One would think that such a robot would be quite expensive.

However, according to Musk, Tesla envisions the long-term price for the robot falling between $20,000 and $30,000.

“The Optimus will walk amongst you,” said Musk during the event.

Soon enough the robots descended to the show floor and served drinks to the audience.

Elon Musk also bragged about how the Optimus robot could do anything, emphasizing the robot’s versatility.

However, he also made some wild claims like Tesla eventually manufacturing millions of units.

“I think everyone among the eight billion people on Earth will want an Optimus buddy,” says Musk.

It is quite a far stretch as far as predictions go, but the robot will certainly make quite an impact on Tesla’s growth.

During the event, the robots were also seen playing a game of rock-paper-scissors with attendees
