Here’s a breakdown of what was unveiled and when you can expect to see these vehicles and robots on the market.
Tesla Cybercab
The Cybercab is a premium point-to-point transportation vehicle that’s designed to be a more efficient and cost-effective alternative to traditional taxis. With a claimed running cost of 20 cents per mile, the Cybercab is poised to revolutionize the way we get around. Its sleek design, complete with butterfly doors and cymbal-like wheels, is sure to turn heads.
Optimus
Optimus is a humanoid robot that can perform a wide range of tasks, from teaching and babysitting to walking dogs and mowing lawns. According to CEO Elon Musk, Optimus will "do anything you want," making it a game-changer in the world of robotics. While there’s no release date for Optimus’ availability, Tesla plans to begin producing the robot next year for "low production internal use."
When Can You Expect to See These Vehicles and Robots?
While Tesla didn’t provide a specific release date for the Cybercab, it’s expected to hit the market soon. As for Optimus, it’s slated to begin production next year, but it’s unclear when it will be available for public purchase.
Take It with a Grain of Salt
As with any Tesla announcement, it’s essential to take these revelations with a healthy dose of skepticism. While the Cybercab and Optimus are certainly impressive, it’s unclear when they’ll actually hit the market and what their prices will be.
