Musk says Optimus deliveries to begin around end of 2027, possibly via leasing

Musk said Tesla's humanoid robot Optimus will begin deliveries around the end of 2027, and the delivery model may be leasing rather than selling. The initial cost per Optimus unit is about $30,000, later dropping to around $20,000. Before external deliveries, Optimus will first be used in Tesla's own factories. Tesla may open Optimus pre-orders in early December.
