[Related: Tesla updated latest glitch with its windows.] While Musk’s timetable for a market ready Optimus has been somewhat vague—he previously estimated production could begin next year—during the Q&A portion he conceded that consumers probably won’t see the product for at least 3-5 years. When, or if, it does hit markets, Tesla’s CEO said he thinks the product will cost under $20,000, although he’s offered similarly bullish price ranges in the past. For example, the company’s Model 3 EV was long touted as costing consumers around $35,000 before its release; drivers can snag one now for around $47,000. Optimus joins a very crowded field of working humanlike robots, many of which can be seen doing backflips, walking up and down stairs, and performing far more complex dance routines. Musk made sure to highlight that Tesla’s project differentiates itself because it, unlike a company such as Boston Dynamics, is focused delivering machines at a high-volume to general consumers. Musk has long sounded off on his fears regarding artificial intelligence, cautioning against various robopocalypse scenarios if developed recklessly. Musk’s approach to Optimus, he argued, is meant to avoid “pav[ing] the road to hell with good intentions”.
