Year Five

Soon I will have completed the fourth year of development on the Paxterra Photon. While this has not been a constant effort it has dominated my life. In the next few months we will begin the first on-road testing. This is very exciting to me.

I just read that it takes a major car company four years to go from the drawing board to a production vehicle. In that light, I'd say Paxterra has done well given the lack of resources and time that have impacted the project. 2010 is the year to seek outside capital. I think our research has revealed that a ground-up vehicle design is not as daunting as one is lead to believe. It's still no cakewalk either. There is a lot involved in getting it right and we still have a quite a way to go to get to production but I am more confident than ever that the Photon will meet the specifications that I wrote some time ago: FAST, FUN, SAFE, AFFORDABLE.

It is time to share the vision with others and actively seek out funding. Here we go!
