Adrian,

Your Tesla comparison makes an unwarranted assumption. Tesla has professional management, an established supply chain and a stable production schedule. PP has none of that. It functions more as a sideline than a normal business. If people would picture them as grand artists who will paint the picture when they paint the picture, then that would be closer to the mark. They have been acting this way for a long while; it's just that someone else was assembling the units for them before the move back to Canada. The problem for them at this point is that if someone else develops even a comparable product let alone a better one, they are finished. There are any number of double conversion UPS devices at far lower prices on the market. The issue is that those are built for scientific / industrial use having uncertain enviro conditions (which require internal fans to protect them). Assuming a controlled room temperature ventilated environment would greatly simplify their design and with those companies manufacturing expertise could probably do a good job. So only if the market remains very small can PP stagger on. But then they will continue to lack the capital to hire some production expert as you suggested. But yes, more reality to their estimates would benefit them rather than hurt them more at this point.
