The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
Happened as dated, per the company's release: "HAYWARD, Calif., April 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 1X ... today announced that its NEO Factory in Hayward, California has commenced full-scale production."
Established tech trade press on NEO's price, 2026 US shipping plan and teleoperation-to-autonomy approach, published three days before the factory announcement, so it corroborates the product and the timeline rather than the opening itself.[1]
1X's own product and ordering page, which sets out the NEO launch of 28 October 2025 that the factory is building against; official but about the product rather than the plant.[1]
Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
