What is Tesla AI Day?
Tesla’s AI day is their annual showcase of the latest technology across the company’s various business units. While Tesla vehicles gain the majority of the press coverage, they have a wide range of different applications and products that they continue to develop and refine.
You can think of it kind of like Apple’s annual release event, but with more of a focus on what is to come in the future. Apple announces iPhones that are ready for purchase the next week, AI announces on technology that may still be years away from full release.
Over time, Tesla’s AI is becoming a larger and larger event, with a livestream that’s watched by millions across the globe.
Investors or potential investors tune in to find out the new ways Tesla is looking to generate revenue for the company. The tech obsessed watch to see how Tesla is pushing the envelope in bringing new and exciting innovations to the market.
Some just watch because they know that Elon Musk always puts on a show.
Regardless of the reason, we can expect the Tesla AI day on September 30th 2022 to bring some surprises and new ideas into the public eye.

How to watch Tesla AI Day
So far we know that Tesla AI is going to be held on September 30th 2022 in Palo Alto, California. Last year the event was streamed live via the Tesla website as well as their official YouTube channel.
The livestream time hasn’t been confirmed yet, but is expected to commence at 5PM PT / 8PM ET as it did last year.
We’re going to provide updates to this page as soon as they’re released on how you can watch the Tesla AI Day live, and in the meantime you can check out the full stream of last’s years event.
What can we expect to see at Tesla AI Day 2022?
The first big clue was that the date for AI Day has been pushed back by six weeks, with the aim to have a prototype of Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus, up and running.
Elon Musk tweeted on June 3rd to announce that the date would be moved from the original planned date of August 19th.
Optimus
Eyes will be peeled to see whether we’re offered a glimpse of the new innovation. The project was initially announced at last years’ AI Day. In typical Elon Musk fashion, it arrived with some fanfare that generated mass press coverage across the globe.
A human shaped figure came dancing on the stage, and while the shiny suit and robot style moves gave the appearance of a major robotics innovation, it quickly became clear that it was, in fact, a guy in a robot suit.
Nevertheless, Musk went on to explain that the vision was to create a humanoid robot capable of completing many of the mundane, repetitive or dangerous tasks of everyday life, such as picking groceries from the shelves or completing routine maintenance in dangerous locations.
The image accompanying the announcement on Twitter also lends itself to a day where Optimus is the highlight, with two robot hands making the influencers calling sign, a heart.
Dojo Chip
We’d also expect to see some new information on Tesla’s own microchip, Dojo. This is a supercomputer which will power the future generations of Tesla products, which was initially announced at last year’s event.
It has been built from the ground up by Tesla, and is focused on ‘pure machine learning’. This means it isn’t backwards compatible with existing products on the market, but has been specially designed to power the next generation of AI-based technology.
We could expect to see further information on the practical applications of the new chip and the uses for the new processing power and machine learning specialization.
Robotaxi
Another announcement that seems many years ahead of its time is the Robotaxi. This is, admittedly, an early stage technology that Musk has stated will become a combination of “Uber and AirBnb.”
The idea is that once Tesla is finally able to crack fully self-driving vehicles (and the incredibly high regulatory hurdles can be jumped) the option will open up for owners to release their vehicles in their downtime.
Rather than having a vehicle parked up on the street or in a garage overnight, owners could send their car out on the road to offer taxi services, generating passive income while they sleep.
It may seem like pie in the sky thinking, but if anyone can bring it closer to reality, its Elon Musk and Tesla.
Fully Self Driving (FSD) Beta
An update on Robotaxi may come alongside the latest on the fully self-driving technology, which has proven to be controversial.
Musk had initially stated that he expects to have 1 million Robotaxi’s by the end of the year, but walked these comments down to now say he expects to have 1 million vehicles in Fully Self Driving (FSD) Beta by the end of the year.
Either way, fully autonomous vehicles are inching ever closer to reality, and we can hope to see updates on this space at AI Day.
