Tesla is working on an android

As Elon Musk stood in the wings at Tesla Inc.’s AI day, a person dressed in a skintight white suit and grey space helmet did a jerky robot dance across the stage.

And with that, Musk flagged a move into a new realm of science-fiction: lifelike humanoid robots designed to take the drudgery out of everyday life.

The ‘Tesla Bot,’ a prototype of which should be available next year, is designed to eliminate “dangerous, repetitive and boring tasks,” like bending over to pick something up, or go to the store for groceries, Musk said. “Essentially the future of physical work will be a choice.”

Cool, I welcome our robot overlords and am ready to fulfill my role as battery.

Makes sense, those robots they use from Boston dynamics are not cheap, why not make your own if you can

these robots seem to fail rather epically as well

Elon Musk would shag a female sexbot and marry it if he could.

but will it constantly sprout adverts, when you ask it to do something simple?

Dear Elon,

Please make them sexy.

Regards,
Forever alone.
