I own 9,000 shares and started buying in 2019. We own 3 Teslas and all have FSD. I've taken 10+ Robotaxi rides in Austin. And my son is an engineer there. I can assure you the Optimus program is no gimmick. You're falling for many lies being told. Q3 will be a record quarter (in Teslas entire history), with new model(s) coming early in Q4.

What problem does Optimus solve? Who are their competitors and how is Tesla planning to differentiate themselves in the market?

WRT to FSD, I've had too many harrowing experiences as a passenger in friend's Teslas trying to show me how awesome it is. My experience in Industrial Automation and HMI (Human-Machine Interfaces) would lead me to never use FSD.
