Tesla Fremont factory begins initial Optimus production, plans to build 10,000 to 20,000 units first for training at Optimus Academy

In its third-quarter earnings report, Tesla confirmed that the Optimus humanoid robot production line at its Fremont factory has begun initial production, with the first batch of robots meeting mass-production manufacturing standards rolling off the line; the line is planned for an annual capacity of 1 million units. On the earnings call, Musk said the plan is to first build about 10,000 to 20,000 robots and send them to a training facility called Optimus Academy to practice autonomously, using the resulting data to iterate the next generation of AI models, and he expects deliveries to external companies to begin around the end of 2027.
