What a long, beautiful trip its been. 2012 is the year we test on the road. I am actually getting a little nervous about the battery of tests and some of the risks involved. Safety will be our first priority and we will proceed slowly, taking months to complete the full list of tests planned. I know all of it is going to be blast and these years of planning and saving and designing and building are going to become a wonderful initial product by Paxterra, the Photon S3. Already there are variants and add-ons on the design boards and the next few years will be very exciting ones at Paxterra.
Things seem to be heating up in both Nigeria and the Middle East so fuel is liable to spike or become rationed in the next few months, or sooner. I remember my first year of driving, 1973. Suddenly, there were long lines for rationed amounts and you could only buy gas every other day. This wasn't really that long ago but many have forgotten how paralyzed we are in the US without gasoline. I expect one reason early adopters will choose the Photon S3 is the security of fuel supply since you can easily manufacture your own with increasingly cost-effective solar panels, wind turbines, and micro-hydroelectric plants.
Spring will bring wind in the face as we test, test, test the design. Stay tuned, we shall prevail.
