"Eventually, and even now, the focus has been on real-world AI and Robotics, both through the Full Self-Driving and autonomy projects that Tesla has been working on, as well as the Optimus program, which is what Calacanis believes will be the big disruptor of the company's automotive division. On the All-In podcast, Calacanis revealed he had visited Tesla's Optimus lab earlier this month, where he was able to review the Optimus Gen 3 prototype and watch teams of engineers chip away at developing what CEO Elon Musk has said will be the big product that will drive the company even further into the next few decades."
"Nobody will remember that Tesla ever made a car. They will only remember the Optimus."
"Optimus will be the biggest product of all-time by far. Nothing will even be close. I think it'll be 10 times bigger than the next biggest product ever made."
Tesla's historical identity as an automaker is shifting toward AI and robotics, led by Full Self-Driving, autonomy work, and the Optimus humanoid program. Optimus development has reached Gen 3 prototypes with engineering teams actively advancing hardware and software to achieve scalable production and real-world capabilities. Industry observers predict Optimus could eclipse vehicle recognition of Tesla and be produced in extremely large volumes. Elon Musk has characterized Optimus as potentially the largest product ever made, and proponents foresee the robot driving Tesla's strategic focus and long-term market prominence beyond its automotive origins.
