Tesla Targets 1M Optimus Robots Annually, Logs 380K Driverless Miles
TSLA sits 18% above its 52-week low of $297.38.
Summary
Tesla is converting part of its Fremont plant to an Optimus robot line with a target of 1 million robots per year, though initial production will ramp slowly. The company also reported ~380,000 cumulative driverless miles by July, with 186 Model Ys registered in Austin, ~17 unsupervised fleet vehicles, and 100+ Cybercabs built at its Texas factory. On the regulatory front, Tesla sought 5,000 Nevada robotaxi permits but received only 10, limited to part of the Las Vegas Strip with a 45 mph max speed and airport proximity restrictions. The stock trades about 4% above its GF Value, reflecting investor bets on AI, robotaxis, and diversification beyond auto profits. This follows the June 2 report of the Fremont conversion, adding concrete production targets and operational metrics that quantify the robotaxi and Optimus ramp.
