After driving investor enthusiasm up by announcing a Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) ‘Robotaxi’ event for August 8 – and then disappointing with a delay to October – Elon Musk once again took to X to say that the electric vehicle (EV) maker will start ‘low production’ for commercial purposes of the ‘Optimus’ humanoid robot in 2025.
The announcement falls in line with the billionaire’s recent drive to convince investors to view Tesla less as a car manufacturer and more as a robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) company.
Indeed, should the promise be fulfilled, it would mark a major technological and engineering advancement and could help solidify the EV maker’s position among big tech firms and remove it further from its vehicular competition.

With the ambitious promise – and Musk’s track record – in mind, Finbold decided to consult ChatGPT-4o, OpenAI’s most advanced publicly available AI model, on where TSLA shares might find themselves should the firm truly start shipping a humanoid robot in 2025.
ChatGPT sets Tesla stock price target upon the humanoid robot’s release
While ChatGPT-4o quickly proved optimistic when setting the price target for Tesla stock should there be a successful robot release, the $300 per share it predicted may not be as ambitious as would feel intuitive for such a major achievement.
Nonetheless, the AI explained that the price target is designed to be reflective of both the potential of the ‘Optimus’ robot, the likely investor elation, but also historical volatility and TSLA’s more recent, choppy stock market performance.
Once ChatGPT was asked to examine Elon Musk’s track record of making and delivering on promises, the AI proved there are some caveats to its bullishness. Indeed, the program concluded that, looking at historical production issues and the ever-changing self-driving deadlines, there is only a 30% chance of the humanoid robot actually getting released in 2025.
Nevertheless, the AI believes that even should there be no commercially available robot in 2025, Tesla is likely to continue rising in the stock market thanks to its generally strong performance and recovering delivery figures.
Ultimately, ChatGPT concluded that even if nothing comes of Elon Musk’s robotics program next year, TSLA shares are likely to rise to $250 in 2025.
