Tesla’s Optimus robot just hit a major pause — and the reason why could change everything. Elon Musk promised 5,000 humanoids by 2025, but production has stalled over one surprising detail: the robot’s hand. Is Tesla chasing perfection at the cost of its lead? Or is this the breakthrough that secures Tesla's dominance in the humanoid race?

The final revelation I had shocked me. It could be a turning point in Tesla's trajectory, but I think they caught it in time. Let me know your thoughts

My assumption is that this pause is similar to the one Tesla took when switching from linear programming to neural nets for FSD. They had a breakthrough with the hand design, and rather than push ahead with the current design they put things on hold to perfect the new one. Elon is a master at ignoring “sunk costs” and always pushing for the perfect solution. These two traits will sometimes create the illusion that Tesla is behind, but imo will result in a much more disruptive and ideal result in the end.
