Tesla has officially stopped offering custom orders for the Model S and Model X, marking the beginning of the end for these models. Elon Musk hinted at an upcoming official ceremony to commemorate the closure of this chapter. Musk also announced a delay in the presentation of the new Tesla Optimus update, mentioning that the Optimus Gen 3 robot is almost ready but requires some final touches before being revealed to the public.
SpaceX has confidentially filed for an IPO that is expected to rewrite the record books, with a targeted valuation of $1.75 trillion. This move comes as SpaceX holds the key to future space exploration, particularly following the upcoming Artemis II mission by NASA. Artemis II is a significant step in returning humans to the Moon, with the spacecraft expected to carry four astronauts on a 10-day journey around the Moon before returning to Earth.
Moreover, SpaceX is working on the Starship Human Landing System to ferry astronauts to the lunar surface, as part of NASA’s Artemis missions. The development of the Starship HLS faces challenges, particularly in demonstrating the capability to refuel in orbit. However, despite delays in the project, Elon Musk remains optimistic about SpaceX’s progress and its crucial role in lunar exploration.
The robotics revolution at Tesla also continues with the development of the Optimus Gen 3 humanoid robot, which promises to have a significant impact on manufacturing and daily life. With Tesla and SpaceX making strides in their respective fields, the future of technology and space exploration looks promising.
