Decision
Availability
Research-only. No purchase path and no pre-order. You cannot put Optimus on a PO today. Maker-facility use is not a customer lead time.
All-in
There is no all-in because there is no sale. Do not treat scale-target headlines as a quote.
Plan-change
Gen 1 is prior demo hardware on this URL. A production V3, if it ships, stays canonical here; we will not invent a buy button ahead of Tesla.
