What the video says
Could humanoid robots finally be ready to take over our factory floors? A monumental new report from Nomura reveals that Tesla is shifting its flagship Optimus Gen 3 into full-scale production.
The transition marks a watershed moment for global manufacturing velocity. Analysts report that Tesla adjusted its annualized capacity target for the Fremont facility upward to roughly 70,000 units.
By 2028, Tesla intends to build an additional 70,000 units of capacity in Austin. This expansion drives towards an industry-defining long-term target of 1.5 million units.
Meanwhile, global competition is heating up fast as Nvidia funds rivals like Unitree, and OpenAI launches a dedicated robotics unit. Nomura expects these massive moves to maintain strong momentum for the entire robotics trade through the summer.
