United States
Over 1,000 Optimus units operated on Tesla's Fremont line by January 2026, though Musk conceded they were 'primarily for learning'; V3 production starts late July-August 2026 on a line sized for 1M units/year, with outside sales not before end-2027.

EMEA relevanceTesla's Optimus program defines the cost-down, vertical-integration playbook European automakers and their suppliers are reacting to. Its choice to reuse the FSD AI stack and gigafactory methods pressures Europe's OEM ecosystem to answer with its own humanoid sourcing strategies.
