The era of new driver’s license holders has come to an end. Companies such as Waymo, Tesla, Zoox, and others are reshaping our automotive society, making mobility safer, more affordable, and accessible in both urban and rural areas. Tesla’s job postings for positions at its Holzgerlingen facility, located southwest of Stuttgart, are seeking engineers to work on production machines for the Tesla Optimus transmission. Currently, two production sites for Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus, are known. One is in Fremont, slated to take over the Model S and Model X production hall with a capacity for one million humanoids annually, while the other is in Austin, where a new factory with a capacity of 10 million units per year is under construction.
The job postings for robotics engineers in Holzgerlingen appear to be related to Tesla Automation, a unit responsible for setting up production lines worldwide for Tesla. Does the search for reinforcements in Germany suggest that Tesla may be planning a production facility for the Tesla Optimus in the country?
