Building on his announcement the previous day at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Elon Musk specified Tesla aims to sell Optimus humanoid robots to consumers by late 2026, subject to safety and reliability validation. With robots advancing in factories and leveraging Tesla's AI, this pivot underscores diversification as EV sales decline.
Nvidia's GTC event at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center featured demonstrations of several robots, including those from IntBot, Humanoid, and Noble Machines. Attendees interacted with AI-powered bots providing directions and fetching items via fleet control. The displays illustrated potential advancements in robotics, as predicted by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.

Following BYD's overtake as the world's top EV seller, Tesla has lost its leading position in Europe and China amid fierce competition and aging models. The company is dealing with key executive departures and has appointed a new global sales head, while pivoting to AI, robotics, and energy—including a Cybertruck vehicle-to-grid pilot in Texas.
