[Hotscoots]

Wow ! Paul Elio interview and the Republican debate on the same day . The popcorn will be popping .

 

[Ekh]

I know which event will be more significant, and it's not going to be on TV.

They may touch on financing, but from the e mail, I think the subject will be about changing the world.

 

[JNR]

I am going to try and watch, but I've never used google+ hangouts yet, so I can't promise anything. As of a few minutes ago only 17 people have signed up to watch.

Silas Sunday's question was first and it was asking when progress photos will be posted. No real answer, just that we will get them

I can't get that at this location, so yes post what you can. Maybe others are in that same state.

I'm not good at note taking, so take the rest of my notes with a grain of salt, the Q and A's are all my summarizations, so some accuracy could be lost:

Gary Dunn's (fb regular) question next, when will Start Engine ask for the money that we initially pledged: as soon as they can, which means maybe 45-60 days from date of application, that is a guess though. Elio should be applying in a week or so.

Ekh's question next, how does the 27 mill fit into the whole picture? Paul gave some numbers about what has been raised so far, I didn't write those down. The end result: $200 million more to go, $186 million is possible from the AVTM loan, there are other (edit: 'credible an likely' - originally stated by me as 'unlikely' - took me three times of hearing it to really hear the difference between an and un) $ streams and because they are (edit: strategic and therefore) Paul did not want to reveal. Paul mentions he has 3 possible paths, so I assume the third was the money from equipment at the plant.

Interviewer is Tesla fan so asked about electric: Paul said, as we would expect, in the future that is an obvious option.

Now going on and on about what Reg A is.

Lots of technical difficulties at the end, kind of awkward. Interview over now

Between this and the Reddit AmA issues when Paul was on there, I'm not sure he should hang around Internet technologies. It certainly felt like they cut it off early due to the technical difficulties.
