Optimus Gen 3

Product Overview

Revolutionary 22-degree-of-freedom dexterous hands: This is the most notable feature of Gen 3. The degrees of freedom per hand double from 11 to 22, and the number of actuators increases to 25. Capability: The dexterity approaches that of a human hand, enabling far more complex industrial assembly tasks and fine-grained household operations. Height and weight optimization: Height is slightly increased to around 180 cm, while the overall weight is further reduced to approximately 45 kg by using new materials such as 3D-printed flexible polymers. Computing leap: Equipped with the new Tesla AI5 chip (or HW5.0 robot-specific version). It natively integrates xAI’s Grok model, giving it strong natural language interaction and visual reasoning capabilities. Endurance and protection: Single-charge runtime improved to 5–6 hours. Arms and end-effectors reach IP68 protection rating (dustproof and waterproof), enabling operation in harsher industrial environments.

Key Highlights

Application Scenarios

Consumer home use, domestic assistance, Industrial automation, logistics, Manufacturing In 2026, the entire production capacity will be used exclusively within Tesla’s internal factories (e.g., 4680 battery sorting and material handling). It is expected that external companies and general consumers will not be able to purchase the product until the end of 2027 or 2028 at the earliest.
