Notes and caveats 5

Shipped in 2025. Omdia's chart puts Tesla at about 150 units (Rest of World) or in a 150-500 range (China Daily); IDC says Optimus was still in internal testing. Missed its 5,000-unit 2025 goal.
Built to date. Official production count still zero as of Jul 2026 (Motley Fool); first Fremont robots go to an internal 'Optimus Academy'.
Funding raised. Listed company.
Valuation. Left out of the valuation ranking: $1.5T is the market value of all of Tesla, not Optimus. Market cap of Tesla Inc. (~$1.5T, Motley Fool), not an Optimus-specific value.
Factory capacity. Left out of the capacity ranking: the 1 million a year figure comes from secondary write-ups, not a Tesla filing. Target: Fremont line designed for about 1 million Optimus a year (reported from Musk's Q4 2025 call; secondary sources); Giga Texas site with eventual 10 million/yr (reported). Production start 'late July/August 2026'.
