Elon's Tesla Optimus vs Figure 3: The Humanoid Robot Showdown

Two humanoid robots walk into your house—a quiet helper and a flashy fighter—and we ask which you’d actually want.
We break down what today’s leading models can really do in the home—cleaning, sorting, recharging themselves—and what still feels like demo magic.

Then we compare the philosophies behind them: data-trained brains and dexterous hands vs raw agility and massive manufacturing muscle.
Big picture, we debate whether this is the “ChatGPT moment” for robots and where they’ll show up first—from your kitchen to factories and hotels.
