Tesla

At the 2026 ScaledML Conference, Tesla’s VP of AI Software detailed the company’s end-to-end autonomy strategy, revealing how driverless taxis in Austin and humanoid robots in Fremont share a single generative "world simulator."

Elon Musk describes the recursive "supernova" of humanoid robotics, the necessity of orbital AI data centers, and the development of "Terafabs" to overcome Earth’s hardware bottlenecks.

During Tesla’s Q4 2025 earnings call, Elon Musk announced the end of the Model S and X programs, pivoting the company toward a massive $20 billion capital expenditure year focused on humanoid production and "amazing abundance."

Tesla’s Q4 2025 shareholder deck marks a historic shift for the company, officially including the Optimus production line in its manufacturing capacity table for the first time as the 'Gen 3' mass-production prototype nears its Q1 reveal.

In a major industry shift, Milan Kovac—the engineer who helped birth Tesla’s Optimus—has moved to Boston Dynamics. The hire signals a decisive pivot for Hyundai’s robotics firm as it transitions from viral research to industrial scale.
