“Optimus will be the most successful product in history of humanity”

Not possible 80% of the population in the US alone has no use for it there either too young or too old to broke I don’t have a use for it Factories want automation not robots.

I'm sure if I had the energy I could find a tweet like this about Dojo and / or solar shingles.

Jason Calacanis, famous for slurping Elon.

Would have to beat out some of the heavy hitters such as plastic and wheat.

Dude is worlds biggest herb. The one thing he knows he can do to get a little attention is to publicly glaze felon.

We've entered a new cycle of 'Optimus pumping'.

I just can't take this delusional people anymore. How the fuck can they say stupid shit like that. The robotics market is highly fucking competitive already and tesla is already behind. Margins are gonna be low and prices high. Maybe they will have a small market share but based on their ability to produce new decent cars with at least level 3 of assisted driving I have more than serious doubt that they can deliver a fucking do all affordable humanoid robot anytime soon.

"the Cybertruck will be our greatest product ever!"...*some douche*..

$TSLZ I'm here for it.

And penicillin

It's rare to witness the birth of a future r/agedlikemilk post, but here we are Edit: the tweets, not the Reddit commentary on said tweets

EM= BS generator

Even if you had some interest in the Segway, the price being much higher than you would expect drove you away. The Cybertruck is hitting the same wall.

Yup, and the cyberdump does "truck things." LOL

Well for starters... they have a lot of money invested in Musk's companies.

Just the other day I drove to Home Depot and did "truck things" with my VW Passat sedan.

I can add that in the twitter sphere, everything good/bad/evil is said, and the powers that be promote what will allow them to rake in the $$$ from said investments

They're only 2 decades behind and surely will take lots of shortcuts..... They can't even do automatic wipers correctly.....

Amazon is already using about a million robots in its business. Cars are already made by robots. I already have one that vacuums. Elon thinks because his look like humans they must be special. Never talks about specs, price or operating costs either. Can you imagine what hoops you’ll have to jump through to get them fixed? You thought the Cybertruck was a flop? Just wait.

(Until our marketing department comes up with some other pie-in-the-sky idea.)

I do truck things with my Fit. Like hauling 30 cu ft of mulch, or 300 lbs of stone (not to be repeated unless we put some in the back seat footwell, ref “Little Red Wagon” or “Backup Pickup” for the effect). Oh yeah, I could buy five for the price of a base cyberfake

IT SQUEEZED THE BAG!!

The wheel, the lever, the screw (actually a lever wrapped around a wheel so just the first two)

If it could cook and do laundry then everyone of every age would want one. Of course it won’t be able to do that, though.

Nobody mentions how loud this thing would be banging around your house. And if it falls, the floor damage.. In other news, robot vacuums are pretty good 😆

The Segaway is a great tourist gimmick or a foot saver for Paul Blart but not much else. His all in one soda fountain has had more impact.

It will appeal to Magat Incels...

The Segway thing wasn't even 100% wrong :> Only 50% wrong. Future cities *will* be based on last-mile, non-ICE transportation (present-day cities have already made the shift). It's just not the stupid silicon valley solution that Steve Jobs was slobbering over, it's low cost scooters and bicycles, and that's not sexy at all to VC bros.

You’ll need a second Optimus to come through and pick up all the popcorn it spills.

Really, at some point Muskrat is going to push the BS just one step too far. Maybe it is is happening now.

Mouhahahahahahah it will require a lot of remote control workers

If it falls on you then you are maimed or worse. Also, does your fire insurance cover flaming robots?

I want deep tissue massages.

Week one the robot and/or your house would be on fire. The best cooking it could do is operate a microwave oven.

I could see some sort of very fast person transportation device taking over for cars in cities with enough automation. A lot of these transportation ideas make sense when people don’t control them.

Army to put out the fires. I’m investing in fire extinguishers.

Exactly in theory it sounds good. How much is the things gone away if it breaks down how do you get it into the car to a service center 800 miles away it doesn’t work it just doesn’t work

Gonna weigh

The head of the project left a few months ago and the project is still on pause. It’s crazy.

If we were in 1900, Elon would be the guy trying to build an airplane with feathers and flapping wings

I don't know. My insurance company was replaced by robots.

Yeah, I think it's just gonna be a sexbot

Even if you had the money, it would be cheaper and more effective to hire a live-in servant.

he is by far the worst

And a poor one at that!

But but but the video said Optimus would babysit my kids?!

Next week he'll say " I am @jason"

This is the same guy that uses that one prick blood machine

The Cybertruck of sexbots

Agreed - and he was already selling it as being able to babysit your kids... If you think the over-promise-under-deliver was high on cybertruck, wait till you see the scale of it on Optimus.

The thing is you don't have to design cities for Segway -- you just have to design them for non-car transportation (e.g. bikes). Segways wouldn't need any special accomodations beyond this. We choose to design our cities for cars, so there isn't any more place for segways as there are for bikes.

Split ends crazy eyes deep voice on command and a bottomless need to preserve one's self at any cost. What's not to like?

Then there should be thousands, free to grab, in shopping center parking lots!

It's first principles.  You don't see any birds flying around with a jet pack strapped to their ass do you?

80% percent of the future population will be living in small homes and apartments without space for an overpriced broken humanoid robot.

“Possible” — he is choosing his words very carefully now that he’s been sued multiple times and forced to put (supervised) after FSD. He’s full of shit. Wouldn’t be surprised if Tesla lawyers have to approve his tweets relating to Tesla now

"it will take incredible effort and I will take incredible profits"

I hope for the remaining stockholders that it will not be like cyber truck, semi, FSD, Robitaxi…

Even if it could cook and do laundry, it still wouldn’t be a useful product because it would be way too expensive for those tasks. A humanoid robot is extremely expensive to build and maintain.  Ironically the main competition for this product is human labor and Republicans are the people keeping human labor as cheap as possible in the United States. At least, unskilled minimum wage human labor.

Too many sharp edges though. Ouch.

Famous total moron glazing other famous total moron. Famous spineless weasel glazing famous con artist. Take your pick.

Exactly

Incels don't care!

80% of the future population will be paying so much for housing and basic necessities that they’ll be priced out of a humanoid robot

Really? Will it be fueled by ketamine?

Optimus is just supposed to be a housekeeper for rich racist incels who don't want to see people with darker complexion inside their house. They will all be teleoperated from India, able to make fart noices at the owners command and have a vagina. Nothing beyond that.

If they make one that can mow and weed eat and do dishes and laundry and clean and it’s less than $35,000 I’m getting one lol

Birds don’t need LIDAR either!

not for me

Musk responding to a sycophant on Twitter is basically https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/its-always-2-dumb-bitches-telling-each-other-exactlyyyyy It's even an example image.

If only it would suck your dick, do your laundry and call your parents, everyone would want one. If. If. If. If.

In fairness to the segway comment. Most cities are now overrun with battery scooters, many of which are made by segway.

Or just buy a dishwasher and hire a landscaper for $200 bucks a month

We, as Americans need to move more. Another stupid idea of Musk. Space trash, Mars colonies and useless trucks aren't enough for the loser. I go out of my way to do things without shortcuts and easy buttons.

Didn't the owner of Segway die driving one off a cliff?

Steve Jobs was wrong, of course. (And Musk is a lying sack of shit. stipulated.) Howeverrrrrr - The revolution of small battery personal transport is unquestionably a transformative technology: eBikes, eScooters, eSkateboards and so on are rapidly reshaping local road use and altering pedestrian and road traffic in remarkable ways. Jobs was wrong about the specific vehicle, but something in what he observed has come true. Not really on topic for this thread or sub, but it’s an interesting event.

Why can’t we have gifs here…

Jason definitely bought FSD

Hype is becoming boring

Please buy more of my overvalued companies stock for a product that won't be available for another decade.

It's quite confusing to me. Tesla is behind in self driving. They're way behind in robotics and hopeless far behind in AI. Optimus might as well be vaporware. How is it that investors are buying this shit?

Didn't he say the same thing about the Wankpanzer?🤔😂

The Optimus hype makes no sense to me. At least with FSD they can claim that they're the only ones doing vision only and it'll give them a cost and scale advantage. Of course I'm highly skeptical that it'll ever be safe enough and people should listen to the experts on why others aren't doing it but at least I can see how people can believe it. With Optimus I have no idea what their big competitive advantage is even supposed to be. As far as I can tell about a million others are doing humanoid robots and they're further along than Tesla. I'm pretty sure it's nothing more than just massive blind faith in everything Elon does.

How deep we talking?

If you own an ebike, you can see how the Steve Jobs’ statement just might end up being true.

This

Would probably microwave metal and burn the house down tho

Elmo knows his elmobiles sales are tanking, Optimistic is years away, the design director left a couple of months ago and Teala said they were reviewing the optimisation strategy.

So you're saying there's built in unlimited demand....

Ok, but even if it is, how are you deriving multi trillion dollar variation from it? At least the Tesla car exists and is proven to work and makes money, and has a market. You can debate some of the business, but let's not kid ourselves. That's a real product right there. But how can you promise global viral adoption and utter market domination in a field that: 1. Doesn't exist yet and 2. Is not even in beta? At least open AI exists and has already sold a product that works and people have adopted. Plus, with a product that doesn't exist, you can promise anything up to it delivering mind blowing fellatio every night to drum up conversation. But it doesn't live in reality and it's at a minimum like 10 years away. We were promised full self driving like 10 years ago and now we have* it. This new thing is is going to be even more difficult. At least with a car, it's a fairly limited use case, limited degrees of freedom in its manipulation of reality, a very codified and policed environment (the street), and a limited set of behaviors (forward, backward, turn, turn). But a humanoid robot that can do *everything*? You can dream about it, sure, but you can't promise blockbuster success and value a company on it. Let's give musk the benefit of the doubt and say they have the most advanced robotics on the planet. Even if that were the case, then the additional valuation would at most be one Boston Dynamics worth of valuation, not trillions

Factories are already automated as much as is reasonable. How many man hours does it take to build a car these days? 20-30 hours. That's crazy! In 1890, it took 1000 hours. So even if a robot can do the last 20 hours too, most of the edge has already been realize from automation of factories

No use for a robot? Imagine if you could replace all of your household gadgets with one! Also it can cook and clean up after all the food it spills on the floor! Washing machine? Why bother when Optimus can take your clothes down to the creek to beat them against some rocks!

I think what we need is a sort of broken household appliance national forest

No creek by my house. But like your enthusiasm

I guess lying through your teeth at an incredible rate does take some effort, yeh

Quit screwing around. Your overthinking it lol

And Optimus is so shit the lead guy quit and they had to do a redesign because the joints keep breaking.

To be fair, can 100% see future cities relying heavily on PEVs.

The other thing Elon and his type don't seem to understand is - a lot of people don't view a humanoid as a helper, but a replacement. Fine if you're a billionaire, but if it takes your shitty job, not so great. Not that this is going to happen for decades. And definitely not from Tesla.

My bet is that this guy is just a random who pays to be blue-checked, what used to be called a cock sucker

Throw Optimus on the pile with the Metaverse, VR headsets, Google Glass, the Hyperloop, Clippy, the Newton, the Cybertruck, LLM hallucinations and Elon’s half-assed version of fully autonomous driving.

As usual. Musk knows that he will not be able to deliver the Robotaxi (self driving) during 2025 as promised, and is trying to set new goals, beyond robotaxi, to keep the stock price at an elevated level (p/e 200…)

Deep cuts. You deserve an award

I've just worked it out. Optimus robots will be programmed to buy Tesla cars. Genius...

Google, Nvidia and all the other companies investing humanoid robots should just accept that they don't stand a chance against Tesla because reasons.

And yet cars are stupid expensive these days.

A Ford Escape is 29k, or 800 hours of a median worker's salary in LA

I agree. Musk is a fake it till you make it kind of guy at least when it comes to the Robo taxis and Optimus prime. He has become so predictable with his kicking the can down the road I believe he’s coming to a dead end.

Nope. Sliced bread is the most successful product in history of humanity.

Musk will pivot to using Optimus to mine for Gold and Silver in the mines. Just watch. He always jumps on the next idea. Next stop will be to mine that asteroid.

The remote controlled robot? What a joke 😂

Like two hours, every muscle in my body. Like elbow shit from a human but I suspect robots could do it with precise force from the fingers!

Juicero lives rent free in my mind. It's my Roman Empire.

It will dig the creek for you

Lol Upstate New York or Tarpon Springs Florida

This from the same company that: - is the world leader in home solar panels - owns 2/3 of the battery energy storage market - solved autonomous driving - made every vehicle they ever sold earn revenue from ridesharing and appreciate in value Oh wait..

I believe Optimus would kneed your muscles into a fine paste

Say it again

You are confusing assembly with building a whole car. Every part you outsource and buy reduces the manhours in your assembly, but the manhours don't vanish, they're just in the price of the part now.

Optimus is a far superior product than those weird scooters.   The use cases for Optimus are endless.

Your spelling and punctuation are awful, but you’re damn right.

You’re right sorry blame it all on Siri plus I don’t proofread my bad but it’s still all true

The stock is the product.

Here is a question worth considering: what is Tesla doing in 2025 that is innovative?

80% of the population will have nightmares of a faceless robot squashing their head like a melon.

So what you're saying is that in 15 years, the only thing we'll be seeing Optimus robots used for is carrying tour groups around city centers?

A replacement for what? Knowledge workers don’t get replaced by robots. They just get replaced by servers. Industry doesn’t need humanoid robots. Can it do dishes or vacuum the carpet, or fold laundry? I kind of doubt it. Do any of those benefit from a humanoid design anyway?
