How to read this table: "Company-stated" ≠ independently verified. We flag that status in the detailed sections below.
We rate each company (0–100) using: Availability (40) · Safety (20) · Task Proficiency (20) · Support (10) · Price Clarity (10).
These are editorial scores to help readers compare "how close to your living room" each effort is, not an engineering benchmark.
Preorders open with a company-stated plan for U.S. deliveries in 2026. Paths: $20,000 Early Access (ownership, priority 2026) or $499/mo subscription (later shipment). Deposit $200, refundable.1X
No public consumer preorder/price as of November 2025. 03 is framed as the home-oriented production design, but there's no retail program yet.Figure
Not for sale; official AI/Robotics pages lack price or consumer channel. ~2026 timing has been stated by the CEO in media/earnings contexts, but isn't a product-page commitment.Tesla
Advertises autonomous chores (tidying, dishes, etc.) with "Expert Mode" teleoperation when needed—this is important for reliability during early home deployments.1X
Pages present 03 as autonomous home help; research posts (Helix, Go-Big) describe the AI stack enabling generalization. Treat household capability claims as roadmap until broadly demonstrated in homes.Figure
Demos show locomotion and manipulation progress; internal use first implies capability hardening before any consumer promise.Tesla
Bottom line: In the near term, expect teleop-assist and constrained task menus anywhere a company is targeting real homes; fully autonomous "do-anything" is still R&D.
No mainstream consumer shipments yet. 1X is taking preorders with a stated 2026 U.S. delivery. Figure and Tesla have no consumer sales as of today.
Only 1X publishes consumer pricing options ($20k Early Access; $499/mo subscription). Others have no official pricing on their sites.
Expect constrained menus and teleop fallback during early home deployments (tidying, dish loading, laundry handling). Fully autonomous "everything" is still R&D.
Because preorders and press posts are not independent verification. We surface the claim source so readers can judge confidence.
