Xpeng has completed its first robot prototype developed to automotive standards, marking a crucial step toward mass-producing humanoid robots this year.

Eve Energy will invest about RMB 1 billion ($140 million) in this sodium-ion battery project, with an annual production capacity planned at 2 GWh.

"Other companies in the West are weak," Musk said.

"Tesla's robot can't even do this -- how could Xpeng possibly make it?"

Xpeng aims to achieve mass production of advanced robots by the end of 2026.
