Tesla plans to use Optimus humanoid robots to plug and unplug charging cables for Robotaxi, with wireless charging as the ultimate goal

Tesla plans to use Optimus humanoid robots to plug and unplug charging cables for Robotaxi as a transitional solution before wireless charging is deployed. Currently, Robotaxi still requires staff to charge manually at Supercharger stations; the Cybercab supports only Supercharging and has a hidden NACS port inside its rear bumper. Tesla has already planned a Robotaxi charging hub in Austin equipped with 80 wireless charging units. Optimus has just started early production at the Fremont factory, with first deliveries to enterprise customers planned for 2027.
