Tesla Optimus Production to Kick Off at Fremont in Late July 2026
During Tesla's Q1 2026 earnings call, Elon Musk confirmed that Optimus robot production will begin at the Fremont factory in late July, with a volume ramp targeting one million units of annual capacity by 2027. The announcement came after earlier timeline slippages, and the low-volume summer start is seen as a critical milestone for the program. The Gen 3 variant is reported to be in final development stages.
