Tesla Optimus 3 production ramp: summer 2024 start, high-volume target summer 2025
“I think we'll start production on Optimus 3 this summer. Um but but very slow at first... and then probably reach high volume production around summer next year.”
Why it matters
Tesla is publicly committing to a specific manufacturing ramp timeline for Optimus, signaling material capex deployment and operational focus. This implies supply chain buildup and component procurement acceleration.
Investment implication
Investors should monitor Tesla's capex guidance and supply chain disclosures for Optimus-related spending. Suppliers of actuators, sensors, compute, and manufacturing equipment may see order volume spikes ahead of summer 2025 ramp.
