Tesla aims to produce 20,000 Optimus humanoid robots per week, but the intricate assembly of the robot's hand, which contains over 100 small parts and requires advanced dexterity, is causing significant production delays. Currently, Tesla produces several hundred robots weekly, targeting over 1,000 by year-end, far from the ambitious goal. The hand's complexity, including sensor reliability and tight manufacturing tolerances, alongside supply chain challenges, are the main bottlenecks. Additionally, the robot's AI still struggles with generalizing tasks, meaning even if production speeds up, the robots are not yet fully functional for diverse tasks. Investors should watch Tesla's ability to scale production and improve AI capabilities as key indicators of progress.
Tesla's market cap stands at $1.41 trillion as of September 29, 2026, with a daily trading volume of 38,349,282 shares on Pluang. Despite the ambitious plan to scale up Optimus robot production to 20,000 units weekly, Tesla's stock price has dipped 1.12% to USD 353.43 as of the same date and time. Pluang data shows a typical holding period of 87 days and a current order activity skewed towards selling at 61%, reflecting cautious investor sentiment amid production and AI challenges.
