musk playing at?
Musk has made it clear that this marks a strategic pivot for Tesla from being an 'electric vehicle company' to a 'physical world AI company.' Future resources will be heavily directed towards robots, autonomous driving (like the self-driving taxi, Cybercab), and AI chips.
