Authored visual reconstruction. An authored exterior illustration referencing Tesla’s December 2023 Gen 2 presentation. It is an approximate visual reconstruction, not manufacturer CAD. Proportions, concealed parts, joint placement and motion are not measured specifications.
Model source & usage
The visual reference and the reviewed specification dataset have separate provenance. Model preparation notes identify the author, source references, geometry choices and limits. The illustration does not establish internal construction or demonstrated capabilities.
Tesla states tactile sensing on all fingers. Sensor type, resolution and task autonomy are unspecified.
Evidence for finger tactile sensing
Original value
Tactile sensing on all fingers
Claimant
Tesla, Inc.
Context
All-finger coverage is Tesla’s claim. Sensor type, resolution and task autonomy are unspecified.
Source location
01:13, overlay during the tabletop manipulation segment.
Definition
Explicit manufacturer description of finger tactile sensing for an identified generation. Retain coverage wording; no inferred sensor type, resolution or manipulation performance.

Tesla states force and torque sensing at the feet. Sensor arrangement, precision and test conditions are unspecified.
Evidence for foot force and torque sensing
Original value
Foot force/torque sensing
Claimant
Tesla, Inc.
Context
Foot sensing is stated without sensor layout, precision, control method or test conditions.
Source location
00:51, overlay in the close-up of feet and lower legs.
Definition
Explicit manufacturer description of foot force and torque sensing for an identified generation. No inferred sensor layout, precision or balance performance.

11 degrees of freedom for the presented hand design. This is not the total for the robot or both hands, and does not establish manipulation performance.
Evidence for hand degrees of freedom
Original value
11-DoF (count)
Claimant
Tesla, Inc.
Context
The overlay describes the hand design. Recorded for one hand, not the sum of both hands or total robot freedom. No dexterity test is inferred.
Source location
01:10, overlay introducing the new hand design.
Definition
Explicitly stated degrees of freedom for one hand design of an identified generation. Not a whole-body total, finger count or independently measured dexterity.

Claimed reduction of 10 kg. The comparator, baseline mass and battery scope are unspecified; this is not the robot’s total mass.
Evidence for claimed mass reduction
Original value
10kg total weight reduction (kg)
Claimant
Tesla, Inc.
Context
Relative reduction claim only. Comparator identity and baseline mass, battery scope and measurement conditions are unspecified. No absolute Gen 2 mass is inferred.
Conversion / method
Numeric magnitude transcribed in kilograms; no absolute mass calculated.
Source location
00:55, overlay in the full-body presentation segment.
Definition
Magnitude of a manufacturer-claimed mass reduction in kilograms. Retain the stated comparator and battery/configuration scope, or their absence. Never whole-robot mass or a basis for deriving it without a compatible baseline.

Tesla describes articulated toe sections. Powered actuation, joint count and range are unspecified.
Evidence for toe articulation
Original value
Articulated toe sections
Claimant
Tesla, Inc.
Context
Articulation is stated; powered actuation, joint count and range are unspecified.
Source location
00:51, second line of the foot close-up overlay.
Definition
Explicit manufacturer description of articulated toes for an identified generation. Does not establish actuation, joint count, range or locomotion ability.

Claimed walking speed increase of 30%. The comparator, baseline speed and test conditions are unspecified; this is not an absolute speed or independent test result.
Evidence for claimed walking speed increase
Original value
30% walk speed boost (%)
Claimant
Tesla, Inc.
Context
Relative increase claim only. Comparator identity, baseline speed, protocol, surface, loading and control mode are unspecified. No absolute speed or general autonomous locomotion is inferred.
Conversion / method
Percentage transcribed as a relative increase; no conversion to absolute speed.
Source location
00:45, overlay in the walking segment.
Definition
Relative manufacturer-claimed walking speed increase in percent. Retain comparator and measurement conditions, or their absence. Never an absolute speed, independently measured result or demonstrated general locomotion ability.
