Overview, buying status, and research notes

What it isTesla Optimus is a humanoid from Tesla. Tesla general-purpose humanoid robot program. Our review focuses on what is published today: size, payload, runtime, mobility, software access, safety claims, and whether buyers can actually purchase or deploy it.
Availability and pricingTesla Optimus is currently listed as prototype/development; not publicly available for purchase. Pricing is Not publicly sold; Tesla has discussed a sub-$20,000 long-term target. That buying status matters because a preorder, pilot, enterprise quote, prototype, or discontinued model means very different things for buyers.
Best fitBased on its published specs and positioning, Tesla Optimus is most relevant for manufacturing, general purpose. It should be evaluated as a practical robot for the intended job, not only as a brand name or demo video.
What to watchPublic specifications can change as the manufacturer releases new details. Verify release timing, purchase availability, safety claims, autonomy level, SDK or ROS access, payload, runtime, battery details, sensors, hand design, actuator details, walking speed, and stable manufacturer measurements.
Comparable robotsA useful comparison set for Tesla Optimus includes Figure 02, Unitree G1, Apollo, Digit, NEO, Phoenix, Walker S, GR-2, Unitree H2. Compare price, availability, height, weight, payload, runtime, DOF, walking speed, hands, software access, service model, and deployment evidence.
Specs that matterTesla Optimus has 26 documented specification fields available for review. Specification highlights include Price: Not publicly sold; Tesla has discussed a sub-$20,000 long-term target; Availability: prototype/development; not publicly available for purchase; Height: 5 ft 8 in (1730 mm) planned Tesla Bot baseline; variant specs not publicly finalized; Weight: 125 lb (57 kg) planned Tesla Bot baseline; later variants may differ; Payload: 45 lb (20 kg) carrying capacity planned Tesla Bot baseline; Runtime: Not publicly disclosed by Tesla; DOF: 28 reported by secondary listing; Tesla has not published a stable current DOF table; Actuators: 28 actuators minimum (estimated from total DOF). The important question is whether the published capabilities match the actual work: lifting, walking, sensing, manipulating objects, operating safely, and being supported after deployment.
