Tesla (TSLA) CEO tempers investor expectations ahead of earnings, signaling "agonizingly slow" early production for key future products. Tesla's CEO Elon Musk on Tuesday sought to manage investor expectations around two of the company's most anticipated future products, warning that early production of the Cybercab robotaxi and Optimus humanoid robot will be significantly slower than many anticipate.
"The speed of the production ramp is inversely proportionate to how many new parts and steps there are," Musk wrote on X (formerly Twitter). He emphasized that for Cybercab and Optimus, “almost everything is new,” so the early production rate will be agonizingly slow before ramping up.
