Optimus Gen 3 hype ramps up too, with design freeze in Q1, thousands already in factories, and 50,000 units targeted by year-end per Gasgoo and Finterra. Musk pledged FSD rollout in UAE this month and Europe or China by March.
Social buzz spikes on MarketBeat with TSLA mentions soaring amid earnings anticipation on January 28, where Musk must deliver on robotaxi promises despite 2025 delivery declines. Investors whisper of a Model 2 unveil in Q2 for volume revival, but all eyes are on proving unsupervised FSD and robotics amid lawsuits over past hype. Tesla's not just surviving, its rewriting the future, one bold bet at a time.
