Figure 03 wins for enterprise deployment
Figure 03 edges Optimus Gen 3 in 2026 because of its BMW and Mercedes factory contracts — real commercial deployments that Optimus hasn't matched yet. Tesla has unmatched manufacturing scale and vertical integration advantages, but Figure 03's purpose-built enterprise software stack and human-sized form factor designed specifically for factory stations give it the edge for buyers buying today.
