Tesla is actively ramping up its Optimus program with 110 job openings currently on the board. The robotics initiative is accelerating. According to leadership insights, the next iteration features a redesigned hand mechanism that represents a significant engineering breakthrough. The timeline is becoming clearer: a production-ready prototype is targeted for February or March 2026. Following that milestone, the company plans to scale manufacturing operations substantially. This development matters because advanced robotics intersects with automation trends that reshape how industries—including Web3 infrastructure—will operate in the coming years. The engineering ambition here is noteworthy: moving from prototype to production-scale deployment requires solving complex real-world challenges simultaneously.

I want all the phones, but I really can't hold out until mass production in 2026.

NGL, Optimus's breakthrough is pretty impressive, but we have to wait until mid-2026 for mass production in 2025? This speed is honestly a bit outrageous.

ngl the hand mechanism redesign is where the real arbitrage happens—manufacturing scale at that velocity creates insane optimization vectors nobody's pricing in yet

Wait, 110 jobs? Is Elon Musk really planning to develop humanoid robots?
---
In 2023, he said mass production would start, now it's moved to 2026? I’m increasingly skeptical about this timeline.
---
Breakthroughs in hand mechanism sound impressive, but we’ll have to see how it performs in practice.
---
Combining robotics and Web3 infrastructure... this logic is a bit crazy.
---
From prototype to production line, there are so many pitfalls along the way. Boasting is easy.
---
What does 110 jobs indicate? Either progress is super fast, or there's still a long way to go.
---
I'm just waiting to see if they can deliver by 2026. Anything else is just talk.

Optimus finger redesign? Sounds awesome, but can it really be mass-produced by 2026? Let's wait and see.
