Tesla Aims to Sell Optimus Robots by 2027

Tesla, the company that makes electric cars, wants to start selling robots that look like humans by 2027.

These robots are called Optimus.

Right now, Tesla is still working on making Optimus work better.

There are other companies, especially in China, that are already selling many of these kinds of robots.

For example, a company called Unitree Robotics sold over 5,500 robots in 2025, while Tesla and a few other companies each sold only 150.

In total, about 16,000 of these robots were used around the world in 2025, and most of them came from China.

Tesla wants to catch up and be successful in this new market.

Optimus is designed to do many different tasks, from working in factories to helping around the house.

It can walk, pick up things, and even do yoga.

Tesla plans to make a lot of these robots and sell them for about $20,000 to $30,000 each.

Some people think this could be a big change for the world, but others are not so sure because making robots is very hard.
