Tesla is betting on a multipurpose humanoid robots. That is the main problem here, it is difficult to make just a single robot that can do everything, instead of a line of different robots for very specific use cases.
Their robots aren’t necessarily bad, but the questions are how competitive is their price and how much applications are they being bought and used for?
