Speaking of Marketing:
Humor flag on.
There’s a morning radio host here in Norfolk. Every time there’s a news item about some vice arrest or public drunkeness, he adds to the story: “… and they didn’t say which radio station the suspect sold advertsing for.”
Humor flag off.
Can I quote you on paras 3 & 4? (Philosophically that is, non-attributed, “someone somewhere said”.)
I would like to see a chronology with the main milestones (final BoM, 1st prototype, design validation and qualification, first of series, serial production validation, first shipment, last pre-order shipment, etc.) updated according to the progress at each major change.
Perhaps the “Q3” deadline would seem more realistic than it is now (with a maximum of 3 months between the BoM and the first shipment…).
