@Researchfyi - Good post! I agree completely. I have posted here previously that I think (just a guess) that Li may have plans to use the US facilities for prototyping of new designs and short-run production. It would be like an engineering design center with a business development arm that engages potential customers, provides design consultation and quickly turns around a set of pre-production parts for evaluation. Then, depending on the size of the order, full production is done either at RSM or Eontec.
Additionally, there will be R&D, of course, for developing new processes, which would also be done at the RSM facility. As far as revenue is concerned, that would come from design services and production orders.
