Which means that it will be late half the time.

And

but whatever like there is like a law of gases expansion that applies to schedules like whatever given whatever schedule you like if you if you said we're going to do this something in like five years which to me is like infinity time um it will expand to fully available schedule and it will take five years um you know like there's like this there's a physical limit a

physics will limit how fast you can do certain things.

Scaling up manufacturing, there's a rate at which you can move the atoms and scale manufacturing.

That's why you can't instantly make a million or something, million units a year or something.

You've got to design the manufacturing line, you've got to bring it up, you've got to ride the S-curve of production.

So...

Yeah, I guess, like, what can I say that's actually helpful to people?

I think, generally, a maniacal sense of urgency is a very big deal.

And you want to have an aggressive schedule, and you want to figure out what the limiting factor is at any point in time and help the team address that limiting factor.

MARK BLYTHER- Yeah, we talked about it all the way in the beginning of the company.

I mean, I have these very detailed engineering reviews weekly.

That's maybe a very unusual level of granularity.

I don't know anyone who runs a company, or at least a manufacturing company, that goes into the level of detail that I go into.

I have a pretty good understanding of what's actually going on because we go through things in detail.

And I'm a big believer in skip level meetings where the individuals, instead of having the person that reports to me say things, it's everyone that reports to them says something in the technical review.

And there can't be advanced preparation.

So otherwise you're going to get, you know, glazed.

As they say these days.
