A good follow up post on Reddit:

Now for some information that might make my previous speculative posts, slightly less speculative.

Foxconn has said that they are currently in negotiations with traditional automakers interested in the CDMS services. I've posted a number of times that a Foxconn plane is in LA and that is likely proof that Foxconn is indeed in negotiations in the US with someone. And that the last time that plane was in the US for more than a couple of days, was last Feb 26th through April 9th, when they were likely working out the details of the Lordstown plant sale.

How do I know it's a Foxconn plane? And how do I know it's at Van Nuys Airport?

ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) data is data that's transmitted by a planes transponder. A website called 'ADS-B Exchange' allows you to lookup transponder data by registration/tail number. You can't see where a plane is when it's not flying, but you can start on today and keep looking back to the last data that was transponder, and you will know where a plane is now. Keep going back and you will be able to tell when it got there, and where it came from.

I found this article from when Foxconn was working on the Mt Pleasant deal in Wisconsin.

The beginning of the tail number specifies where it's registered. Both China and Taiwan us "B-". Going to ADS-B Exchange and looking at the last recorded transponder data for B-99988 and you will see the last recorded transponder data for the plane was at Van Nuys Airport on 2023-03-01, so the plane has been sitting at Van Nuys Airport since March 1st, that's 7 weeks. And no, the plane is not normally in the US, it was in the US for a few days in January and the last time it was in the US was for the 6 weeks in 2022 before the Lordstown plant sale.

So, what does this have to do with a USPS or a DOD contract? Nothing really, but Foxconn has more than 1 plane!

Here is a photo of another Foxconn plane, it's tail number is B-90609.

So what is the last recorded transponder data for this plane? It's been in Appleton Wisconsin since March 22nd. What's in Appleton Wisconsin? Not much, but it is the closest international airport to Oshkosh Wisconsin. And Oshkosh Wisconsin is the location of Oshkosh Defense who was awarded the USPS NGDV contract and is a well established defense contractor specializing in military vehicles.

Foxconn has $30M+ Gulfstream 5's sitting in both LA and Oshkosh Wisconsin. Can we be certain what they are doing? No, but we can speculate. When Foxconn has flown them into the US for extended periods of time, they were to finalize the legalities of contracts. The last time B-99988 was in the US for a long time it was, like I said just prior to the plant sale. The time before that it was in the US for a number of weeks it was just prior to the signing of "The PEAR Prjoect agreement" ( [https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1720990/000119312521163828/d14073dex101.htm](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1720990/000119312521163828/d14073dex101.htm) ).

We may not know for certain what is going on, but I think it's likely that whatever it is, it's "in the lawyers hands" and it's likely very good for LMC.
