TESLA is ramping up its plans to build an army of humanoid robots.
According to Reuters, Elon Musk's firm wants to deploy thousands of the androids, known as Tesla Bot or Optimus, within its factories....
Longer term, Musk said at a TED Talk robots could be used in homes, making dinner, mowing the lawn and caring for elderly people.
Party on, Wayne!
‘cheaper than a car’
Anyone seen the price of a new car these days?
Better yet, a new full size truck?
LMAO.
We looked at new trucks last weekend.
They are all in the $50-100k+ ranges.
My house costed $69k...............
Does it pick up dog poop ??? That would be helpful.
Will it shoot trespassers and pesky IRS agents?
If it will do all the honey do projects around here I go get a loan.
I really don’t have much in the way of onerous, repetitive, or dangerous tasks left since I retired. Struggling to get enough exercise as it is. Dropping that kind of cash for a droid sex partner only to find out it’s having an affair with the blender isn’t happening, either.
You’re dealing with Musk...he would turn it into “something”...tires, bumpers for his cars etc etc
I didn’t really appreciate the genius of the Japanese making robots ... until I realized there was a severe shortage of young women in China.
I saw this movie already.
Wir sind die Roboter!
2095, 2095, 2095, 2095...
I drive the very latest hovercar
I don’t know where you are
But I miss you so much ‘til then
I met someone who looks a lot like you
She does the things you do
But she is an IBM
She’s only programmed to be very nice
But she’s as cold as ice
Whenever I get too near
She tells me that she likes me very much
But when I try to touch
She makes it all too clear
She is the latest in technology
Almost mythology
But she has a heart of stone
She has an IQ of 1001
She has a jumpsuit on
And she’s also a telephone
I’d rather have a robot take care of me in my dotage than some graduate of a math & science academy in a strip mall.
Thats ok, you can still have the cheap version...
Ford F150 starts @ $60k with accessories, 80k.
I bought a new 2018 Infiniti Q 50 for $52k.
Checked the pricing last week. I won’t be buying a new Q50 anytime soon.

Thanks, but I'll wait for the Optimus Prime model.
