Fremont S/X lines become an Optimus factory making 1M robots/year

“We are going to take the Model S and X production space in our Fremont factory and convert that into an Optimus factory with a long-term goal of having a million units a year. I'm confident that we'll get to a million units a year in Fremont of Optimus 3.”
The fine print

Related to existing entry #101 (1M-unit Optimus line by end of 2026) but this is a new, Fremont-specific claim. No explicit deadline on the 1M/year rate itself.

It is the concrete factory-level commitment behind his claim that Optimus becomes Tesla's biggest business.
