Musk Plans a School for 10,000 Optimus Robots

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the company plans to build a school for 10,000 Optimus robots to support their AI training. He discussed the plan during Tesla’s third-quarter earnings call.

Musk also said it could take Tesla longer than a year to reach its target of producing one million Optimus units per year. The source reports no more detail on how the school would operate.

On Terafab, Tesla’s chip manufacturing project, Musk said it would probably rank among the world’s top 20 countries by economic value. The source summary gives differing production timelines: it says Terafab should enter early volume production in Q3 2028, then says the project is aiming for early volume production in Q2 2028. It also says machinery is set to be commissioned in 2027.
