Overview

Core tracking metrics

First-screen signals only: capacity, reducer production, deployment KPI and price floor.

Key metrics
Strong S4

Optimus capacity

1M / yearFremont designed line

Tesla Q1 2026 update disclosed a first-generation Fremont Optimus line designed for 1M robots/year, plus a Texas long-term 10M/year designed line.

Designed capacity is not actual production, utilization, accepted units, customer demand, revenue or margin.

S4 filing

Leaderdrive reducer production

433,655harmonic reducers produced in 2025

Leaderdrive's 2025 annual report disclosed 433,655 harmonic reducers produced and 425,158 sold.

Supplier production does not disclose humanoid-specific customer mix, design wins, ASP, margin durability or downstream ROI.

S4 official KPI

Figure deployment KPI

1,250+ / 90,000+runtime hours / parts handled

Figure's BMW deployment disclosed 10-hour weekday shifts, 1,250+ runtime hours, 90,000+ parts and contribution to 30,000+ BMW X3 vehicles.

Deployment KPI is not contract value, customer ROI, repeat order economics, intervention rate or robot gross margin.

S3/S4 product signal

Unitree price floor

$4,900R1 AIR starting price

Unitree's productized humanoid line creates a cost-access curve across R1, G1 and H2 price points.

Low price is not reliability, industrial uptime, customer ROI, shipment volume, support burden or margin proof.

Evidence step line

1

Productized access

Unitree R1 AIR from $4.9K

Cost-access signal expands experimentation and developer adoption.

Price does not prove industrial deployment economics.

2

Customer-site KPI

Figure BMW 1,250+ runtime hours

Named industrial site and measured task execution.

Still missing contract value, repeat order and ROI/payback.

3

Supplier volume

Leaderdrive 425,158 reducers sold

Filing-backed upstream volume and revenue acceleration.

Not humanoid-specific OEM proof.

4

Designed capacity

Optimus Fremont 1M/year designed line

Named manufacturing-scale capacity intent.

Not actual output, utilization, revenue or margin.
