Elon Musk: Tesla Has What Others Don’t—AI and Scale for Humanoid Robots

Elon Musk: Tesla is uniquely positioned to manufacture a humanoid robot.

“We really have by far the best team of humanoid robotics engineers in the world. We also have all the other ingredients necessary.

You need a great battery pack, you need great power electronics, you need a great charging capability, you need great communications, it's going to have Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity.

And of course you need real-world AI. And then, the ability to scale that production to huge levels. You have to design for manufacturing.

What other companies are missing is they're missing the real-world AI, and they're missing the ability to scale manufacturing to millions of units a year.”
