Optimus Gen 2 / Gen 3 Robot Profile, Specs, Status
Optimus Gen 2 / Gen 3 robot profile: Tesla, pilot status, specs, pricing notes, use cases, AI platform, and related Biped.News coverage.
Current status: Pilot
This record tracks the public Tesla Optimus program across Gen 2 evidence and Gen 3/next-generation coverage. Gen 2 features 11-DOF hands with tactile sensing and faster walking vs Gen 1. Biped keeps the score conservative because the strongest evidence is still Tesla-controlled internal deployment rather than external customer delivery.
