Apologies to all
When posting early this morning, during my first cup of joe, I never envisioned what a firestorm I would unleash.
Larry, while I and 'add' may have agreed that Lev said 'batteries' while he pointed to the video, where the 'cells' were coming off the line, it is certain in retrospect that what we saw was a rate faster than one every 15 seconds, for the laptop cells. I did not reflect on this aspect when I posted, and for this I apologize to all.
As I mentioned earlier, Lev may also be so close to the numbers on paper that he 'knows' the relevant production rate for a particular end user in terms of batteries rather than cells. For some applications, from the small cell line, there is no distinction between batteries and cells. Why don't you call him for clarification?
Short of this, I propose we let this issue go until we get a delivery under a PO, and then we can argue at will about how fast we're making money. |
