Aerial footage from July 7, 2026, shows significant construction progress at Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robot factory in Giga Texas.
The steel superstructure now stands four stories high. Workers have installed most of the central roof and initial floor decking.
This rapid assembly confirms the scaling effort previously teased by Tesla executives for this date. CEO Elon Musk positions the robotics program as potentially more valuable than Tesla’s automotive business.
The Giga Texas facility aims for an eventual production capacity of 10 million Optimus units annually. This progress provides investors with a critical data point for evaluating this high-growth, non-automotive initiative.
