### Background On 10 October 2024, at its "We, Robot" event, Tesla had several Optimus humanoids mingle with guests in interactive demonstrations. The robot's second generation, unveiled on video in December 2023 with a slimmer build and improved hands, made its first large-scale public appearance. Elon Musk mentioned a price of around $30,000 for a future commercial version. Several observers noted, however, that the interactive demonstrations relied on teleoperation, without the actual level of autonomy being clarified. ### Specifications Tesla did not publish an official spec sheet for Optimus Gen 2 on this occasion. Only sourced facts are listed here: | Item | Detail | |---|---| | Generation | Optimus Gen 2 (unveiled December 2023) | | Target price | About $30,000 (Elon Musk's statement) | | Control at the event | Partly teleoperated according to the press | ### Why it matters "We, Robot" placed Optimus at the heart of Tesla's public narrative, on a par with autonomous vehicles. The teleoperation debate highlights the gap between demonstration and autonomy. ### Key takeaway Tesla was then planning limited production in 2025 for its own factories.
