About Optimus Gen 3

Optimus Gen 3 is Tesla's third-generation humanoid robot, designed for general-purpose factory automation. Standing 173 cm tall and weighing 57 kg, it features 28+ degrees of freedom and a 20 kg payload capacity. Tesla has stripped away the exposed mechanical elements of earlier prototypes, encasing Gen 3 in a seamless exterior shell. The hands are fully redesigned with individual finger actuation capable of delicate manipulation tasks. Tesla plans initial deployment in its own manufacturing facilities, with external commercial availability targeted for the mid-2020s at an estimated price of $20,000–$30,000. The robot runs on Tesla's custom AI inference hardware and uses vision-based navigation without LiDAR. Battery life is approximately 5 hours. CEO Elon Musk has stated the goal of producing thousands of Optimus units by 2026, positioning the robot as Tesla's most significant long-term revenue opportunity.
