## Summary

Tesla did not invite major investors to tour the Fremont factory this Thanksgiving as it has in past years, a move interpreted as extending the confidentiality period for the Optimus facility. Sources cited by Scobleizer say human data collection is 'massive in scale,' covering both home and factory scenarios; data collection operator positions appeared at Tesla about three years ago, requiring workers to wear 30-pound equipment.
