Why this price
Tesla makes the Optimus hand itself and does not sell it, so this is not its price. It is the price of five-finger robot hands with around 20 or more joints and touch sensing that a builder can buy one at a time. The top of the range is a tendon-driven hand like Tesla's newer design.
Our own figure, not a price from any company.
