Tesla did not waste time in AI Day 2022 , unveiling its Tesla Bot prototype onstage as soon as the event started. Granted, these are very menial tasks, and the robot was not untethered during the demonstration, but it is a notable step up from the past year when Tesla had no working Optimus prototypes. .
