So glad you brought up the idea of Optimus possibly walking upright without the bent knees. You're absolutely right that it may not serve a useful enough purpose. But I guarantee that for the average person who doesn't follow this everyday, seeing a robot do that will be a profound moment.

Optimus 2 is an elegant robot and everyone I know who's seen it said it left a lasting impression.

Having one fully move as we do will elicit a visceral and emotional reaction that no amount of marketing can come close to.

If that's the only thing such an ability accomplishes, it will be worth it.

Face to face discussion works far better than separate remote studios.
Maybe Musk has a point about work from home?
Might be why he needed to sleep on factory floor, not just phone in …

One of the most fascinating things about the Giga-Factory (and some other factories too) is the degree of computer control and synchronization. All those displays everywhere are just human interfaces. The real I/O must be the whole factory network, including Tesla One (isn't that the name of the factory controller?). That alone is a tremendous asset for Tesla and a home-grown differentiator very hard for most other companies to match. I would very much appreciate an entire video on this alone (from John and Scott or Connecting the Dots or The Limiting Factor, etc. - maybe sort of like a CSI Starbase deep dive).

If I remember right, in Sandy Monroes post Cybertruck reveal interview, I thought there was an option for 10 degree in the rear steering as a maximum.

19:12 Interesting comparing LLMs that predict the next word from text training on Internet prose to the amount of visual information (and tactical and audible, etc) that a child of 4 years old has experienced. The latter is vast compared to the former. But that reminds me of the work Tesla and others are doing to train networks to predict the content of future visual frames, based on recently experienced past sequences of visual frames. They certainly have the data for that for cars and huge amounts of real-world human purposeful video action on the Internet. This, of course, is what humans do; imagine what is likely or should happen next and select a plan (or plans) to deal with that accordingly.

Muskegon and western Michigan have some of the most beautiful beaches in the country! I hope you were able to enjoy your stay!

26:10 - I did NOT know that Leonard Nimoy could not do that. I do know that his mother – on the show – could not do it; she had to put both hands behind her back with camera on close up of her face, and used one hand to separate the fingers on the other, before presenting the Vulcan greeting.

It was fun to watch you guys. You both were so excited about the possibilities of this bot you were hardly able to get the words out fast enough. Ha Ha Ha Boy! these are amazing times. At the age of 78 I am glad I was able the live long enough to see these advancements actually happen. I am super glad that Elon is on our side and that his mind is concentrating on "peaceful improvements that will benefit all of mankind".

God Bless Elon Musk. I tell people all the time that he is the smartest guy on the planet. Then they give me that "i don't know about that look". Then I ask them who they think the smartest guy on the planet is and they stutter with no answer. His ability to create a vision and actually actually turn that vision into reality is truly amazing. The other amazing thing is his ability to attract SMART people to come and WORK WITH HIM.😊

If optimus doesn't change it will leave lots of room for nitch manufacturing by others, either as a competitor bot, or as a aftermarket parts, assembly, accessory maker for optimus.
The secret will be to make sure your nitch isn't too small. I was thinking of the standing two wheeled Boston dynamics bot. Something where smooth high-speed transport is highly prized. There could be enough demand for a trait like that to be viable.

I know that my voting from Australia was not submitted by my share trading platform until the closing time. I could edit selections right up until the last minute. Which is probably why there was a large up tick in votes at the end.

[RussInGA]

can we do a shareholders proposal that will increase the requirements to initiate a shareholders proposal so that you'd at least have to have some significant support to get it on the ballot?

[yesno]

Please, timestamp the talking points, so people can jumpskip to pertinent info.
Thanks 😊

Elon should put 1, 000 bots together find a open field and line up all the Bots and perform some Martial Arts in Sync. Like the Martial Artist that you see in China when everyone do their morning exercise in sync. That would show respect to the Chinese people who's culture is to perform Marital Arts in Sync with many Martial Artist.

37:23 - not robots, but aliens – I think it’s the movie “Cowboys and aliens” had arms coming out of the aliens’ midsection.

I remember my dad describing the first car he ever saw. He was born in the early 1900s.

[MintedCuban]

Muskegon, MI is gross. I used to work out there

[nickmcconnell]

Uh with the thumbnail you had I thought you might talk about financials that Elon spoke of? Guess not.

[steventaylor]

I wonder if they will try bot arms and legs on people with nerolink?

[jacksmith]

Tesla does not have the advantage in Optimus that they have in FSD. There is nothing corresponding to the enormous video data available to train FSD. That is why they decline to count their Optimus chickens before they are hatched. Elon quotes other peoples' projections rather than offer his own. Most discussion of Optimus is arround hardware not software. Am I missing something?

[datamatters]

I wonder how well optimus will walk up and down hills and what's the max incline? Some side walks and driveways can be pretty steep. Will it be able to walk in sand on a beach or a golf course?
