Tesla launched its first Optimus humanoid robot production line at the Fremont factory. VP of Vehicle Engineering Lars Moravy confirmed the facility is now operational. CEO Elon Musk shared images of the active line to signal the project’s transition from concept to manufacturing.
Tesla shares traded near $420 following the announcement. The market reaction indicates a shift toward valuing the company as an AI and robotics firm rather than a traditional automaker.
This milestone arrives as Tesla manages declining EV sales in some regions alongside strong growth in parts of Europe. Investors remain focused on future-facing projects like Optimus and Robotaxi to drive long-term value.
