Tesla's Optimus robot is high-risk and early-stage (research phase, slow launch), offering no near-term financial impact but potential for massive long-term success.

The company that is betting the most boldly on this is Tesla with its Optimus robot. Tesla began building the "Optimus" in its factories this year, and Elon Musk is targeting a price of between $20,000 and $30,000, with plans to eventually produce millions of them annually .
Let me be honest with you, this is the furthest and most risky stage of all . Musk himself says that "Optimus" is still in the research phase, is still learning, and is not yet doing any real productive work .
The initial pace of the launch will be slow. So, this isn't the story of this financial quarter, but if it succeeds, it will be the biggest ever.
