Earlier this year, CEO Elon Musk announced “Tesla AI Day #2” with “many cool updates” on August 19. The original “Tesla AI Day” held last year was an event focused on the company’s self-driving program. The automaker also unveiled its Dojo supercomputer and announced plans for the “Tesla Bot” humanoid robot – now known as Tesla Optimus. The AI Day #2 was supposed to be held a year to the day after the first one, but Musk took to Twitter in June to delay the event to September 30. As for the reason for the delay, the CEO said that Tesla may have a working prototype of Optimus by then.

At the original AI Day, Musk announced the project by bringing a human in a robot custom on stage – which was obviously a joke – but it also brought criticism as a pie-in-the-sky project. However, the CEO has been doubling down on the project. The CEO even said that the company aims to start production of the robot in 2023, which surprised many. This is an extremely ambitious timeline for such an ambitious project, but Musk said on several occasions that it has become a priority.
