Tesla sells the Optimus robot, but there is a nuance

In 2021, Elon Musk promised to create an artificial intelligent assistant 172 cm tall. But so far Tesla has only presented a 17.7 cm tall figure, reminiscent of the long-awaited car.
This is reported by USA TODAY.
What can a miniature version of Optimus do
Teslarati, an outlet that covers Musk, SpaceX and Tesla, reports that the Tesla Bot Action Figure toy, which cost $40, was sold out in a day. Customers can only subscribe to receive notifications about replenishment of the toy's stock, as the figure is still sold out.
Tesla describes the figure as a mini-autonomous assistant and humanoid friend.
"The Tesla Bot Action Figure is a 1:10 scale (collectible) playable figurine with over 40 individual parts and 20 points of articulation to look and move like our 2nd generation humanoid robot," the description on Tesla’s website states.
Tesla customers can expect a charging stand and a "CyberHammer" accessory in addition to the figure.
The only way to buy the Tesla Bot Action Figure right now is on eBay, where it costs between $130 and $1,300.
It’s unclear how long it will take for customers who have purchased the Tesla figures to receive them, or when the toys will be available for order again.
The Cybercab was presented by Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The car, without pedals or a steering wheel, will cost no more than $30,000.
We also wrote that in recent years, the concept of a vacuum train Hyperloop, developed by Elon Musk, seemed like another fantastic dream that never came true. Everyone who decided to try it gradually abandoned the idea or switched to something more suitable for their conditions.
