Yes its time to start dropping some news and delivering for sure now. Its 2023 & Legislation kicks in soon so they need to make up their minds now.
Trouble is in the real World these OEMs are a law unto themselves i bet. Policy changes, design changes, Supplier changes b4 procurement start messing about.
Quote us on 1 million units PA, no make it 2. No make it 5 million. No sorry split it over 5 models, no sorry now 3 models, sorry make it 4 now.
Poor old Mr SEE sales team must be pulling his/her hair out ( If PC i should add she/male/it or whatever else people use nowadays?)
How many features do you want?
Oh make it all 28, no can you quote for 20, no make it 25 now.
Thanks for your quote but can we change it again via a different Tier 1 supplier as they a bit cheaper ive been told by management now.
If i up the order to 10million units can you tweak it another 5%? I will be your best friend. Company B & C said they can match that extra discount.....
I can imagine its a right ole nightmare atm, as that's the reality more than likely.
What we have on our side now is time. The clocks ticking. They need a solution and need it pretty quick If they dont want to be in a position of not having stock to sell once its law if not compliant.
Iam as frustrated as most on here as 10yrs this Year been constantly adding when funds available. I want my jam like everyone else.
Iam hoping News drops sooner rather than later. We will win our share as all the posts are covered with various suppliers pointing OEMs to us Iam sure. We have all the bases covered to give us the best chance of being the Winner iam sure.
Next 12 months should be good, hoping really really good but really good will be fine.
A buyer could pop up anytime, a RNS can drop anytime but until it does......
This time next year Rodders, this time next Year, Cushty.....
