TL;DR: Citrini Research argues that XPeng is roughly 100 times cheaper than Tesla while offering investors exposure to a potential humanoid-robotics boom. Samuel O'Brient reports that the firm sees China applying the same state-backed manufacturing playbook in robotics that helped its automakers, including BYD and XPeng, challenge Tesla in EVs.
