What are your neighbors' rights around a Tesla Optimus?

Undisclosed as a robot-specific rule, because no law names a home humanoid yet. But the law your neighbors would rely on already exists: recording-consent statutes, nuisance and trespass, and the reasonable expectation of privacy that governs any device that records or crosses a property line. This flips the usual question: not what you can do with a robot, but what your neighbors are owed when one lives next door. No statute names a home humanoid, so there is no robot-specific answer, but the honest point is that neighbors are not without rights, because general law already covers the behaviors that would matter. Recording is the sharpest. US wiretap and eavesdropping law splits by state: in one-party-consent states only one participant need consent to record a conversation, while in two-party or all-party-consent states everyone must, and secretly capturing a neighbor's conversation can violate those laws regardless of who owns the device. Video of a neighbor in a place where they reasonably expect privacy, their yard, their windows, raises the reasonable-expectation-of-privacy doctrine that already constrains home security cameras. Then there is nuisance and trespass: a robot that repeatedly enters a neighbor's property, or that substantially interferes with their use and enjoyment of their home through noise or intrusion, is exactly what nuisance and trespass law addresses, again without needing a robot in the statute. So a neighbor's practical rights are real, they just come from existing law rather than a home-humanoid rule, and how courts would apply them to an autonomous machine is genuinely untested. We lay out the real frameworks and mark the robot-specific application an honest absence. This is general information, not legal advice.
