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（納斯達克股票代碼：TSLA）的人形機器人Optimus即將進行一次設計更新，公司 CEO 馬斯克在週三發表的言論中透露這將是一次“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.
發生了什麼：馬斯克在 X 上寫道：“新的 Optimus 設計將於今年晚些時候完成，這是一次特別的設計。”

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.
特斯拉目前正在尋求在今年年底或明年初爲 Optimus 進行一次“重大的硬件更新”，隨後將開始限量生產機器人並部署在其工廠中以測試其能力，馬斯克在特斯拉的年度股東大會上表示。
"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.
“但我認爲，像明年這樣，我的預測是我們將在特斯拉擁有超過 1,000 或幾千個 Optimus 機器人在運作。”馬斯克隨後補充道。
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.
馬斯克在六月初確認，在特斯拉的弗裏蒙特工廠已經有兩個 Optimus 機器人，它們從生產線末端拿起電池並將其放入容器中。
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.
爲什麼重要：馬斯克當前正嘗試讓特斯拉成爲一個機器人、人工智能以及可持續能源公司，以及一家增大力度擴展到多個領域，如機器人、儲能和自動駕駛的汽車製造商。
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東大會上，馬斯克表示未來每個人都將擁有至少一個人形機器人，這意味着至少會有一百億個或更多的人形機器人，其中 EV 公司將佔重要份額。
"While autonomous vehicle is a $5-$7 trillion market cap situation, Optimus is a $25 trillion market cap situation," Musk then said.
“雖然自動駕駛汽車是一個市值五至七萬億美元的市場，Optimus 是一個市值 25 萬億美元的市場，”馬斯克隨後說道。
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 達到高產能，馬斯克預計能夠以 10,000 或 20,000 美元的低價格銷售機器人，價格低於特斯拉最便宜的 Model 3轎車。
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年推出了它的人型機器人，最初的目標是處理不安全、重複或乏味的任務。然而，馬斯克上個月表示，Optimus 也可以作爲伴侶，可以爲孩子們當保姆或在工廠中做家務。
