Tesla Bot Gen 3 BEST Highlights At 2025 Tesla Annual Shareholder Meeting! Elon Musk SHOCKED! — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00So the the the scale of of of Optimus,
- 0:03like I said, that's really going to be
- 0:05something else. Um
- 0:07I think it's going to be the biggest
- 0:09product of all time by far.
- 0:13Yeah.
- 0:15So
- 0:18like bigger than cell phones, bigger
- 0:20than anything.
- 0:21>> The Tesla annual shareholder meeting
- 0:232025 has just taken place. And just like
- 0:25last year, the spotlight once again
- 0:27belonged to the Tesla bot. Elon Musk
- 0:30turned this year's shareholder meeting
- 0:32into a vivid sci-fi showcase. At the
- 0:34event, Musk revealed a series of updates
- 0:36and plans for the Tesla bot. As he
- 0:39stated, the Tesla bot could one day
- 0:41become more common than smartphones and
- 0:43might even eliminate poverty through the
- 0:45valuable work it will be able to
- 0:46perform.
- 0:47>> But actually, Optimus will actually
- 0:50eliminate poverty. Optimus will actually
- 0:52give people incredible medical care.
- 0:54>> But it didn't stop there. The audience
- 0:57was absolutely thrilled by the Tesla
- 0:59bot's performance, complete with dance
- 1:01moves. It literally danced along with
- 1:03Elon Musk. And this time, there were no
- 1:06tethers stabilizing Optimus. Elon Musk
- 1:09even went on to declare that Tesla
- 1:10Optimus could eventually monitor
- 1:12prisoners. Oh my god, this is truly
- 1:14insane. Let's get to the latest
- 1:16announcements about the Tesla bot right
- 1:18now. During the meeting, Elon Musk
- 1:20called Optimus the biggest product of
- 1:22all time, surpassing even the
- 1:24smartphone. He envisions that in a few
- 1:26decades, every person on Earth will want
- 1:28to have their own robot like R2-D2 or
- 1:31C3PO in Star Wars, but smarter, more
- 1:34useful, and most importantly, more
- 1:36humanlike. These Tesla bots won't just
- 1:39clean up or carry things. They'll also
- 1:41be able to assist in surgery with a
- 1:43level of precision that exceeds even the
- 1:44best human surgeon.
- 1:46>> Optimus will ultimately be better than
- 1:47the best human surgeon with a level of
- 1:49precision that that isn't possible, that
- 1:52that is beyond human. Elon believes
- 1:54Optimus could eliminate poverty and
- 1:57bring great health care to all. That is
- 2:00the greatest promise Elon Musk has made.
- 2:02That technology can not only make money
- 2:04but also save the world. According to
- 2:07Elon Musk, the ingredients needed to
- 2:09create Optimus have actually been within
- 2:11the Tesla ecosystem for a long time. He
- 2:13stated that the cars Tesla is currently
- 2:15producing are already robots. They are
- 2:17just four-W wheeled robots. For example,
- 2:20the Cyber Cab robo taxi is completely
- 2:22autonomous just like a robot. Tesla's
- 2:24electric vehicles all possess a battery,
- 2:26a power electronic system, motors, a
- 2:28gearbox, network connectivity, AI based
- 2:31vision, a processing chip, control
- 2:33software, and the ability to manage a
- 2:35fleet of autonomous vehicles. All of
- 2:37which are also the constituent elements
- 2:39of a complete humanoid robot. Thanks to
- 2:41this existing foundation, Musk
- 2:43confidently asserted that Tesla has the
- 2:45full capability to lead the global
- 2:47manufacturing of humanlike robots.
- 2:49Optimus is simply a robot with arms and
- 2:51legs. From this perspective, Elon Musk
- 2:54confidently shared during the meeting
- 2:55that Tesla is currently the world's
- 2:57largest robot manufacturer. There's
- 3:00really three things that are super
- 3:01difficult about robots. One is the
- 3:03engineering of the forearm and hand
- 3:06because the human hand is an incredible
- 3:09incredible thing actually.
- 3:11>> According to Musk, there are three
- 3:12extremely difficult factors that have
- 3:14prevented many other companies from
- 3:15creating truly effective robots. The
- 3:18engineering of the arms and hands,
- 3:20artificial intelligence in a real world
- 3:22environment, and the ability to achieve
- 3:24mass production. Elon Musk emphasized
- 3:27that the human hand is a masterpiece,
- 3:29extremely dextrous and delicate.
- 3:31replicating it is the biggest challenge.
- 3:33But he believes Tesla is the only
- 3:35company that currently possesses all
- 3:37three of those pieces. Something that
- 3:39rivals like Boston Dynamics or Figure AI
- 3:42still lack. Tesla has experience
- 3:44producing millions of cars every year.
- 3:46Has a team of AI engineers developing
- 3:48the advanced full self-driving system.
- 3:51And most importantly, it has the massive
- 3:53industrial automation processes
- 3:55necessary to scale up robot production
- 3:57in the future. when you see Optimus 3.
- 4:01Yeah,
- 4:04[applause]
- 4:08uh you it will seem as though that
- 4:11there's someone like like a person in a
- 4:13robot outfit. Um which is how we started
- 4:16with Optimus.
- 4:17>> Currently, Optimus is at version 2.5 and
- 4:20can already move independently, navigate
- 4:22around office spaces, recharge itself,
- 4:24and perform basic tasks. But according
- 4:27to Musk, the next generation Optimus 3
- 4:30will be a true leap forward. He
- 4:32described it as so realistic that when
- 4:35you see it, it'll look like a person
- 4:37wearing a robot suit. Musk has confirmed
- 4:40it will debut in the first quarter of
- 4:41next year. Meanwhile, Tesla plans to
- 4:44refresh Optimus every year. Version 4 is
- 4:47scheduled for 2027 and version 5 for
- 4:492028. The company's goal is to release a
- 4:52new generation annually, each with major
- 4:54upgrades and exponentially larger
- 4:56production capacity.
- 4:58>> Um, and then Optimus uh
- 5:01Optimus 4, you know, that that hopefully
- 5:04starts production in 27 and then Optimus
- 5:085 in 28. So, it's kind of like an annual
- 5:10release cycle with significant
- 5:11improvements.
- 5:12>> What truly surprised the tech world was
- 5:15Musk's cost revelation. Once Tesla
- 5:18reaches production of over 1 million
- 5:20units per year, he believes each robot
- 5:22could cost around $20,000 to build. If
- 5:25achieved, that number would mark a real
- 5:27revolution in robotics and automation.
- 5:31At that cost, Optimus could become a
- 5:33companion in every home and business,
- 5:35serving in roles from industrial labor
- 5:37and health care to hospitality, and even
- 5:39assistance for the elderly or disabled.
- 5:42Musk also announced Tesla's most
- 5:44ambitious production target yet. A line
- 5:47capable of building 1 million robots per
- 5:49year in Fremont, then 10 million, 100
- 5:52million, and eventually a billion robots
- 5:55a year, maybe even on Mars. It might
- 5:58sound like a joke, but Musk made it
- 5:59clear he wasn't exaggerating.
- 6:02Tesla is preparing for the fastest
- 6:04production ramp of any large complex
- 6:06manufactured product in history. Still,
- 6:09Musk is no dreamer detached from
- 6:10reality.
- 6:11He admitted that reaching such scale
- 6:13requires Tesla to build its own massive
- 6:15chip plant. We're probably going to have
- 6:18to build a gigantic chip fab. Got to be
- 6:20done. With millions of robots and
- 6:23self-driving vehicles depending on high
- 6:25performance processors, Tesla cannot
- 6:28rely on external suppliers. This move
- 6:30signals Musk's intention to make Tesla a
- 6:33serious player in the semiconductor and
- 6:35AI industries. In the same speech, Musk
- 6:37redefined Tesla's mission from
- 6:39sustainable energy to sustainable
- 6:41abundance. The new goal, he said, is not
- 6:44only to deliver clean energy, but also
- 6:46to enable lasting prosperity. People can
- 6:49have everything they want, from goods
- 6:51and services to health care while
- 6:53preserving the beauty of nature. With
- 6:55Optimus, Tesla envisions a future where
- 6:58humans are freed from exhausting labor
- 7:00and robots help sustain the economy
- 7:02without destroying the planet. Half-
- 7:04jokingly, Musk added that instead of
- 7:06sending criminals to prison, society
- 7:08could give them a free Optimus robot to
- 7:10watch and prevent them from committing
- 7:12crimes.
- 7:14Behind the humor lies his view of future
- 7:16security, humane, techdriven, and free
- 7:19from imprisonment. While many investors
- 7:22remain skeptical, Musk insisted this is
- 7:24no fantasy. Tesla, he said, is already
- 7:27building real robots that can walk
- 7:29around the office 24/7, recharge
- 7:31themselves, and operate autonomously
- 7:34without supervision.
- 7:36This is no longer a stage demo. It's
- 7:38proof that mass production is within
- 7:40reach. With AI and robotics, Musk
- 7:43believes we can scale the global economy
- 7:46by 10fold, even 100fold. A vision
- 7:49powerful enough to upend every
- 7:50traditional economic model. But along
- 7:53with that promise come immense
- 7:54challenges. Mass producing millions of
- 7:56robots demands vast supply chains,
- 7:58components, software, cyber security,
- 8:00and cost control.
- 8:03A robot might one day replace a doctor,
- 8:05but it could also raise debates about
- 8:07ethics, privacy, and employment. Tesla
- 8:10must prove that this technology is safe,
- 8:12transparent, and built to serve
- 8:14humanity, not replace it. Even so, few
- 8:18can deny the influence of Elon Musk, the
- 8:22man who can make the world believe that
- 8:23the future of humankind might begin at a
- 8:25shareholder meeting. Okay, you know that
- 8:28means Tesla must create nearly every key
- 8:30component inhouse from actuators to
- 8:32control systems, pushing vertical
- 8:34integration to unprecedented levels.
- 8:36It's a massive undertaking, one that
- 8:38only a company with Tesla's scale and
- 8:40manufacturing expertise could
- 8:41realistically attempt. Beyond the
- 8:43challenges of engineering and mass
- 8:45production, one of the biggest issues
- 8:46Tesla faces in developing Optimus is
- 8:49ensuring the robot's absolute safety.
- 8:52Elon Musk has repeatedly warned about
- 8:54this concern.
- 8:55>> I think we have to be careful about
- 8:56Optimus being potentially uh used uh in
- 8:59ways that are bad uh cuz that is one of
- 9:03the possible things to do. So
- 9:06>> yeah, we all know that Optimus isn't
- 9:09just a simple machine. It's a humanoid
- 9:11AI system capable of perception,
- 9:13movement, and interaction within human
- 9:15environments. That makes it an extremely
- 9:17sensitive target in today's increasingly
- 9:19complex global cyber security landscape.
- 9:22If the control systems, sensor data, or
- 9:24decision-making algorithms of Optimus
- 9:26were ever leaked or hacked, the
- 9:28consequences wouldn't just be physical
- 9:29damage, they could pose a direct threat
- 9:31to human safety. Imagine thousands of
- 9:34Optimus robots operating in factories,
- 9:38hospitals, or even homes. A single
- 9:40software vulnerability could allow
- 9:42hackers to take control and turn them
- 9:44into tools for disruption or harm. For
- 9:47instance, you might ask it to fetch
- 9:49medicine, but it could hand you the
- 9:50wrong one due to a compromised command.
- 9:53That's why Elon Musk and the Tesla team
- 9:55are building a multi-layered security
- 9:56ecosystem, including data encryption,
- 9:59real-time monitoring, AI firewalls, and
- 10:02automatic safety lock mechanisms that
- 10:04activate whenever abnormal behavior is
- 10:06detected. Tesla has stated that it will
- 10:08develop secure remote control protocols,
- 10:10allowing humans to intervene immediately
- 10:12if a robot ever acts beyond its
- 10:15permitted boundaries. However, what's
- 10:17truly noteworthy is that unlike electric
- 10:19vehicles or standard software, a
- 10:21humanoid robot can learn and self-
- 10:22adjust its behavior through machine
- 10:24learning. This makes it extremely
- 10:26challenging to ensure that Optimus
- 10:28doesn't learn the wrong things or get
- 10:30tampered with during its training
- 10:32process. Every advancement in the
- 10:34robot's cognitive abilities also means
- 10:36an increase in security risks, which is
- 10:38why Tesla must tightly integrate
- 10:40artificial intelligence, tech ethics,
- 10:42and cyber security. In short, Elon Musk
- 10:45has emphasized that the Tesla bot must
- 10:47be completely safe before it's made
- 10:49available to the public.
- 10:50>> Of course, we need make sure Optimus is
- 10:52safe and everything, but but I I do
- 10:55think we're headed for a world of
- 10:57sustainable abundance.
- 10:58>> Right now, Tesla's focus remains on
- 11:00something far more practical, household
- 11:02chores. This stage of development might
- 11:04seem modest compared to the robot's
- 11:06long-term ambitions in factories or even
- 11:08Mars colonies, but it's a crucial first
- 11:10step. Elon Musk understands that for the
- 11:13public to truly accept humanoid robots,
- 11:15Optimus must first prove itself useful
- 11:17in daily life. A robot that can tidy the
- 11:19living room, fold laundry, or prepare a
- 11:22simple meal will have a much easier time
- 11:24earning the trust and curiosity of
- 11:26customers than one performing complex
- 11:28industrial tasks that feel distant from
- 11:31everyday reality. For decades, when
- 11:33people imagined robots and artificial
- 11:35intelligence, the images came straight
- 11:37out of science fiction. gleaming
- 11:39androids from movies like I robot
- 11:42walking, talking, and serving breakfast
- 11:44in futuristic kitchens. But in the real
- 11:46world, that dream felt impossibly far
- 11:49away. The idea of a machine casually
- 11:51standing in your kitchen, making a
- 11:53sandwich, or reaching into the fridge
- 11:55for a drink seemed almost absurd. After
- 11:58all, cooking and cleaning aren't just
- 12:00about strength. They require finesse,
- 12:02adaptability, and the delicate control
- 12:04of human hands. things that even the
- 12:07most advanced machines have long
- 12:08struggled to replicate. That's where the
- 12:10Tesla bot Gen 3 breaks new ground. Tesla
- 12:13has designed Optimus with a level of
- 12:14anatomical precision that borders on
- 12:16human. The human hand with its 27 joints
- 12:19and intricate network of tendons and
- 12:21muscles is capable of both strength and
- 12:23subtlety. From holding a heavy pan to
- 12:26threading a tiny needle. To mimic this,
- 12:28Tesla has engineered dozens of miniature
- 12:30actuators inside each robotic hand,
- 12:33allowing for up to 22 degrees of
- 12:35freedom. In simple terms, this means
- 12:37each finger can move, bend, and react
- 12:40almost like a real one. It's not just
- 12:42engineering, it's biomechanics brought
- 12:44to life. And while the day Optimus
- 12:46casually flips pancakes in your kitchen
- 12:48may still be a few years away, the
- 12:50technology being developed today is what
- 12:52will make that once impossible scene a
- 12:54reality. It's precisely because of this
- 12:56highly sophisticated hand design that
- 12:58Optimus can perform delicate tasks that
- 13:00once seemed impossible for robots. It
- 13:03can gently cradle an egg without
- 13:05breaking it, slice a tomato into paper
- 13:07thin pieces without crushing it, and
- 13:09spread mayonnaise with just the right
- 13:10amount of pressure, a level of control
- 13:12that blurs the line between machine and
- 13:14human. Most robotics companies like
- 13:16Unitry or Boston Dynamics have mastered
- 13:18agility. Their robots can run, jump, or
- 13:20even dance, but they still can't peel an
- 13:23orange. The difference lies not in
- 13:25strength, but in fine motor control and
- 13:27cognitive understanding, areas where
- 13:29Tesla has taken the lead. Optimus
- 13:32doesn't just see the world. It perceives
- 13:34and understands it. Using an advanced
- 13:37network of cameras and 3D sensors, it
- 13:40can recognize objects in the kitchen not
- 13:42just by shape, but by function. Through
- 13:44intensive training by Tesla engineers,
- 13:47the robot learns that a knife is used
- 13:48for cutting, a jar holds sauces, and a
- 13:51pan is for cooking. This information is
- 13:53stored and processed within Optimus'
- 13:55central AI brain, which allows it to
- 13:57make real-time decisions and execute
- 13:59each step with remarkable precision.
- 14:03Every movement, from reaching for a
- 14:06utensil to turning on a stove, is the
- 14:08result of millions of micro calculations
- 14:10happening in fractions of a second. For
- 14:13over a year now, Optimus has been
- 14:15training 16 hours a day at Tesla's
- 14:17research facility in PaloAlto,
- 14:19California. What makes this process
- 14:22revolutionary is how it learns. Instead
- 14:25of being programmed line by line like
- 14:26traditional robots, Optimus learns
- 14:29autonomously through a sim to real
- 14:31method. The same way humans learn
- 14:33through observation and practice. It can
- 14:35watch tutorial videos, observe a human
- 14:37making a sandwich or cleaning a table
- 14:39and then simulate the process in a
- 14:41virtual environment. Within that
- 14:43simulation, it makes mistakes, analyzes
- 14:46them, and gradually improves until it
- 14:48achieves nearperfect performance.
- 14:50This continuous learning loop allows
- 14:52Optimus Gen 3 to master new tasks every
- 14:55single day, whether it's preparing
- 14:57breakfast, setting the table, or
- 14:59organizing a messy kitchen. According to
- 15:01Elon Musk, the next version of Optimus
- 15:03will feature major hardware and mobility
- 15:05upgrades, giving it faster reflexes,
- 15:07more natural walking movements, and
- 15:09better balance across uneven terrain.
- 15:12While today's prototype still moves
- 15:13cautiously, Musk promises that by the
- 15:15time Optimus is ready for commercial
- 15:17release, it will walk, move, and react
- 15:19like a human. And most impressively, it
- 15:21will almost never fall down. Optimus
- 15:24isn't just a robot that follows spoken
- 15:26commands. It's designed to understand
- 15:28humans on a deeper, more intuitive
- 15:29level. Thanks to its advanced perception
- 15:32systems, it can interpret not only voice
- 15:34instructions, but also facial
- 15:35expressions and body language. Imagine
- 15:38standing in your kitchen after dinner.
- 15:40You don't even need to say a word. A
- 15:42simple glance toward a pile of dirty
- 15:44dishes or a quick point of your finger
- 15:46is enough for Optimus to recognize what
- 15:48you want. Within seconds, it will calmly
- 15:50approach the sink, roll up its digital
- 15:52sleeves, and start cleaning. This
- 15:54ability to read non-verbal cues makes
- 15:56interaction with Optimus feel far more
- 15:58natural, almost like communicating with
- 16:00another person rather than a machine.
- 16:03The secret behind this lies in the AI5
- 16:06cognitive system that powers the Tesla
- 16:08bot Gen 3. This next generation neural
- 16:11architecture allows Optimus to build its
- 16:13own navigation maps and adapt
- 16:15dynamically to different home
- 16:16environments. Every house is unique.
- 16:19From narrow hallways and uneven floors
- 16:21to cluttered living rooms and playful
- 16:23pets darting around using its onboard
- 16:25cameras, depth sensors, and real-time
- 16:27processing unit, Optimus constantly
- 16:29scans its surroundings, creating a
- 16:31three-dimensional layout of the home. It
- 16:33remembers where the furniture is, knows
- 16:35which rooms are connected, and can move
- 16:37effortlessly between them without
- 16:38bumping into anything. Even more
- 16:40impressively, Optimus' AI system is
- 16:42contextaware.
- 16:44It can distinguish between a chair and a
- 16:46sleeping pet, a dropped toy and a power
- 16:48cord, and adjust its movements
- 16:50accordingly. If a child suddenly runs
- 16:52across the room or a dog wags its tail
- 16:54near its feet, Optimus instantly
- 16:56recalculates its path, maintaining both
- 16:59safety and efficiency. This situational
- 17:02intelligence represents a leap forward
- 17:04from earlier robots that relied on rigid
- 17:06pre-programmed routes. Instead of merely
- 17:08following commands, Optimus interprets
- 17:11intentions, combining human cues,
- 17:13environmental data, and predictive
- 17:15reasoning to act with precision and
- 17:17empathy. It's not just automation. It's
- 17:20the beginning of true coexistence
- 17:22between humans and intelligent machines
- 17:24in everyday life. What do you think
- 17:26about Elon Musk's ambition with Tesla
- 17:28bot and Tesla shareholder meeting? What
