So they hit the 65K reservation self-made threshold. It means nothing. The DOE, nor any other potential investor, made a commitment for funding. This was a self-imposed number. They could have said 50K or 100K. There's no commitment tied to it other than $7,300 price.
That is incorrect; the 65K was a number worked out between the ATVM people and EM; why they picked that number, or what it represents was never disclosed by either party. The signed commitment was also part of those meeting between ATVM and EM.

"TAX" time is coming up. Maybe after that there will be a big jump.
There is bound to be a little recovery, that should last well past the 65k offer. But I would have to say it will take more than that for any substantial increase in the reservation rate. The ATVM would about do it to trigger everything else. A major funding from elsewhere would as well.

Completion of the crash testing or start of the 100 pilot build might be a partial trigger point for investor funding, but not the ATVM. Other than the 65k goal, something like having sales of the Engine to other industry, something like that, of a profit generating business operating, might contribute to the ATVM.

Anyway, it looks like it will be very quiet on the eastern front until something substantial happens, something better than reaching the 65k.
