East Bay officials are reacting to the news Tesla will stop producing its Model S and X vehicles at its Fremont factory, and switch to building Optimus humanoid robots, by year’s end.

Musk claimed the reason for killing Model S and Model X was “autonomy.” This sounds strange considering that those vehicles are equipped with the same auotnomous driving capabilities (Level 2) and hardware. But it started to make more sense when he said what will replace the production line in Fremont: Optimus production.
