Elon Musk says ‘genuinely useful’ Tesla bots are coming soon.

What he means by that exactly is anyone’s guess. Will they be helping to build vehicles? Is Optimus being ditched as it wasn’t name-dropped? We might find out next year, though Musk has previously admitted these timelines are mostly guesswork.

It’s not like Tesla has stuck to its Robotaxi reveal dates yet.
