Tesla · Humanoid · 2026
Optimus 'Gen 3' (2024-2026) currently refers to a major HANDS upgrade rather than a new body — the Gen 3 hand system jumps to 22 DoF and 50 actuators (25 per hand), a ~4.5x increase over Gen 2, enabling 3,000+ manipulation tasks. It pairs with Tesla's new AI5 chip, a Vision-Language-Action model and xAI Grok voice integration. The body currently remains the Gen 2 frame (57kg/173cm); a full redesigned 'V3' body is expected to be revealed but has not been officially specced. Body figures carried from Gen 2; Gen-3-specific body specs flagged as pending.
