Tesla’s Robotocalypse: 2 Million Cybercabs & 1 Million Optimus Sweatshops

KEY POINTS

•Elon Musk emphasized the need for intense work hours to transform Tesla's production capabilities back in 2018.
•Tesla faced significant challenges during its production phase, known as 'production hell,' while scaling up manufacturing.
•Now valued at $1.3 trillion, Tesla's unique blend of software and manufacturing is set to be tested again.

Elon Musk’s 2026 production forecast is basically a corporate Hunger Games, with Tesla aiming to crank out 2 million Cybercabs and 1 million Optimus humanoid robots annually. Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla’s VP of AI software, threw down a ‘hardest year of your life’ gauntlet, prepping his crew for a grind worthy of a caffeinated octopus juggling flaming swords. Back in 2018, Musk bragged about 100-hour workweeks during 'production hell' while Tesla clawed its way to a $1.3 trillion valuation, almost snapping necks of traditional automakers. Now, every one of those 10,000 parts has the power to turn this factory party into a slow-motion disaster movie titled 'Production Hell 2: Robot Hardcore.'
