Yeah, if APG is innocent as they claimed, they should not charge ADV until the top is ready (not proto).
Now it comes to some details we may never know. Is it for R&D or hardtops on some invoices?
OK. Million-dollar tools. Checked.
ADV knows. ADV is a scam. What a surprise. But to answer part of the question, does APG receive any deposit from ADV?
A better example would be Tesla made in CN vs US. Guess which side has better quality, fitness :)
US still has the advantage in high-end manufacturing. However, Bronco is a mass-produced vehicle for civil usage. And it is no secret that the US is short of qualified laborers ...

If you want news, you know the protest at long beach port. Part of the problem of broken supply chain is actually caused by US itself. By Made in US, it may add a few more Ks.
Their square-back Targa top seems to be a solid low profile hardtop. Hope they can do it as well.
