Tesla has raised production of its Optimus humanoid robot to several hundred units a week, roughly ten times its output in recent months, The Information reports, citing sources. That is a manufacturing increase for the robot program, but the reported pace still faces constraints. The sources identify problems with the robots' hands, automation equipment and suppliers. Those hurdles limit what the higher weekly production rate establishes about Tesla's ability to sustain or expand output.
