I understand frustration with the silence, though I don't think they can harp on about it too much at the minute, and I'm not sure how beneficial it would be. EE is a great platform to show off for AFC, though that time comes when the race starts/is nearing the start date. they should make the best use of their air time. I don't believe AFC's future plans lay too heavily on this type of market, this could perhaps act as a springboard in to the car charging/electric racing market etc if this route proves to be successful. If they were to continue to mention EE continuosly now, it may seem a bit desperate IMO, and besides, they have other more significant demonstrations coming up, with larger markets.
EE is still a little way off, and the hype will probably begin after Christmas. Yes there are logistical matters and time frames, though we have to imagine that these are all being managed in the background, the organisers of this event have plenty of experience in these fields. Of course it would be nice with updates, though we can't expect an RNS about nothing. I'm pretty sure the management teams at EE and the other projects AFC have signed up for, know how to keep on top of their chosen suppliers, and as of now, the updates from EE suggest all is running on time.
Although we can't expect a nothing RNS, it does annoy me that they would create the CEO blog, and just leave it empty, this could be used to prove that AB is alive to the doubters, and not spending 30mil down the pub! I'd personally just like the occasional positive update on there, we're busy behind the scenes and excited about the year ahead for example.
I'm sitting in the background most of the time now, waiting until January, though as always, regularly checking for any news etc.
