Elon Musk announced that Tesla plans to sell its Optimus humanoid robots to the public by the end of 2027.

He said the robots are already performing simple tasks in Tesla factories and expect to handle more complex industrial work later this year.

Musk emphasized that the robots will be highly reliable, safe, and versatile, capable of tasks like child or elder care.

He cautioned that initial production will be slow due to new parts and processes, but expects output to ramp up rapidly over time, Yahoo Finance has reported.

Experts note that scaling humanoid robots is complex, requiring credible manufacturing data, regulatory approval, and viable unit economics.
