    Tesla Q3 Earnings Call: Optimus Begins Mass Production on Fremont High-Volume Line; Hands Remain a Design Challenge

    Tesla's Q3 earnings call disclosed that Optimus has begun mass production on the Fremont high-volume line; the robots rolling off the line are the first production-quality units, and the current manufacturing process is already suitable for commercial products. During the Q&A, Konstantinos said the hand is the most challenging hardware area, with greater electromechanical complexity than the locomotion system actuators, and some custom gears bear a heavier reliability burden; Elon added that design changes are mainly concentrated in the hands, especially the fingers, and the difficulty lies in making the hands both wear-resistant and soft enough for delicate manipulation.

    Tesla shareholder meeting document confirms V3 Optimus is ready for mass production

    Tesla submitted its 2026 annual shareholder meeting document to the US SEC. The cover lists that V3 Optimus is ready for mass production, the first written confirmation, but no production volume, price, or delivery timeline is given. Images in the document show that V3 has notable changes from V2.5 in three areas: the shoulder, wrist, and dexterous hand. The dexterous hand has 22 degrees of freedom, uses tendon-driven transmission, and is equipped with tactile sensors, accounting for about 20% of the whole unit's cost. The plan is to make the tactile sensing layer into a separately replaceable sensing glove.
