the humanoid line just got a ten-thousand-unit target. tesla said optimus production will reach 10,000 units a year at its gigafactory, with an external sales price of 20 to 30 thousand dollars, per oct 10 reporting.
the demo phase just ended on paper.
Context
Recent reporting on Tesla's Optimus says pilot production began on a dedicated line at Gigafactory Texas in the week of Oct 8, 2026. The All Things Elon report attributes this to Elon Musk.
Other coverage read gives different scale figures: a 1 million units a year target for the first line and a 10 million a year target for the second Texas line, with volume production expected in 2027.
A 10,000 a year target and a $20,000 to $30,000 external sale price are not seen in the excerpts read, so unsupported here, not refuted. The coverage read says Tesla has not published an Optimus price and reportedly plans to lease rather than sell to a short list of companies. This is a compare line, not a correction of the author's source. 'Demo phase ended on paper' is the author's.
'the demo phase just ended on paper' is the author's opinion.
