The most impressive thing was the perception view of the robot completing tasks imo.I'm curious - we're folks here impressed with the physical demo at the beginning of the presentation?
I'm personally surprised the demo was about the Bot walking. There is nothing really novel shown so far.
Most factory workers are $50,000 a year. HR and tax overhead are a lot for a small company but not for a big one. 20-40% more for that.Thinking of it as a labor replacement... we value people (including all costs of employing someone) at $250k/year. Imagine Optimus can only work at half the speed of a human... but its working 24 hours. Give it a 5 year life, and you're talking about 1.5 times the labor at only $4k/year. That's 93x the value of employing a human.
That's crazy.

We literally just went through an global pandemic where the Optimus robot could have continued to run factories and would have avoided this entire supply shortage driven inflation riseWhat problem are we solving tho? People and machinery can already run factories. If anything, this just creates the problem of another idle citizen needing support.
The primary goals of all Elon's efforts are obviously Mars-based. This thing will make great semi autonomous explorer landing on Mars to setup Boring rigs, building human shelter and other infrastructure.
I don't see the Earth based purposes.
He's already aware that haters will opine that the robots are controlled by one person. We already regularly read that Tesla is "Elon Musk's company" etc.“The public owns Tesla and the public decides…” hmmmm…. Interesting statements by Elon
Then you haven't listened to Elon, as well as not having any imagination.I don't see the Earth based purposes.
From the start I was impressed. They are much further along than I expected. I was not expecting a product within five years. Now maybe something in two or three?Underwhelming start, but getting more impressive by the minute....
Reducing the cost of labor reduces the cost of living.What problem are we solving tho? People and machinery can already run factories. If anything, this just creates the problem of another idle citizen needing support.
