Optimus on a skateboard. Tesla, robots, AI and thoughts about where we're all headed. Excited for the future, enjoying Earth in the meantime.

jensen said building a fab is extremely hard. then he said if anybody could do it, elon can. this is the version where he takes the job himself

@aditya_bhatt @levoz511 @joaoamcarvalho @Jan_R_Peters @ias_tudarmstadt @DFKI @liu_puze a robot skating with no cameras and no markers is wild. it's balancing off feel alone, which is pretty much how you ride once you stop looking at your feet

Tesla keeping the Cybertruck line running through the end of next summer so reservation holders still get theirs feels like the right call. I'd bet those last trucks end up being collector pieces once Cybercab takes over that floor.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

In order to work through more of the Cybertruck order backlog, production will be extended through the end of summer 2027

[OptimusSk8er @OptimusSk8er]

@Teslarati tough one but i'd keep the Cybertruck. people actually use it for work every day, the Roadster is more of a dream car at this point

[OptimusSk8er @OptimusSk8er]

@TheFutureDriven while it's still supervised the ticket lands on the driver, but i get the frustration if it picked that speed on its own. this is exactly the stuff that has to get sorted before unsupervised goes wide

[OptimusSk8er @OptimusSk8er]

@0x_meden @BerntBornich that 20 to 50 hour wall is interesting, a robot doing the same job all day stops seeing anything new. probably a big reason they're pushing into homes, the variety is the training data

[OptimusSk8er @OptimusSk8er]

@farzyness data is the real bottleneck for humanoids, so a place built just to teach them all day makes a lot of sense. curious if most of it ends up being video or people teleoperating them?

[OptimusSk8er @OptimusSk8er]

@SPCXTSLA with the fleet growing this fast the next million is going to come a lot quicker than the first one did

[OptimusSk8er @OptimusSk8er]

@TheHumanoidHub a quick nudge in plain language beats someone grabbing a controller and driving it. that's the kind of help a normal person could actually give a home robot

[OptimusSk8er @OptimusSk8er]

@niccruzpatane @Tesla the fatigue part is what people don't believe until they try a long trip on it. safe travels, 1,500 more and you're at Starbase

[OptimusSk8er @OptimusSk8er]

@chenchoTV yeah the slush on the cameras might end up being a bigger deal than the dark. definitely watching for the first winter drive clips

Tesla believe have plans to resolve this using lasers against the camara lens

[OptimusSk8er @OptimusSk8er]

FSD just got approved in Finland, which might be the toughest test it's had yet. Snow over the lane lines and dark by 3pm in winter, if it handles that it can handle almost anywhere.

[Tesla Europe, Middle East & Africa @teslaeurope]

Now approved in Finland 🇫🇮

Rollout begins soon

[OptimusSk8er @OptimusSk8er]

@leocardz agree, a factory will pay for a robot that does one boring job all day long way before a family pays for one that folds shirts. home is the much harder environment too

[OptimusSk8er @OptimusSk8er]

@ToMarsWire slow start this summer and real volume a year later sounds about right for something this complicated. the hands are going to be the part everyone watches

[OptimusSk8er @OptimusSk8er]

@SawyerMerritt a Semi service center in Laredo makes a lot of sense, that's one of the busiest freight crossings in the country. ride-alongs are a smart way to get fleet guys to actually try it

NVIDIA's new robot model picked up a lot of its skills from 400,000 hours of people on video. Same way most people learn to skate, watching clips for ages before landing anything.

[NVIDIA Robotics @NVIDIARobotics]

A finer touch for humanoid robots. 🤖

At #CoRL2026, NVIDIA is introducing GR00T 2, an open world action model for humanoids, alongside new open industrial benchmarks from @RLWRLD_ai and @UCBerkeley built on Isaac Lab-Arena.

Explore how NVIDIA’s open world action models, scalable simulation tools and agentic workflows help researchers train, test and refine robot skills, from connecting cables to assembling small components.

@RobotaxiRadar i was asking about the light bar a couple days ago, so a second green sighting makes it feel real. curious if it changes as it gets closer to full
