Elon and the engineering team working on Optimus aren’t going to be able to fix the supply shortages which are at the heart of this.It's obvious that an AI engineer working on the bot isn't going to work on the CT rollout. However, at a macro level my statement was correct. It just seems that Tesla is spreading itself thin, working on a new bot when they haven't released CT, the Semi or the roadster that were announced years ago. Every company has finite resources and it appears that Tesla is investing resources in a new far fetched bot, when they can't even deliver on their backlog. It's as if Elon has product ADD.
The software and robotics engineers that are working on Optimus, many of whom were hired specifically to work on Optimus and have no automotive expertise.
I think fundamentally, Elon trusts the team running his automotive and battery teams enough where they can work independent of him chasing most of these issues.
