The T800 is a 173 cm, 75 kg biped that opened pre-orders on JD.com in 2025-12 at RMB 180,000 to 360,000 depending on edition. EngineAI reports first production batches leaving its Shenzhen line in 2026-05 and a Zhengzhou line in 2026-07, with a target of 4,000 to 5,000 units for 2026. No customer is named, and the Luxshare link is as investor. Outside China the company quotes on request; the older USD list (reported by one outlet from USD 40,500, uncorroborated) is reportedly no longer published.
Our verdict
Genuinely orderable in China and genuinely in production, which few rivals can say, but nothing about named use or Western purchase is verifiable yet. Watchlist; first to move if a dealer price or customer appears.
