And it’s done.

After waiting for nearly an hour for the event to start, it lasted just under 20 minutes. Musk showed off the Cybercab, the Robovan, and several Optimus robots. 

Musk did not give many clear cut timelines for the products shown tonight. The Cybercab will supposedly be here before 2027 for less than $30,000, and autonomous FSD is supposed to be available in California and Texas in 2025. But that’s about it. (And we’ve heard promises like this before.)

Everyone will allegedly have a personal Optimus robot to watch their kids and do the dishes, the Tesla CEO said. But we don’t know when this future will come, or how much it will cost.
