In the midst of all the attention, the Chongqing International Auto Show 2025 kicked off, and Tesla became the center of attention with its innovative technology and cutting-edge products. This time, Tesla not only brought the Model 3 and Model Y made in China, but also the latest version of its humanoid robot and Cyber cross-country station wagon, which perfectly interpreted the theme of the show, "Starting a New Journey with Wisdom and Leading the Future".
Tesla isn't just content with innovating within the automotive industry, it's crossing over to showcase its humanoid robot at the show. This robot, built by Tesla's AI team, made its debut as early as AI Day 2021, and a prototype was launched in 2022.As a collection of Tesla's Intelligent Driving algorithms, perception systems, and control models, this humanoid robot demonstrates human-like walking, grasping, and lifting abilities, and its high degree of physical dexterity and environmental adaptability is amazing.
The core technologies developed by Tesla for electric vehicles, such as batteries, power electronics, advanced electric drive systems, software systems and fully autonomous driving computers, are all applicable to this humanoid robot. This technological homology gives Tesla a unique advantage in the field of humanoid robots as well.
What is more exciting is that Tesla is expected to realize the mass production of the humanoid robot. It has been revealed that the cost of a future mass-produced humanoid robot will be between $20,000 and $30,000, a price that may even be lower than a Tesla car. The robot will be able to fulfill a variety of roles, such as teacher, child caregiver, pet companion, lawn mower, shopping assistant, and beverage server. Tesla plans to pilot produce 5,000 humanoid robots this year and expects to ramp up production to 50,000 units next year.
Tesla's appearance at the auto show not only demonstrated its leading position in the automotive industry, but also showed the outside world its deep heritage and unlimited potential in the field of artificial intelligence and robotics. With the mass production and wide application of humanoid robots, Tesla will open a brand new intelligent era and lead mankind to a more convenient and intelligent future.
