Based on the latest statements from Elon Musk, Tesla's Optimus robots may become available to humanity in the coming years. In April 2024, Musk stated that sales of Optimus to external customers could begin by the end of 2025. Furthermore, in July 2024, he clarified that Tesla plans to start 'small-scale production' of these humanoid robots for internal use in 2025, while mass production for other companies may start in 2026. Thus, if Tesla's plans are realized on time, the first Optimus robots will be available to humanity (primarily, likely to companies and organizations) as early as 2025, with wider distribution possible starting in 2026.

However, it is worth considering that the timelines announced by Musk are often shifted, as was the case with other Tesla projects, such as the autonomous robotaxi network. Therefore, the exact date may change depending on the progress in development and production.
