Press X to doubt

Nope. No, they won’t.

Knowing Elon’s timeline, i doubt we’ll see it.

I guess the same way they're selling vehicles with Full Self Driving

Jesus, who takes this guy at his word anymore?

Lol, if this is the first prediction, we're talking about ~2040 until *supervised* humanoid robots

They'll show up in Tesla Roaders that drive themselves using FSD...

I mean this is pretty damn easy to do, companies have done this for decades at this point. I had a small humanoid robot as a kid. It won't be any useful of course, but that's a different discussion.

Imagine a world where Tesla focuses 100% on cars for people and Elon shuts up. And then imagine how much of peoples time went into removing and then fighting Management to bring back a goddamn stalk.

🤣

Articles of future Tesla improvements coincide with articles of him trying to be a politician.🤔

Gonna get an Android 18 skin for mine 😏

He'll deliver it in two weeks ! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v-33jcEDk4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v-33jcEDk4)

He's currently running the Pentagon so that's a hilarious take

Hahaha, no way

Never delivers is not correct. He partially delivers.

Why not? They can start selling them now if they want to. They might not be very useful though.

He always makes huge claims and delivers a decent chunk of the time, but much later than he originally promised.

2 weeks until FSD!

My initial reaction was to roll my eyes and chuckle.

We really need to make sure these robotic engineers are watching movies like Terminator and iRobot.

Sure, just like my fully autonomous self driving Roadster sitting in the garage that can take me to a SpaceX flight to the Mars colony. Fucking idiot.

Someone needs to pump Tesla stock price

lmao i'll believe it more when we see the Roadster

Are the finished robots there? Not sure what you're saying.

It’s literally driving unsupervised in Austin today!

People won’t buy something that isn’t useful.

xAi is running the Pentagon as of a few days ago. Won a dept of war contract after Grok was the only ai chat bot willing to use military intervention to aquire greenland. This is why grok nsfw was nerfed, was a bad look for the white house. I'm not making any of this up. Grok is the model the us military is relying on for all future ops.

2045 in Elon years.

They will. Itll just be a toy for the rich to use to show off however. A cool party trick.

Keep of the streets today

I believe he will start selling them, the same we he started selling the Tesla Semi in 2019. I mean Pepsi has apparently around 80 Semis, but Tesla doesn‘t release actual sales numbers for the Semi and calls all Semis on the road "Prototypes". So technically you could say that Tesla started selling them, even tho only 200 have been built, far from the 50,000 per year Musk promised in 2019.

I’m planning to sell a robot I’ve developed at the end of 2027 as well. It’s using some innovative materials like cardboard, and it will have a flashing light, maybe a sound, and can perhaps roll a little before getting stuck in the carpet. It’s mostly a great companion which you’ll bond with because you have to help it. You’ll see these guys everywhere soon!

He will, they won't do anything but he'll sell them anyway

So.. 2030 maybe?

The first Tesla Bot murder will surely be something

1 million robotaxis in 2020

You mean flying roadsters woth thrusters and 1000kms of range..

Only subscription option...

All the BS he’s peddled sells out. This won’t be any different. But I don’t believe for a second he’ll be selling anything close to useful for another 3 years. Dude doesn’t meet his own deadlines.

End of 2027 plus 2 weeks.

Just dont buy one and pay extra for the ai features... it won't work till hardware 5

And all Tesla owners will be able to make money off of their cars being robotaxis by the end of 2019…

Let’s assume that’s true. How will those robots be trained?

[https://breakingdefense.com/2025/12/pentagon-rolls-out-genai-platform-to-all-personnel-using-googles-gemini/](https://breakingdefense.com/2025/12/pentagon-rolls-out-genai-platform-to-all-personnel-using-googles-gemini/) The Pentagon uses Gemini as well.

Eh, he is usually wrong on his timings, but his huge claims usually eventually deliver. He sometimes does not deliver, but to say he never delivers is disingenuous.

I lost a ton of money (shorting Tesla) when he announced that they would sell 50k humanoid robots THIS Year!!! In 2025. I even have a word for it “legion”, “legions of robots”. I thought no one would believe him, everyone believed him. Then he fired the head of his robot division, took over and said he didn’t have enough CPUs - that’s why. His robots can’t do crap - at least those VR robots actually can clean your house lol. And he copied the same VR tech.

Yes and the factory will be on Mars and they will be delivered by self-flying rockets.


sell? Sure, you can sell anything you want. Deliver? Maybe in the next 10 years.

As a lover of my Model 3, I 100% doubt this is a factual statement.

They’ll start “selling” them and the only customers will be Tesla factories and SpaceX

Right well according to Elon’s timeline he’s like 5 years behind schedule

Roadster was announced in 2017. Its almost a decade later and nothing has been released.

There's a huge difference between a $200 flamethrower or $50 bottle of tequila and a multi-thousand $$ "robot"

Elon also said FSD coast to coast by the end of 2017.

So roughly by 2037 in Elon time

Sex robots? Pls tesla lol

Probably around the same time the Roadster starts shipping.

So 2030 at the earliest, at which time the “humanoid robots” will be barely functional and humanoid in shape only.

He’s still selling the Tesla roadster that never made it to production. I don’t believe he’ll struggle w sales, it just won’t come out for 3 more years

2027 in musk time is 2059

And usually very late (Semi, Roadster come to mind)

Be suspicious of anyone who always talks about what they will do and not what they have done.

I mean, they also sold cars that were (capable of) fully self driving in 2017.

Elon, this reminds me of the time you tried to drill a hole through your head

Elon says 2027. Ok, so 2035. Got it.

And who will buy them? I am certainly not interested in another adult human sized thing living rent free in my house, taking up ~30 cubic feet of my space, idling 99% of the time. I can spend the 10 minutes to fold my own laundry, treat it like meditation time. And sitting on the couch the entire time and have stuff fetched for me will just lead to an earlier death for me (we already sit too much).

 Aliexpress will be full of cosplay options after Elon releases his bot. Silicon add ons, wigs , faces, all sorts of degeneracy. I hope he doesn't integrate Ani into it.....

They can sell it, doesn’t mean it’ll be good and have a high demand.

Can shareholders please sue him if this yet another thing ends up being a complete lie to boost the stock price? Like Christ he defrauds you over and over but the big guys don't care. You are buying at an inflated price because of the false promises.

The early models aren't for home, they will do repetitive tasks in factories.

That doesnt make sense either, you do not need a bipedal humanoid robot for factory work. ALL manufacturing has been using specialty designed robots, that are BETTER than a bipedal humanoid robot for decades. They can have 3 arms, 20 arms, move on belts at insane speeds, move vertically, be tiny or huge, rotate in all sorts of ways... all limitations of bipedal humanoid robot. This adds ZERO value to factories. Human body is a limitation rather than a benefit for a robot. Imagine a humanoid robot carrying 1 box at 4 miles per hour (human walking speed), versus a much simpler robot carrying 100 boxes at 60 miles per hour? Because its a dolly shaped robot with wheels. Why have fingers to put screws in when your whole hand can be a screwdriver capable of magnetically hold the screw and put it in without having to twist your wrist 30 times back and forth.

Can’t, he’s ending Model X.

Controlled by a guy in India with a VR headset.

I guess but I think him lying for years to pull investment money into this company and eventually make things work is pretty shit.

Don’t have to imagine it. There was a golden era where Tesla was on track to become the biggest carmaker in the world. Gigafactories, compound growth, new and exciting models. I think that embryonic era is why most of us are still here. It pains me to think all the naysayers were right about Elon. The PayPal people were correct in getting him out when they did.

What was negatively said about him?
