Businesses Will Need to Use the Tesla Humanoid Robot To Stay Competitive

The Tesla humanoid robot is in full development now and at some point, it's going to be capable of doing simple jobs in a factory. Here's why companies will need to utilize it to remain competitive.

Tesla Bot Will Need To Be In the Work Force

The Tesla humanoid robot will need to be in the work force, and a business that wants to stay competitive will need to utilize the essential gains the Tesla humanoid robot will provide.

According to Cern Basher:

The CEO's of big companies that employ a lot of workers should be calling Elon Musk now and paying Tesla a lot of money to be first in line to receive Tesla's Optimus Robot.

If they are not first in line, they could be waiting for years - and watching as their competition deploys humanoid robots - massively undercutting them.

They should view it as a call option on the survival of their business.

What happens if UPS deploys bots before FedEx?

What happens if Walmart deploys bots before Amazon, Target or Kroger?

What happens if CVS beats Walgreens?

What happens if Ford beats GM?

Which corporate leaders will step up... do any of them understand what's at stake?

Cern is saying that the businesses that jump on using the Tesla Bot first are going to benefit and possibly overtake companies that delay using it.

These robots will be safe, despite false media reports.

I think it is inevitable that the Tesla humanoid robot will join the assembly line at Tesla and other companies - as stated by a Tesla employee working on the Tesla humanoid robot.

Cern listed the total number of employees at the world's top companies. Some examples of that are:

  • Walmart: 2.1 million
  • Amazon: 1.5 million
  • UPS: 536K
  • FedEx: 529K
  • The Home Depot: 472K

That's a few million people right there working for those companies, and that was only the top five listed. There are many more companies listed.

I see the first companies using the Tesla humanoid robot (or some other humanoid robot) to help with factory work. Tesla seems to be in the number one position to succeed in this.

Cost Savings Of Using Tesla Humanoid Robot

Cern says this about the Tesla humanoid robot and the cost savings a business would get with it:

If you could buy a machine that could save you $615,000 over ten years, what would you pay today in order to do that?

This is the exact question that global manufacturing firms and big companies who employ many workers will soon have to answer.

What is clear to me: once one company begins to deploy bots in its workforce, it will force all the others to do so - or they risk becoming noncompetitive - as the labor cost savings potential is so great.

Once a Tesla Bot can do the work that a human is at $5 per hour, it can do this, but work three times as much and doesn't need as much time off - perhaps two total weeks for maintenance and parts being replaced. The cost savings there over ten years is about $205,166.

For a $7.50 per hour job, the cost savings rise to $307,749 over ten years. At a $40 per hour job, the cost savings rise to $820,665.

That is quite a bit of cost savings. Of course, the robots won't simply be working alone without supervision. Humans will need to ensure nothing is going wrong with what they are doing. However, at some point, with training data and labeling, the robots will far exceed human capability.

I think the labor market will expand with humans playing a more supervisory role over time while working hand in hand with Tesla's humanoid robot.

Cern says this on why the Tesla humanoid robot is worth so much:

If the bot can work 20 hours per day, seven days a week for 50 weeks a year (it gets a two week vacation for top to bottom maintenance!), then it's performing work for 7,000 hours a year.

In order to get 7,000 hours of work from human workers, the next best alternative, you'd need 3.5 people working 40 hours a week.

So, if the bot can perform the labor at any given pay-scale that 3.5 people can do, then the cost savings rack up fast (see table). For example, at the $15/hr pay rate, the total lifetime savings from using a bot is $1,006,893 and it's nearly $3 million for work at the $40/hr wage rate - most company executives would jump over pits full of hungry alligators for the opportunity to save this kind of money.

That's quite a disparity between what a human can do and what a humanoid robot can do - as well, Cern shows enormous cost savings using a humanoid robot. The big question is what businesses will first start using them?

Maybe it will replace you, Jeremy. I’m sure that in conjunction with AI, the bot will do a better job writing articles like this. I would say your days are numbered :-)
