Tesla's internal plan called for roughly 10,000 Optimus robots in 2025. He said probably not exactly 10,000, but several thousand doing useful things in Tesla factories by year end.

Why it is marked missed

Missed. Asked on the Q4 2025 call in January 2026 how many Optimus robots were working in Tesla factories, he gave no number. He said Optimus was “still in the R&D phase,” had done “some basic tasks in the factory,” and was not in use there “in a material way.”
