Tesla Optimus begins early production on Fremont high-volume line

Tesla's Q3 financial report shows that Optimus has begun production on the high-volume line in Fremont; the units rolling off are the first production-quality complete units, and the existing manufacturing process is considered suitable for a commercial product. On the earnings call, Musk said the program is in the early, slow-start phase of an S-curve and that ramp-up will be slow; most of the equipment for the 1 million-unit line has already arrived in Fremont, and AI and hardware reliability issues are expected to be resolved by the end of next year.
