Tesla Roadster event preview: Author says Optimus progress is the key highlight

Tesla has announced that the Roadster event will be livestreamed at 8:55 a.m. Beijing time on October 16 at SpaceX's McGregor, Texas facility, and Musk commented that timing is crucial. The author argues that what is more worth watching at the event is not the sports car but possible Optimus information, including progress on the Texas Optimus factory, finalization of V3 hardware, and the mass-production schedule, and notes the risk that the event may not mention Optimus at all.
