The future is here, albeit with some hurdles. The latest showcase of Tesla’s ‘Optimus’ robot reveals it struggling with basic functions, complicating its touted role as a vital part of Tesla’s future developments.

The video, shared by Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, depicts the bot having difficulty answering trivial questions such as ‘Where can I get a coke?’

Elon’s Tesla Optimus 🤖🔥 is here! Dawn of the physical Agentforce revolution, tackling human work for $200K–$500K. Productivity game-changer! Congrats @elonmusk, and thank you for always being so kind to me! 🚀 #Tesla #Optimus

In the demonstration, Optimus appears unable to retrieve the drink, merely suggesting, “I can take you to the kitchen if you’d like to check.” After some delay, it begins to move awkwardly down an office aisle.

Despite its promise, concerns are growing regarding whether such a robot can justify its $500,000 price tag and its potential to revolutionize human labor. Musk has even predicted that 10 billion of these robots could populate the Earth by 2040, despite their apparent current limitations.
