Tesla delaying Optimus commercialization: Freeman test version pushed to end of summer 2026, first professional customer access end of 2026, public version end of 2027

“Elon Musk admitted to his first semester in 2026 that no Optimus robot could really do a useful job at a large scale in Tesla factories and that the goal of deploying 10 robots internally was not achieved... The Freeman test version has been pushed to the end of summer 2026. The first professional customers should have access to robots by the end of 2026. When it comes to the public version, whose price is from 20 to 30 billion dollars, it was reported by the end of 2027.”
