Tesla's second Optimus generation, unveiled December 2023: Tesla-designed actuators and sensors, a 2-DoF neck, 11-DoF hands with tactile sensing on all fingers, 10 kg lighter and 30% faster walking than the first version. Tesla said in July 2024 it had begun handling batteries in one facility; in January 2026 Musk said Optimus was not used in its factories in a material way and that older versions are deprecated as new ones arrive. Tesla has published no absolute height, weight or battery figures for Gen 2.
Legacy mentions are unverified. A partnership or announcement is not proof of an active deployment. Evidence labels do not change HMX v2 scoring.
First internal task: handling batteries in one of Tesla's facilities (Q2 2024); by January 2026 Musk said Optimus was not in use in Tesla's factories in a material way

Customer: Tesla (internal) · USA
Task: battery handling
Optimus is performing its first task handling batteries in one of our facilities.
It's not in usage in our factories in a material way.
Evidence is attached to each value. Robot-wide source links do not verify every field. A source about an older value cannot support the current specification.
