Credibility concern recorded. The source reference remains available for verification and correction.

A sourced price tracker separates Tesla Optimus’s stated long-term target from an actual selling price.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-29 issue.

Field notes

The page uses a chronological evidence table and short question-and-answer sections to distinguish a quoted target from a product price. It records Musk’s October 2024 “around $30,000” statement and the January 2026 $20,000–$30,000 range, while tying the latter to production at millions of units per year. It also compares Optimus with Unitree G1 and 1X NEO, and withholds circulating $50,000–$100,000 cost estimates that it cannot trace to a primary disclosure.
