Frequently asked questions
Answers with careful wording. No direct claim on price, stock or lease availability.
Can I already lease Tesla Optimus or Figure 02?
Not directly through Robotleasen. These models are listed as showcase and market exploration in the index. Availability differs per region and manufacturer programme.
Which humanoid is more practical for businesses?
That is not yet clear-cut. For practical use, task, safety, service and local availability remain more important than how well known the model is.
