## Summary

Unitree's new robot "Kung Fu Legend" was billed in a promo video as able to lift a car bare-handed, but on October 22 at its own conference it performed a side flip and failed to stick the landing, with one mechanical leg detaching on the spot and flying off. The next day Unitree Technology hit the daily limit up on the STAR Market, with market value surpassing 250 billion. The article also cites Musk saying that although Tesla's Optimus is already in production, about 10,000 details still need tuning, and external deliveries will be pushed to the end of 2027.
