Our take
NEO has a dated reservation offer; this catalog has no verified consumer purchase path or public price for Optimus. 1X lists $20,000 Early Access ownership or $499/month with a refundable $200 deposit, while still advertising the start of US deliveries in 2026. Its initial autonomy and scheduled remote-expert assistance need to fit your expectations and privacy requirements. A reservation does not establish immediate availability or an independently tested, fully autonomous home helper.
