Overview

• A 36‑second clip shows the humanoid mirroring a Kung Fu trainer in real time, keeping balance, absorbing a shove, and recovering with a small hop.
• Musk told users the movements were “driven by AI, not tele‑operated,” contrasting with earlier tele‑op demonstrations such as the popcorn‑serving video.
• Coverage noted the sequence did not showcase fine finger use or higher‑degree‑of‑freedom hands, and questioned whether the behavior is generalized learning or a rehearsed routine.
• Tesla continues to pitch Optimus as a key growth pillar, with stated targets of 5,000 units in 2025 and an aspirational one‑million annual run rate by 2030.
• Separately, Musk suggested the robot could potentially use Tesla’s Full Self‑Driving dataset to operate non‑Tesla cars, characterizing the idea as probably feasible.
