Tesla nears completion of the main structure for its Optimus robot factory in Texas

According to cnBeta, Tesla's Optimus humanoid robot production line in Texas is nearing completion, with the main steel structure close to finishing and about five column bays away from reaching the north-edge beam six months after groundbreaking. Concrete pours for the three-story building have started, and parallel steel and concrete work aims to save time toward a 2027 production start. cnBeta says Musk's long-term goal is 10 million Optimus units per year, far above Fremont's 1 million-unit pilot line, with Fremont having begun mass production of Gen 3 robots in January to collect data for Texas rollout.
