Before There Was Second, There Was First: At the first AI Day on Aug. 19, 2021, Musk revealed that Tesla was building a 5'8" tall 125 lbs humanoid robot dubbed “Optimus.” At the time, the company also showcased its custom chip called “D1” and touched on solving computer vision to achieve full-self driving.
