Elon Musk announced! Tesla will now focus on developing robots rather than cars

In a Tesla corporate statement last Wednesday (January 26, 2022), despite the crisis of the past year (supply chain disruption), Tesla's performance exceeded expectations, and revenue and profit growth were good.

But Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that there won't be a new model this year, meaning trucks like Cybertruck will certainly be delayed as the company suffers from a shortage of production equipment.

But interestingly, the statement also includes talking about interesting things like "humanoid robots" or robots based on human design.

"This will be the most important product Tesla is developing at this time," Elon Musk said.

The company will prioritize the development of such robots over Cyberteruck or other vehicles such as semi-electric trucks and new electric sports cars.

Elon Musk also said that "I think it (robots) is more dignified than the automotive business and more important for the future."

Elon Musk, which he calls Tesla Bot or optimus, is a robot tesla has been developing for years, and earlier Elon Mask first talked about it at Tesla's ARTIFICIAL Day last August and showed off its characteristics of stock such an airplane, giving people a set of robots

By Elon Musk, he is said to reveal a prototype robot model or prototype of this Optimus Prime model in 2022

Tesla's intention in developing humanoid robots is to replace humanoid robots, such as dangerous work or repetitive work.

Announcements that include new technological developments are also exciting for employees, customers and even investors, although Tesla has often been unable to innovate or produce products during its formative years.

For example, Elon Musk has announced that there will be Robotaxis (driverless taxis) on the road in 2020 or 2 years ago, but this is not possible now.

Like this humanoid robot, no matter how seriously Tesla focuses on development projects, Elon Musk also says that "success may take years, and it may never be possible." ′′
