Key Takeaways
What the community is saying — both sides
Supporting
1
“Tesla is building the future”
many replies cheer the scene as a sci‑fi moment and a bullish sign for Tesla’s push into robotics and autonomy.
2
“It has LiDAR”
a flood of shocked/jokey comments call out the scrubber’s LiDAR, often as ironic commentary given Tesla’s vision‑only narrative.
3
Cost and job impact
several users highlight labor savings, fast payback and the threat to low‑skill jobs, framing the scrubber as immediate ROI and long‑term profit for employers.
4
Not made by Tesla
numerous replies correct the record (Cenobots L50 / Waymobot cited) and ask who the manufacturer is, turning the thread into a vendor/tech‑clarity discussion.
5
Optimus as part of the loop
some see this as a deliberate “flywheel”: robots generate training data and scale production, setting up humanoid Optimus to expand tasks later.
6
Practicality vs. humanoids
a thread of pragmatists notes purpose‑built scrubbers outperform humanoids for specific tasks and raises real questions about spills, missed spots and maintenance.
7
Not novel everywhere
multiple replies point out this tech is already common in Walmarts, gas stations and Asia, tempering the awe with a reminder that deployment, not invention, is the headline.
Opposing
1
Not news — these robots are already everywhere in stores, airports and malls
. Multiple replies point to Walmart, Sam’s Club, airports and grocery stores using the same tech for years.
2
Home vacuums do the same thing
. Users cite Roomba, Roborock and eufy as evidence that this capability has been common in households for years.
3
That isn’t a Tesla robot
commenters identify other models (e.g., Cenobots L
4
and stress many companies make these devices, so credit to Tesla is misplaced.
and stress many companies make these devices, so credit to Tesla is misplaced.
5
Cheap / mass-made tech — often from China
. Several replies call it inexpensive, widely produced hardware rather than a breakthrough.
6
Irony about sensors: cleaners use LiDAR while Tesla avoids it
. People mock the contrast between cleaning robots relying on LiDAR and Tesla’s camera-first AV approach.
7
Mocking Tesla hype and FSD conflation
. Replies joke about calling these “FSD miles,” label Tesla fandom impressed by commonplace tech, or call Tesla offerings vaporware.
8
Privacy worries
. A subset suspects these robots could be used to track or record customers.
9
Not novel — long history
. Some point to companies making floor-cleaning robots since the 1990s or examples from 2017–2018 to argue this is recycled, incremental tech.

Bought from China. Nothing impressive. It’s everywhere here in Asia.

This is Cenobots L50. Not made by $TSLA. Many offices have it, nothing to be excited about https://t.co/nt01htWKt1

Look at that Lidar! I wonder who makes these?
