Yo guys, he changed the argument again. He's saying it's not financially smart to make this as a business.

Rob has proved it on paper. Did he quit his day job? No, not at all. That's why we have a wait list almost 100 strong. Would it be a great source of income? Maybe not.
But he makes a fair profit on each one (I hope), and the customers are pleased. He doesn't have to sell his house because he kept it small scale.
Would it make for the next big boom in the FI market? Maybe not. Does it work? Yes. Is it working as a side hustle? Yes. Are car manufacturers looking into it as well? Yes.
So the application works, is tested, is proven and can be improved. The demand is there, and the automotive industry is looking into it.
Maybe it's just a flash in the pan? Maybe you're right and you shouldn't sell your house to get in on the ground floor, like so many solar companies did back in the day. Maybe speculations are being a little to optimistic.
But there's something good here. It's improving too, which is a good sign.
However, where Rob is right now does work well for him, and for us. I hope you see that at least.
I think you're seeing it as we all want these ESC kits to be the next BitCoin and are as fanatic about it as the cryptocurrency evangelists are about their digital wallets. We aren't really.
But the market is increasing and picking up, and that's what excites us. We aren't making false demand or trying to fit the ESC in wherever we can regardless of usefulness just to make it into the next big thing.
We're just pleased that it works well, serves a decent purpose, and with advancements in the future may be a viable option for a wider audience.
