They could fight as early as today. They are just too expensive compared to human lives, from the perspective of the governments.

How long will their power cord be?

Two feet? Lol

The average human needs 2,000 kcal to stay alive (2.32 KWh).

Military Recommended Dietary Allowances (MRDA): The MRDA suggests a baseline of around 3600 calories per day for operational rations to meet the energy demands of military units (4.184 KWh).

So your average humanoid military combat suit/drone needs a 4 KWh pack which can be swapped out and recharged.

Is this something good or evil?

Taking this to a logical conclusion, what would then be able to stop a single billionaire with access to almost unlimited resources from building his own army of humanoid robots and taking over a country by force?

I shudder to think of what Elon Musk would do with this tech.

Detaining the billionaire and forcing him to stop. Or artillery and airstrikes.

2030 is bs and Elon will be dead when it will be possible.

Still a scary thought tho..

Elon, unfortunately, will not be the last billionaire. One with even less of a moral compass will very likely come up, since we haven't put Musk's head on the fence post yet as a warning to his kind.
