      > Musk said that Tesla’s long-term goal is to be able to manufacture 1 million Optimus robots in the current Model S and X production space.

      About as likely as the Apple Vision Pro becoming the next big thing. Maybe even less so because who the fuck is going to want a massive creepy robot in their home?

      > The company’s earnings report has also revealed that Tesla invested $2 billion in Musk’s other company, xAI. Tesla’s shareholders notably sued Musk in 2024 for starting xAI, which they argued is a direct competition to the automaker. The CEO has been claiming for years, after all, that Tesla is an AI company and not just an EV-maker.

      Tesla investors are fools, and it’s absolutely hilarious.

      Time for this tumor on society to tank.

      Elon Musk is officially killing off the Model S and Model X next quarter to make room for his robot obsession. Since sales for the older luxury EVs have dipped and trade wars ruined their appeal in China, Tesla is gutting that factory space to try and churn out a million Optimus humanoid robots instead.

      Elon is betting the whole farm on autonomy and his $2 billion side-hustle with xAI, basically telling drivers to enjoy their Model 3s while he focuses on building „the biggest product of all time.“

      Is this a scam? They’re winding down S and X so they can make robots that can’t even do basic things yet? Like that’s at least 5-10 years out. All they’re doing is reducing manufacturing complexity of their product line so they won’t lose as much cash.

      I guess they’ve got so many CyberUggs in storage lots, rusting away, that they won’t need to make new stock for the years it’ll take to convert to robot production…

    7. Leody on

      More like nobody is buying the cars so Elon is on to the next grift to keep the stock price inflated…

      After realizing FSD is way too ambitious, they’re scaling back to Full Self Walking.

      I think it’s hilarious that they are conceding people don’t want his cars anymore but they think people want his creepy robots. Can’t wait for this company to collapse.

    12. Any-Difficulty2782 on

      sure, i’ll totally put money on them delivering their pie in the sky promises on time and without defect

    13. CondiMesmer on

      Then rip Tesla. I don’t expect their robots to ever be a sellable functional product.

    14. OreoSpeedwaggon on

      Maybe they don’t have to kill them off. Maybe they could just *transform* them into something more than meets the eye. Robots in disguise?

    15. Slimfictiv on

      Looks like he’s run out of lies for investors. The bubble will pop soon. He’ll book a ticket to South Africa?

    16. BlackberryPi7 on

      I cannot believe I’m at a point here in Canada where I am actually rooting for Chinese EVs over American EVs.

      I just..I just can’t believe that. Had you asked me if I would be 4 years ago I would have laughed in your face.

    18. Goforabikeride on

      Self diving Tesla robots arriving in 2027, most likely 3rd quarter or possibly never. 😜

    19. BalanceEasy8860 on

      Poor guy never managed to breed a child that loves him with any of his employees, So now he’s going to make his workers build hem…

      Jk.

      It’s going to be military hardware.

    21. drvirgilmd on

      But the model names won’t spell S3XY anymore!!! What’s Leon going to spank it to now?

    23. TheZapster on

      Plus they have all that extra aluminum from the SS-bertruck that they have to use, they can use it to skin the robots

    24. flickerdown on

      Way to over promise and under deliver there, Musk. 🤦‍♂️ Christ. He is a galactic dipshit.

      „As an aside, the Elon cult was all-in on electric cars until competition showed up, then all-in on autonomous driving until competition showed up, and now is all-in on robots — until competition shows up.“ — Michael Burry

    28. punkindle on

      Elon has one solution to every problem. Fire people and cut things. Soon he’ll have nothing left to cut.

      How in God’s name did he become the richest man on the planet? The universe is so unfair.

    29. Heavy_Schedule4046 on

      Just waiting for Optimus to lock me inside my burning house somehow.

    31. tarlin on

      Is musky going to hire a bunch of people to control all the robots, since we know tesla is just fraud?

    32. NtheLegend on

      S and X haven’t sold in big numbers in years, but this pivot is absolutely ridiculous. The fact that no one inside the company is calling him out on this is insane, but not terribly surprising considering they approved his „trillion dollar pay package“.

    34. Unconventional01 on

      They’re just gonna ignore the dumpster fire that cyber trucks are huh? Way to tank the stock more.

    35. Argented on

      These robots are supposed to cost between $20k and $30k. I wonder if one could be trained to mow lawns correctly or pick apples. If it could be taught some labor for $20/hr for 12 hours a day, it could pay for itself in about 3-4 months. If the labor it can do is worth $10/hour then it’s 6-8 months. The new slave labor. I thought AI was just going to take all sit down jobs. Give it another decade and they’ll be flipping our burgers and replacing our roofs…

      One of the most valuable companies in the world and they can’t maintain 7 Car models and work on robots at the same time? Honda was making and maintaining 7-15 car/suv models (to make no mention of motorcycles, lawn mowers, generators, snow blowers, water pumps, pressure washers, tillers, marine outboard motors, industrial engines and a jet) while working on ASIMO and the robotics and AI ( in the fucking 80s and 90s no less) it was a testbed for. Sounds to me like Tesla needs someone with more ability to focus and multitask leading the company. Maybe they need to handle their CEO’s social media addiction or get a CEO who doesn’t have other companies to run

    39. MetalDogBeerGuy on

      He’s gonna lock the handjob function behind a paywall and make Tesla money that way now

    40. local831 on

      Because his next 1 trillion pay package depends on robot production – thief

    41. Pretend-Average1380 on

      Robots aside, I’m still trying to trying to wrap my head around the car model cancellations. Are the Model S and X just not selling well? Are they not profitable?

    42. mca1169 on

      if they were reducing capacity to make more model 3’s i could get behind that but outright killing them off? sounds like financial suicide from Tesla. all in order to… *squints* make more robots. you mean those things people have to puppet behind demos at events?

      wtf is this timeline we live in?
