Optimus: The Humanoid Robot

The event wasn't limited to vehicular innovations. Musk also provided updates on Optimus, Tesla's humanoid robot project. In a dramatic demonstration of progress, Optimus robots were shown walking around and interacting with attendees at the event's afterparty, serving drinks and showcasing their capabilities. This was a far cry from the initial Optimus announcement just a few years ago, which featured a person in a robot costume.

Musk made bold predictions about the future of Optimus, suggesting that it could become "the highest selling product of all time" and "the most important product of all time." He projected that in the long term, an Optimus robot could be available for purchase at a price point of $20,000 to $30,000, making it accessible to a wide range of consumers and businesses.
