Optimus revenue is being vastly (and stupidly) overrated by a lot of people (including Elon) at the moment. they're assuming that "everyone will want an Optimus" (which may be true) and therefore every human being will buy an Optimus (which is ridiculously false). 99% of the people on this planet can only dream of having the disposable income to put down 10k or 20k for a household robot that will do the dishes and fold the laundry. i spend maybe 3 hours a week doing household chores. the idea that i would pay more money than i paid for my car (which i really need) just to save myself 3 hours of household chores a week is beyond laughable. and i can't even send the robot downstairs to do the laundry, because then anyone could steal or vandalize it. so the price of an Optimus will be completely disproportional to its benefits for the vast, vast majority of regular people.
