Tesla CEO Elon Musk Teases New Optimus Design, Says It Is 'Something Special'
The upcoming design revision of Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:TSLA) humanoid robot Optimus will be "special," company CEO Elon Musk teased on Wednesday.
特斯拉公司（纳斯达克股票代码：TSLA）的人形机器人Optimus即将进行一次设计更新，公司 CEO 马斯克在周三发表的言论中透露这将是一次“特殊”更新。
What Happened: "The new Optimus design, which will be complete later this year, is something special," Musk wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
发生了什么：马斯克在 X 上写道：“新的 Optimus 设计将于今年晚些时候完成，这是一次特别的设计。”

Tesla is currently looking to make a "major hardware revision" for Optimus by the end of this year or early next year, following which it will commence limited production of the robot to deploy in its factories and test its capabilities, Musk said at Tesla's annual shareholder meeting last month.
特斯拉目前正在寻求在今年年底或明年初为 Optimus 进行一次“重大的硬件更新”，随后将开始限量生产机器人并部署在其工厂中以测试其能力，马斯克在特斯拉的年度股东大会上表示。
"But I think like next year, my prediction is next year we'll have over 1,000, maybe a few thousand, Optimus robots working at Tesla," Musk then added.
“但我认为，像明年这样，我的预测是我们将在特斯拉拥有超过 1,000 或几千个 Optimus 机器人在运作。”马斯克随后补充道。
Two Optimus bots are already employed in Tesla's Fremont factory, taking cells off the end of the production line and placing them in containers, Musk confirmed in early June.
马斯克在六月初确认，在特斯拉的弗里蒙特工厂已经有两个 Optimus 机器人，它们从生产线末端拿起电池并将其放入容器中。
Why It Matters: Musk is currently attempting to make Tesla a robotics, AI, and sustainable energy company in addition to an automaker with an increased push toward diverse fields such as robotics, energy storage, and autonomous driving.
为什么重要：马斯克当前正尝试让特斯拉成为一个机器人、人工智能以及可持续能源公司，以及一家增大力度扩展到多个领域，如机器人、储能和自动驾驶的汽车制造商。
During Tesla's annual shareholder meeting in June, Musk said that there will be at least one humanoid robot for every person in the world in the future, implying a total humanoid robot population of at least 10 billion or more, of which the EV company will have a significant share.
在特斯拉的六月份股东大会上，马斯克表示未来每个人都将拥有至少一个人形机器人，这意味着至少会有一百亿个或更多的人形机器人，其中 EV 公司将占重要份额。
"While autonomous vehicle is a $5-$7 trillion market cap situation, Optimus is a $25 trillion market cap situation," Musk then said.
“虽然自动驾驶汽车是一个市值五至七万亿美元的市场，Optimus 是一个市值 25 万亿美元的市场，”马斯克随后说道。
Musk expects to be able to sell Optimus at $10,000 or $20,000, at a lower price point than Tesla's cheapest Model 3 sedan, once it reaches high-volume production.
一旦 Optimus 达到高产能，马斯克预计能够以 10,000 或 20,000 美元的低价格销售机器人，价格低于特斯拉最便宜的 Model 3轿车。
Tesla introduced its humanoid bot in 2021 with the initial goal of handling unsafe, repetitive, or tedious tasks. However, Musk said last month that the Optimus can also serve as a companion, serve as a babysitter for children, or do chores at factories.
特斯拉在2021年推出了它的人型机器人，最初的目标是处理不安全、重复或乏味的任务。然而，马斯克上个月表示，Optimus 也可以作为伴侣，可以为孩子们当保姆或在工厂中做家务。
