Why the rephrasing I wonder?
Lensman scale: 7.250000001

The changes tell me that they don't expect an EESU delivery in the first half of 2010. "The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one." -- George Bernard Shaw |

I'm not really that surprised. I would suspect that LightEVs would be at the bottom of the pecking order for EESUs in terms of delivery. Muftee Lensman scale rating = the closing price for ZNN times two Holding not so steady at over 2 LouLous I know jack about electronics and chemistry. That's not my role here. |

So Zenn gets theirs before LEV...sooner before later? Doesn't sound like much certainty in the delivery date. Thanks BTV for the blog |

So is the glass half empty (second half of 2010) or half full (first half 2010) . . . or neither? Lensman 8.5 |

DW already privately stated the production line wouldn't be finished before the first quarter 2010. LEVs has to wait until ZMC receives first delivery. Given DW's poor history of predicting commercial production, I suggest another delay is not unlikely. Bill Nye says limits for a dielectric are simply what has been demonstrated to date. |

I'm outta here. Been watching EESTOR, the cheerleaders and the ZENN get-rich-quick peeps for years now. I'm smelling some serious BS. I'll keep my day job and save my $.

My guess, and this is only a guess, is that someone at EEStor thought the LightEVs statement sounded too negative. EEStor would like the public to think there's a chance it will deliver EESUs earlier than mid-2010. The revised statement is more vague, and leaves open the possibility of initial delivery earlier in the year... as well as later in the year!

It also changes the production prototype from first half to 2010. Maybe they want to indicae it will be after July? |

Zenn is certainly first in line. How much so? a month? a quarter? From this its impossible to say when Zenn is scheduled to get their EESU's, but It sounds like anytime from now through June...

"Zenn first", "Zenn first". That's contradictory to the LM thread discussions where people try to act like LM has a secret factory with multiple production lines already cranking out utility scale eesu's in secret. So which is it, the first mini pilot line still isn't finished, OR LM is launching a whole division based on eesu's with top secret production well under way in the top secret facility? Everything I post here is opinion unless I quote a source. |
