Tesla Optimus has released the V3 version of its mass production roadmap, with a running video showcasing a technological leap
As early as the shareholders' meeting in November 2025, Tesla disclosed that the Optimus trial production line had been launched at the Fremont factory. The running video released this time directly demonstrated the technological breakthroughs of the V3 version: The robot can not only perform stable jogging but also perform complex actions such as turning and changing gears. Its limb coordination has improved by more than 60% compared to the previous version. The team claims that its sports performance "has broken the personal record of the industry". In terms of hardware, the V3 version adopts a "human-like wearable" design, with a lighter and more bionic shell material. The internal computing power chip has been upgraded to 256TOPS, which can support multi-modal perception and autonomous decision-making.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk stated that the Optimus V3 will be prioritized for use in processes such as component transportation and equipment assembly at Tesla's factories. The V4 version will be launched in 2027, and the V5 version will be implemented in 2028. In the future, it will gradually expand to scenarios such as home services and commercial retail. Industry analysis indicates that Optimus' large-scale mass production plan is expected to reshape the labor structure of the global manufacturing and service industries.
