While it is almost certainly the case that by the time you take delivery in or about 2013, the most critical questions surrounding the E-Cat will have been answered, it is also almost certainly the case that Rossi will reach the 10,000 customer waiting list before those questions have been answered. That is his threshold for the requiring money. I don't see how Rossi can provide a customer-controlled pre-sale test for each of 10,000 customers. Therefore, he will be accepting money in advance of the most critical questions about the E-Cat being answered.
