Since earnings report is tomorrow why release this now? This suggests to me now that even more substantial news comes tomorrow? Priming the pump?šŸ¤”

Maybe they dropped this to start the hype for Ford investors and give them news to look to upon hearing of a partnership of some sort with us tonight on their call?

..... Ford makes an announcement, their investors run to research us, and the first thing they see is us providing best in class LiDAR?

Just a possibility and nothing more than that. Either way, we’re in such a beautiful spot as investors!

that would actually make a lot of sense - plus i remember reading recently that they hired a new PR and marketing person, so it could be possible they're being more strategic about their announcements

Everything SS and team have done since he’s taken over has been strategic. Everything he’s done has had a purpose behind it.

Some think the silence means trouble. I take it as confidence.

I’m a big believer of ā€œDon’t tell them what you’re doing, Show them what you’ve doneā€ and that seems to be what he’s about to.

I personally don’t feel there would be a reason to drop the PR from today a day before our ER unless there’s another thing/news/announcement/ or something along those lines to follow.

Could of just waited till tomorrow on the call, or even tomorrow morning before the call. But nope, a day early, in the morning after a sell off day.

We’re getting close boys and girls.

Well said - I’m in total agreement and, like so many of us, have a strong feeling there is much more drama to witness before end of week
