[Global Network Technology Comprehensive Report] On July 31, Tesla CEO Elon Musk appeared at an event held by Tesla Silicon Valley Owners Club (X Takeover) via online connection, accepted an on-site interview, and shared the latest developments on the company's future projects.


When talking about the fifth test flight of Starship, Musk said: "We expect to take about two to three weeks to prepare, of course, this also depends on when we can get approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)." He further speculated that if everything goes well, the test flight could take place as early as the end of August or early September.

Musk detailed the "Starlink Mini," a smaller and lighter satellite internet receiving device. He noted that although its bandwidth is half that of the standard version, its portability makes it ideal for first responders and emergency response services. He also optimistically predicted: "I believe it will become a best-selling product, with a lower cost, and the final price may be only a few hundred dollars."

Musk compared the Optimus humanoid robot to a "smart car with arms and legs" and shared the in-depth learning of how the human body works during the design process. He revealed that the actuators of the new Optimus will be located in the forearm, which is closer to the layout of human hand muscles. Musk also boldly predicted that these robots may become a must-have for families in the future, with a price range of between $22,000 and $25,000.

When asked about the future car project he is most looking forward to, Musk chose Robotaxi self-driving taxis, believing that it will have the greatest impact on the world. Although he admitted that the Roadster is very cool, he believes that it is not necessary from a practical point of view. Musk also mentioned flying cars, suggesting that Tesla may have some layout in the future.
