Part 10/13:
Figure AI has been raising capital repeatedly, with recent funding rounds supplementing their development efforts. They project manufacturing capacity of 10,000 to 12,000 units per month in the near term, with aims to hit 100,000 units over four years—a figure that, if achieved, could position them as a major player in industrial humanoid robotics.
Tesla, however, benefits from robust cash flow and is unlikely to require additional capital injections, giving them an advantage in reinvestment flexibility. Their approach appears to be more restrained but strategic, focusing on iterative upgrades and cost reduction.
