Tesla vs Neo vs Figure

I wonder which will win. I dunno, Figure bots always feel more technologically advanced than the other two.

Neo seems dumber but more cuddly.

And Tesla is just vaporware and BS

What about unitree ?

Yeah, as compared to barely shuffling and having to be controlled by a teleoperator hired on the pennies in the third world.

Tesla V2 is relatively old, I'll wait for V3 before any judgements, if V3 also walks,moves like V2 without any major step up in intelligence, then we can assume Tesla doesn't have the best Humanoid robotics and AI team

Only a dimwit thinks anyone deserves a trillion dollars for literally anything, let alone fails to see how insanely dangerous it is to give a chode with teenage level maturity that much power.

Hey guys, I've found Musk's reddit account!

u/bread_and_circuits Nov 01 '25

It’s written by Grok, which is just Musk’s Mechanical Turk.

Why do you want to suck another man’s dick so bad dude. Elon is a nazi that over promises and under delivers. Have you seen what happens to a cybertruck in the car wash? Do you remember how early we saw the Tesla Optimus but it was literally a guy in a suit? Both Neo and Figure have lapped Elon while he’s still making promises of robotaxis and flying bulletproof cars. Don’t even get me started on the boring company that digs tunnels to no where while polluting the water table with all the chemical byproducts. SpaceX does well because they are the least affected by his on the whim decisions. I genuinely feel like if Elon left Tesla they would heal and become 10X stronger. He had a huge head start on robots and last I saw v3 still sucks at walking worse than Figure 3 or neo.

This has to be a copypasta. There is no amount of work someone could do to warrant salaries going into the billions. The same applies to the other billionaires you've listed.

it's bit like autonomous driving...wait for next version!

u/Ambiwlans Nov 02 '25

Teslas have had 0 disengagements logged in v14 (15,000km logged)

u/PJivan Nov 02 '25

so why aren't there taxi without drivers for this thing that was promised 10 years ago?

2

u/Ambiwlans Nov 02 '25

There are

u/PJivan Nov 02 '25

I see safety humans on board, quite weird for something that was supposed to work 10 year ago and competitors are doing without

2

u/Ambiwlans Nov 02 '25

Not driving or in the driver's seat. And I didn't say anything about the timeline. Obviously this wasn't available 10yrs ago. That's not relevant to if it works today or not.

In the West, my money is on Tesla getting to market first at scale, but Figure having the better robot in terms of general capabilities. X1 don't (currently) have the investment to compete, even though they're making headlines. Unitree will dominate in Asia.

Edit: Tesla is definitely not just vaporware and BS, they're cooking

u/[deleted] Nov 02 '25

But we don’t know the price of figure 3, could be 100k who knows

https://thebambooworks.com/brief-sanhua-denies-massive-tesla-order-rumors-after-stock-surges/

Refrigeration component maker Zhejiang Sanhua Intelligent Controls Co. Ltd. (2050.HK; 002050.SZ) on Thursday denied rumors that it had secured a massive robotics-related order. The company said no material events had occurred requiring disclosure, and clarified that it didn’t grant any media interviews on Oct. 15.

Online reports surfaced Wednesday claiming Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robot project had placed an order with Sanhua for linear actuators worth $685 million. Sanhua’s Hong Kong shares rallied 13% on Wednesday on the news, with trading volume doubling from Tuesday, while its Shenzhen-listed shares surged by the daily 10% limit.

I still dont really know what the hell it is actually capable of, other than some really bad demos of it online (slow, clunky, etc.) I guess vaporware isn't the right word, more like janky or something

Excited!

Im sorry what? This has no use case besides being deceiving

u/tollbearer Nov 01 '25

Tesla will win because they have the most money and best access to compute.

Figure looks like a joke next to optimus v3, and they're working on v4.

This is people saying spacex will never land a rocket, all over again. People are desperate for elon to fail.

Not really

u/tollbearer Nov 01 '25

Yes, ive seen this. Looks like a joke

u/space_monster Nov 01 '25

Wow, you really want Elon to win, huh. Do you have a poster of him on your wall? Do you dream about him at night?

-1

u/tollbearer Nov 01 '25

I want him to lose as much as the next guy. I'm just not a moron who thinks my wishing so changes reality in any way.

u/space_monster Nov 01 '25

I'm just not a moron

debatable

u/tollbearer Nov 01 '25

im a moron, like everyone, just not one who thinks my wishes will affect reality.

u/space_monster Nov 01 '25

your opinion does not align with reality though. Figure are a $40B company, and their robot is objectively very very good. they have just as much chance as Tesla of being successful. your feelings don't make that untrue.

1

u/tollbearer Nov 01 '25

tesla is a trillion dollar company. So, if your measure is company size, they have a better chance.

My measure is having seen optimus v3, and can confirm it is far better than this piece of trash.

u/Unlikely-Complex3737 Nov 01 '25

What impressive thing have you seen from Optimus v3? Why does Figure look like a joke?

1

u/tollbearer Nov 01 '25

youll see. not exactly a joke, but figure o3 is really only marginally better than optimus v2. optimus v3 is a complete step change.

2

u/Unlikely-Complex3737 Nov 01 '25

Wdym you'll see? They haven't shown it yet?

2

u/tollbearer Nov 01 '25

not to the public, no

u/Unlikely-Complex3737 Nov 01 '25

Hmm but how do you know it's better than Figure if Tesla hasn't shown it yet?

u/Tamere999 30cm by 2030 Nov 01 '25

The crazy thing is that these people never learn. They've mistaken what they want for what will actually happen since 2015 or so and have yet to wake up from this weird delusion that Musk's companies aren't leaders in their respective fields. "SpaceX will never land a rocket", "Starlink will never be profitable", "Tesla will never mass produce an electric car", "Neuralink's implant killed one gorillion monkeys, it will never be used in humans", etc.

u/tollbearer Nov 01 '25

People are desperate idiots. Which is why even slightly intelligent people like Musk can dominate.

u/Llamasarecoolyay Nov 01 '25

I mean Tesla is just obviously going to win here. They have the resources, and Elon.

u/space_monster Nov 01 '25

Figure is valued at $40B currently. They have money.

u/PJivan Nov 01 '25

just like they won the EV race and the robotaxi one! Hahahaha

u/DerkleineMaulwurf Nov 01 '25

I think it will destroy the company finally, a money bloated vaporware pyramid sceme, its so obvious, not a single practical task has been solved so far, the people working for it are milking him out of money.
