What if there are humans acting as these Tesla Robots in this product demo or the Tesla Robots are just remotely operated by humans to fake this demo?.

Very skeptical of this whole presentation, even if Elon and Tesla are overpromising on timelines.



Nothing that was shown is beyond the capabilities of robots from over a decade ago like Asimo (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=am1csALyEzE). It was a cool demo and beyond hobbyist capabilities, but realistically achievable by a commercial lab without having to fake it.


It's definitely teleoperated. The hardware is there, but the software isn't.


What if everything you know is a lie, what if we never went to the moon, what if all our leaders are lizard people?
