Tesla is also developing the Optimus robot, which can be available for $20,000-30,000 and is capable of performing various tasks. Musk said, “This is a big thing”. It’ll save a lot of lives and prevent injuries.”
“Think about the total amount of time people spend in the car and how much time they will get back, which they can put into reading their books, watching movies, working or other things”, Musk told attendees at the event held at Warner Bros.
