Optimus was first introduced during Tesla’s AI Day in 2021, where the concept was represented by a mockup — and even a person in a robot suit.

By October 2024, dozens of Optimus units were already engaging with guests at the Cybercab launch event, showcasing the robot’s swift and impressive evolution.
