Expecting Tesla to build something as good as Atlas in 1 year is maybe demanding a bit too much? Boston Dynamics have 30 years of experience and 500 people employed currently. I'd guess if you give Tesla 30 years they could probably do something decent. Personally I think there's something like a 90% chance Tesla will give up on the bot after 'almost' getting it to work for the next 10 years. Would love to be proven wrong!

Obviously there's a really good economic incentive to work on labor replacing robots of any kind, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of startups in this space in the next 5-10 years.

I am actually a little bit surprised on why we are not seeing more kitchen robots in restaurants. Ten robots flipping burgers and assembling them and one 18 year old to hit the emergency break every now and then to remove the mustard stain on the depth camera of robot #4. (Actually robot restaurants probably wouldn't have humanoid bots, but look more like an industrial food assembly lines that served the food on plates instead of cartons that get deep frozen at the end.)
