September 9th message, ElonMuskSEND A CLARIFICATION ON SOCIAL PLATFORM X THATTeslaHumanoid RobotThe next generation of Optimus V3 products has not been made public。

Mask made this statement from a video recently shared by Salesforce CEO Mark Beniov. In the video, Mask shows an Optimus upgraded prototype robot that carries Gok's artificial intelligence。
A short video from Beniov shows a gold Optimus robot answering questions and trying to walk through Tesla Grok's artificial intelligence assistant. The addition of Grok shows that Tesla is working to integrate dialogue-based artificial intelligence directly into Optimus, so that its application is no longer limited to mechanical motion, but also extends to workplace interaction and consumption。
The difference between Optimus in the video and the V2 version previously displayed by Tesla is clear: hand-to-hand design is closer to human form, and the body is coated in gold. Subsequently, the Tesla Optimus official account issued an upgraded design with a functional hand, with the text “I've been sculpting my own shape”。
Many people in the Tesla community believe that the Optimistic prototype robot in the new picture is Optimus V3, after all, not only is it more advanced in hand and forearm design, but it also uses a fluid new coating, which is a complete upgrade of the human robot. But Mask made it clear that that was not the case。

1AI noted that there were X platform users comparing the development of Optimus with the Raptor V1, V2 and V3 engines of the Starship, and that in his response Mask clarified that Tesla had not shown Optimus V3 and called the human robot in the new picture Optimus V2.5. In his reply, he wrote, "We haven't shown Optimus V3, and this product will be very good. The last two images are V2 and V2.5, respectively
Optimus means a lot to Tesla's future. This robot is expected to be a high-yielding product and a central pillar of Tesla's goal of “sustainable prosperity”. In addition, Elon Mask ' s 2025 pay scheme was directly linked to Optimus, one of which was to deliver 1 million Optimus robots。
