The humanoid robots – faceless, tall figures with joint-like bends around the knees, hips, shoulders and elbows – can “basically do anything you want,” Musk said.

On Thursday night, Tesla threw a highly anticipated media event at Warner Bros. studios near Los Angeles and unveiled a prototype robotaxi that Musk calls the Cybercab. Consumers will have to wait on that one since Musk says it’s still 2-3 years away, just as it has been for the past decade.

Musk also brought out the newest generation of Tesla’s Optimus robots, as he tries to move Tesla’s image away from solely being an auto manufacturer to that of an AI robotics company. He said he expects the faceless robot helpers to cost less than a car down the line at $20,000 to $30,000 so that anybody could own one.
