Can you buy it
Factory only
Not for sale. Factory only inside Tesla. Musk has pointed at public sales by the end of 2027 if reliability and safety are high. Price he keeps repeating: $20,000–$30,000 at scale.

IN THEIR WORDS
Dated. Their mouth when we have it. Desk note when the line is a filing.
Price
“I would say probably less than twenty thousand dollars would be my guess.”Tesla AI Day · Sept 30, 2022
The hard part
“It will be immensely difficult to get the cost to $20k. Production volume needs to be above 1M/year for that. Price will be driven by demand, but eventually even price will get to ~$20k.”Elon Musk on X · Nov 26, 2024
The house pitch
“You can have your own personal R2-D2 or C-3PO. It can be a teacher, babysit your children, walk your dog, mow your lawn, get the groceries, be your friend, serve drinks. I think this will be the biggest product ever, of any kind.”We, Robot / personal-robot talks · 2024–2025
When you can buy one
“By the end of next year, I think we’d be selling humanoid robots to the public. That’s when we are confident that it’s very high reliability, very high safety, and the range of functionality is also very high. You can basically ask it to do anything you’d like.”World Economic Forum, Davos · Jan 22, 2026 · “next year” = 2027
Three hard things
“There are really only three hard things for humanoid robots. The real-world intelligence, the hand, and scale manufacturing.”Musk on Optimus engineering · 2025–2026
How many
“My prediction is there will be more robots than people.”Davos · January 2026
