The Fremont high-volume line is in early ramp. In its Q3 2026 Update (SEC Exhibit 99.1), Tesla calls units off the line the company's first "production-quality" humanoids; the same filing marks Texas as Construction and says hardware and process will keep iterating. A verifiable line milestone—not proof of customer delivery.

【Facts】Tesla's Q3 2026 shareholder update (SEC Exhibit 99.1) marks California Optimus as Early Ramp and Texas Optimus as Construction on the Manufacturing & Hardware page. The body states production has started on the Fremont high-volume line, that units off the line are the "first production-quality bots," and that the current process has been shown suitable for a commercial product while hardware and manufacturing process will continue to iterate. The outlook page also notes that Optimus production has begun at Fremont. 【Why it matters】"Production-quality" is a company-claimed line milestone — it does not equal external customer delivery, nor does it mean task generalization is solved. The same quarterly update does not give an external delivery timeline or a public specs sheet in that section. 【Watch】Next signals to track: external delivery windows, durability and hand reliability disclosures, and whether non-scripted task demos appear in verifiable materials.
