“The Slate Truck Will Fail” - (Or will it?)

[Paul Rodgers]

SO? they will not suddenly turn on the factory at full-bore on Friday Jan-2nd 2026.
Between now, and whenever it really happens, they'll hand-build a bunch of prototype / demo units. Thats what we are all eager to see at car shows, races, "reveal" events, and so on.

Then they'll build and sell a few thousand units in 2026

And hopefully a lot more in 2027

Now I'm starting to realize their main big accomplishment will be to build an economical, dependable, and adaptable factory.

The factory is a machine within itself.
