Tesla claimed to have a great opportunity to develop this humanoid robot because it could leverage a lot of existing hardware developed for its electric vehicles and software from its self-driving technology. But it wasn’t clear how much effort was put into the project even though Musk claimed it became a top priority at Tesla early last year.
