Questions
Can I buy or hire Optimus?
No. Tesla hasn't opened sales to outside customers, and there's no authorised reseller. Treat any site taking deposits with caution. Ask us about humanoids you can hire today.
How much will it cost?
Tesla hasn't published an orderable price. Figures quoted online are targets or estimates.
What are its specs?
There is no official spec sheet for a production model yet. Numbers online may come from older prototypes or targets.
Is Tesla using it already?
Yes, on selected tasks in its own factories as a development and testing environment. That isn't the same as commercial readiness.
