Hands in Testing
Tesla's Optimus robots are stuck in internal testing, not shipping to customers.
Hand Assembly Problem
Tesla struggles to make durable robot hands that work reliably for basic tasks.
Musk's 2025 Target
Musk promised 1000 Optimus robots a week by end of 2025 but now targets 20000 weekly.
Sensing Glove Solution
Tesla uses a hot-swappable sensing glove instead of touch sensors in hands.
Training Data Shortfall
Robots need days to learn basic tasks despite hundreds of thousands of training hours.
The key point
Tesla can't build 1000 Optimus robots a week due to hand assembly issues.
