There is no way that they need a a full factory for the robots yet. This is 100% spin.

That's not good, I am gonna get hit by Robot Rebellion first. ![gif](giphy|OlYEKypnEqv59zA1sQ)

That robot isn’t even functional yet!

Maybe they'll place all the robots in the desert next to all the cyber trucks they made that nobody bought as well.

Who tf is going to buy a robot?

Companies. Tesla will not be a direct to consumer business in 10 years

Your boss.

Lol this is so hilarious. I really hope he actually does it.

Umm in 10-20 years tesla will be known for robots. Nobody will remember they made cars.

You must have a terrible memory. Nintendo used to make playing cards 100+ years ago.

I get the feeling Elon may be lying. Probably going to close down the factory but using this to avoid the headlines

Yes let’s shut down production of products that people currently buy (even if it’s a small percentage) to make products that no one buys yet cause it’s not out, nor do they want to buy.

They don’t release X and S numbers right.?

It’s trying to boost q2 sales  Next quarter: “wow we got so many orders we realized these cars are beloved and we will keep making them”

How may robots do you think they will make in 2026?

I clearly see this as them using it for robotaxi since that lines up with them spinning up production. They dont even have a final version of optimus because it's changing so fast every 6 months, how can you even setup a production line for that? Congrats to them for finding something to make even less money than the S and X prod lines.

For consumer purchases? Somewhere between 0 and 1. I'm leaning closer to 0.

Saintcanuck 2026-01-30 18:46

I dont get it, what to do if we own one, price drop again.

Interesting-Bag-5896 2026-01-30 19:13

Me 🤷🏼‍♀️

Your wife’s boyfriend

SillyMilk7 2026-01-31 05:50

Don’t talk about my wife’s boyfriend like that. He’s a hell of a guy

beerissweety 2026-01-31 05:51

Is this to create MS/MX scarcity?

LukeKabbash 2026-01-31 16:17

The world is gonna get weird fast.

DelayNoMorexxx 2026-02-02 07:00

I will 100% buy it ☺️

Vidi_89 2026-02-08 16:09

The next disaster.

People panicking this might happen to newer Model need to understand how market works. You take out a product to make room for one that makes you more profit. This is what Elon is doing.
