Tesla is targeting a 2027 launch for its Optimus humanoid robot, potentially opening the door for customers outside the company to purchase AI-powered robots for the first time.
Elon Musk has previously indicated that public sales could begin by late 2027, provided the robot meets the necessary safety, reliability, and performance standards.
Tesla is preparing its Fremont facility for production, with Optimus expected to support factory operations before eventually expanding into household assistance.
However, the timeline remains tentative. Tesla has not confirmed official pricing or preorder details, and businesses could receive priority before sales expand to the general public.
