Elon Musk SHOCKED Optimus Gen 3 Ships July at $20K — The Real Cost

Elon Musk SHOCKED Optimus Gen 3 Ships July at $20K — The Real Cost Tesla is targeting late July or August 2026 to begin Optimus Gen 3 production at Fremont — on the same floor that built the Model S for fourteen years. The price target: twenty thousand dollars. The current manufacturing cost: fifty to one hundred thousand dollars per unit. That gap only closes one way. This video breaks down what Tesla's Q1 2026 SEC filing actually confirmed, why Elon Musk called the output "literally impossible to predict," and what the $20K number means for jobs, labor economics, and the largest manufacturing bet Tesla has ever made.
