The subscription is a better deal. I might be willing to pay the $499/month subscription for a few months to try it out, but I'm never dropping $20K upfront on an unproven product.
The learning curve will be exponential. The slow early performance is expected. Every one of those remote-controlled actions is training the AI for the next robot. The utility will improve very quickly.
Not worth the risk of a data breach. The thought of all that highly sensitive home environment data stored on a corporate server is a massive security risk. No matter how much they encrypt it, it's a huge target.
Perfect for elderly assistance someday. Even with human teleop, I can see the value for people with mobility issues. Having a remote expert help is better than no help at all, as long as the privacy is truly secure.
Wait for Tesla Optimus. The $20,000 price tag is insane for a robot that can't fold a sweater without a human helping it via VR. Hard pass until the autonomy improves dramatically.
Amazing design and quiet operation. The aesthetics and the low 22dB noise level are incredible. It looks friendly and non-intimidating. The strength capabilities are also impressive for its weight.
Cool tech, but not "consumer-ready". Watching the demo, it's clear complex tasks are slow and 100% remote-controlled. It's an expensive development platform, not a housekeeper yet. Give it 5 more years.
Teleoperation is a huge privacy nightmare. A human having a live video feed into my home to train the robot is completely unacceptable. This isn't a robot helper, it's a surveillance tool with a soft exterior. I'll wait for a fully autonomous version.
A huge step for the future of home robotics. I'm pre-ordering this immediately. The potential for a real, helpful humanoid assistant outweighs the current limitations. This is a first-generation product and I'm excited to be an early adopter.
It will force competitors to innovate faster. The launch of NEO puts pressure on companies like Tesla and Figure to accelerate their consumer-ready efforts. That's a win for the market overall.
It can carry up to 55 pounds - practical for groceries! Being able to carry a significant load means it could genuinely help with bringing in groceries or heavy items around the house. That's real utility.
I'll wait until the price drops. Once they scale production and the technology matures, the price will inevitably fall to a more reasonable level for the average consumer.
It's a massive data collection initiative. Let's be clear: we are paying $20,000 to become beta testers and provide proprietary, real-world data to a corporation. It's a raw deal.
The quiet operation is a huge plus for a home. A loud, clunky robot would be annoying. The 22 dB noise level makes it a much better fit for a peaceful home environment.
Too much hype for too little performance. The marketing videos promise a lot, but the reality is currently a very slow, human-controlled machine. The gap between expectation and reality is too wide.
A bold vision that deserves support. 1X is taking a big risk by going straight to the consumer market. I admire the company's ambition to push the boundaries of what's possible.
Will it get stuck all the time? My robot vacuum gets stuck under chairs constantly. A tall humanoid robot trying to navigate clutter seems like a recipe for constant operator intervention.
I'm worried about the operator's working conditions. Who is the remote human operator, what are their hours, and how are they being treated? That's an ethical layer I can't ignore.
The $200 deposit is a low-risk bet on the future. Putting down a small deposit to secure a place in line for the first wave of a revolutionary product seems like a reasonable gamble.
It's a huge PR stunt. The whole pre-order and initial press push feels more like a way to secure more investment than a genuine consumer product launch.
