Really anf0? The above is basically what you’re saying. At least you qualified yourself by noting that you’re a “casual investor”.
The big European companies were previously stalling on battery investment and were willing to wait for the new wave of technology, however, they have all pivoted as a result of the EU demanding that they don’t lose the opportunity to the Asian and US markets.
Whether there is new technology around the corner or not, the production lines globally will be coming online in a big way by 2020.
Adoption of new IP and tweaks to production lines will not be a problem. Think of this like a bottling company, simply a production ready to push out whatever you need in the battery world.
Then on to my MNS’ favourite son, robbo. What’s the valuation of Nachu on an NPV basis? We all know it from the DFS, but why don’t you repeat it for everyone?
Current valuations for gigafactories is US$2bn per GWh capacity. Now you still think Nachu is more valuable?
You also don’t believe NY will fund then factory. Do you even understand the Tesla deal? It’s a fully financed infrastructure deal, so NY owns the infrastructure, all the way down to the plant.
This is common in NY with the government there throwing c.$750m a year at job creation objectives. The counties all compete directly for their slice and the priority job creation projects receive funding.
Beginning of 2018 and we have Shailesh promoting Imperium3 NY at the first Southern Tier Regional Economic Development Committee meeting. Don’t be surprised to see this as a priority project for Broome County and the Southern Tier.
It’s now a race for Cuomo and NY’s dollars for IM3NY and we have a whole NY region backing the project.

Actually all you currently have is hot air valued at pretty much nothing. From memory you don't even own the IP that is owned by a 3rd party. To even get close to your mythical US$2bn per GWh the consortium will need to invest similar amounts of $$$ - it's not simply hey guys I'm going to build a giga factory and instantly you have the net worth of Bill Gates, doesn't work like that!
