Tesla missed its Q1 2026 and \"mid-2026\" reveal targets; Musk said on 2026-04-22 it \"will be unveiled closer to production start\" and that Tesla is holding back demos because competitors copy them frame by frame. Tesla's Q1 2026 update says Fremont (former Model S/X line) is being fitted for a 1M-robot/yr first-generation line, with a Giga Texas line targeting 10M/yr long term from 2027. Rumoured V3 specs (22-DoF hands, ~$20-30K price, public sale end-2027) come from secondary sources and are unverified.
