## How DEPLOY assessed this

Claim made June 2026. NEO pre-orders are open ($20K purchase / $499/mo lease). 1X opened US plant to build 10,000 home robots in 2026. However, WSJ confirmed current units are teleoperated. Whether "full autonomy" will be achieved by year-end remains to be seen. https://www.briefs.co/news/1x-robots-neo/
