So tldr your current business model / situation can not support generation 3 without preordering (/ preordering under another name) or some miracle investment. Under no circumstances could those statements EVER qualify you for running a business model that can get by selling purely out of hand.
You have a transitional arrangement that allows you to prove otherwise and raise the $Ms need to make it happen.
Also imagine.
Also i need hotel but don't have enough money,imposibile is make preorder whit client.(to risky)I go in bank or seek investor.
Bitcoin hardware manufacture,car manufacture,dog shelter,dog shit recycling industry all business is same.
Only scam make preorder and only stupid investor pay preorder without insurance in fast collectible assets (150-200%) .
If i investment in spondoolies i also want share of profit,before investment i need full look in accounting book,full due diligence.
If i don't do this way i am stupid investor and I deserve to lose money.
