Unitree H2-X car-lift demo debunked: geometry analysis shows it merely tipped a gutted balanced shell

Unitree's H2-X "Kung Fu Legend Guardian" promo claims 8 hours of endurance and shows the humanoid appearing to lift a car's front end.
@GoingBallistic5 debunked it with frame-by-frame geometry: superimposing two images and applying the perpendicular bisector of a chord theorem locates the pivot slightly forward of the B-pillar, not at the rear wheels — meaning the center of gravity sits right on the fulcrum. Given the junkyard setting and visible damage, it's likely an engine-less gutted shell resting on its front wheels with a hidden fulcrum, rear wheels already off the ground. As the robot tips the front up, the rear drops, even bouncing.
Conclusion: the robot didn't lift a car — it tipped a balanced shell, implying strength it doesn't have.
