Tesla Optimus Supply Chain: Who Makes the Parts?

Sanhua, Green Harmonic, and Tuopu are facing significant challenges due to the ongoing rare earth crisis in China, which poses a serious threat to the production of Optimus. This situation has emerged as a critical issue in the supply chain, with potential ramifications extending into 2026. The crisis is primarily driven by geopolitical tensions and supply disruptions, which have led to increased prices and scarcity of essential materials needed for manufacturing. As these companies navigate the complexities of the current market, they are exploring alternative sourcing strategies and partnerships to mitigate risks and ensure the continuity of their operations. The impact of this crisis is expected to reverberate throughout the industry, highlighting the vulnerabilities in the global supply chain and prompting a reevaluation of dependencies on rare earth materials.
