A key attraction at the Tesla booth is the second-generation Tesla bot, Optimus, a humanoid robot designed to perform repetitive or physically demanding tasks and showcase the company's advances in robotics and AI.

Tesla is also displaying its all-electric pickup truck, the Cybertruck, which has drawn attention for its unconventional design and signals the company's expansion beyond passenger vehicles.
