FMK, the sole focus of my observation/concern is that 1800 cells per day at $2.50/Wh do NOT add up to breaking even. The math does not support that claim/assumption.

Hopefully, however, Lev meant batteries, not cells. Hopefully, the line can crank out a LOT more than the minimum breakeven number. (I think it will HAVE to in order to achieve profitability.) Do we have any public comments from management on the actual volume expected? Or do we just have official statements on the breakeven point?

P.S. IMO, 8 hours production per day to start would be solid. 16 hours/day would be fantastic, but optimistic. But 23 hours per day? Come on, FMK, that's unrealistic for any production line, much less a start-up line for a new technology.
