Why Elon Musk Says the Optimus Tesla Bot Is More Important Than Tesla Vehicles!

Amazing things are coming and the Optimus Tesla Bot is one one  them.  This robot is going to be relatively simple and used to eliminate dangerous, repetitive, boring tasks.  It will be 5’8″ tall, 125 pounds, with a carry capacity of 45 pounds and a speed of 5 mph.   For the most part people will be able to overpower this robot.  It isn’t being made to have the power of the Six Million Dollar Man.  Some people are scratching their head and others are smiling with the Six Million Dollar Man reference.  The Optimus Tesla bot is being made so it can be relatively cheap and replace many of the repetitive tasks humans do.  “We have a shot of being in production for version one of Optimus hopefully next year.” ~Elon Musk.
