Doesn't actually say it's mass produced either - just "Mass-Production Ready", whatever that means.

- onetimemanytime 8y agoThey need a market first, no? They can't just produce 100k of them and hope to sell. To me it means that thy have all the know-how plus parts and manufacturer ready to go at this price part. Of course the could be lying...er...overly optimistic and hope to get them ready after signing a contract, ala Bill Gates with DOS.
- syntaxing 8y agoDepends on what market they're trying to get into. For consumers they might be away to get it. But for industry, there is an expectation of inventory which is why it's tough sometimes to have a hardware startup. Even then, it usually makes sense to make them in batches of 1000+ rather then made to order due to economy of scale.
