RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:359Kumbaya and all, but let's not pretend that Mr. P has learned anything. "Imminent" ABE has been announced numerous times over a period much longer than any possible definition of "imminent". "Profitable this year" is one that, if he had learned a lesson, he would have decided to get "profitable", before using the word "profitable" in a near term prediction.
Whether he's learned anything or not, who cares, if it turns out the product now works and large operators will buy it. I'm happy that "there's a chance". Could've got out even at 50 this week, but let it ride as they say. I've long felt that there will be zero uptake in North America without government credits / rebates. Not exactly the same, but look at Tesla sales when the rebate was cancelled. I'm not sure the financing solution overcomes the inertia for joe average independent operator, absent government incentives. Maybe a huge operator will have an innovative thinker that does the math and concludes there's a few points to shave off the margins with adoption. I would have hoped that the financing solution announcement would be followed by an immediate reveal of a huge sale. That is, isn't it nice to imagine a big fleet negotiating a bulk buy, but not pulling the trigger. Then you say, what if we could find you a deal to basically derisk it for you. And your buyer says, well then you have a deal. And, that buyer is????????????Dare to dream.
