First integrated US humanoid factory enters production
1X opens its Hayward, California factory for full-scale NEO production. The 58,000 sq ft site is the first vertically-integrated humanoid factory in the United States, with 200+ workers and an annual capacity that starts at 10,000 units and is planned to scale beyond 100,000 by 2027. Motors, batteries, sensors, structural parts and transmission systems are all designed and built in-house — a deliberate hedge against humanoid supply-chain risk concentrated in Asia, and a faster iteration loop for hardware and AI updates.
