The rules provide clear and strict definitions for what constitutes a qualifying release. Resolution explicitly requires a newly introduced humanoid, bipedal consumer robot to be available for purchase or paid preorder directly to the general public through an official Tesla consumer channel by the stated deadline. Specific exclusions rule out internal factory deployments, commercial enterprise pilots, demos, unveilings, and non-paid waitlists, leaving minimal room for subjective interpretation. Resolution relies directly on official materials and storefront releases from Tesla.

Resolution rules
This market will resolve to “Yes” if Tesla releases a humanoid, bipedal robot (such as Optimus) by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. A qualifying product is a humanoid, bipedal robot intended for consumer use and newly introduced. Non-humanoid robotics, accessories, internal factory deployments, employee-only programs, and partner/enterprise pilots do not qualify. To be considered “released,” the product must be available for purchase by the general public within the timeframe via an official Tesla consumer channel (e.g., tesla.com) with a live checkout or paid preorder/deposit. Announcements, unveilings, demos, or waitlists with “register interest” pages without payment do not suffice. Availability in any region counts if it is open to the general public. The primary resolution source will be official statements and materials from Tesla.
