## Summary

Tesla confirmed on its Q3 2026 earnings call that Optimus has rolled off the mass-production line in Fremont; these are the first standard mass-production models, and production started one quarter earlier than planned at the beginning of the year. Musk said the capacity ramp-up will take at least a year, with a final target of 20,000 units per week, corresponding to a production-line hardware design ceiling of one million units per year. The AI capabilities needed for autonomous operation are expected to mature by the end of next year; robots rolling off the line before then will be used internally at Tesla first, with external supply coming later.
