Tesla Bot Gen 4 CRUSHES Unitree G1 as Elon Musk Adds 5,000 New Homemaker Tasks!

Tesla Bot Gen 4 is making headlines as it goes head-to-head with its biggest challenger, the Unitree G1. Elon Musk has revealed that Optimus can now perform more than 5,000 homemaker tasks, pushing expectations even higher. He even predicted that within the next three years, demand for the robot will skyrocket as people rush to place their orders. Optimus is designed to work up to 20 hours a day and is expected to launch at under $20,000.

While many believe Tesla will dominate the U.S. market, the Unitree G1 could still become the global favorite. The logic is simple: if two robots deliver similar capabilities, most buyers won’t spend more than necessary. With its lower price tag, the G1 has a real chance to lead worldwide.

Currently priced at just $16,000 — around $4,000 less than Optimus — the Unitree G1 offers impressive performance with movement speeds up to 3 m/s. Both robots leverage AI for various tasks, including home chores, industrial labor, and even rescue scenarios. The G1, often called the “Chinese robot,” is earning widespread praise for offering advanced technology at a more accessible price.

However, Elon Musk maintains that Optimus will eventually surpass all competitors — especially the G1 — due to four major advantages he says Unitree cannot match. According to Musk, Tesla’s bot will be capable of everything from cooking and cleaning to assisting in surgeries and even contributing to poverty reduction, areas where the G1 still falls short.

So, which robot delivers more value in everyday life? What strengths and weaknesses define them? And why is Musk so confident Tesla will come out on top? Welcome to Tesla Car World! Today, we’ll compare both humanoids side by side for the clearest breakdown of what each one offers. The Unitree G1 proves how far humanoid robots have come, yet it still carries some notable limitations — including ongoing concerns about user data security.
