Since we didn't hear back from the OP, I guess there was a weenie in the warp-drive and this didn't happen ?

What a let down all this interest in it too and no mention of a price either and still interest
For what it’s worth, there are thousands of ships sitting off the coast waiting to unload the supplies needed to cast standard plastics. Lack of harbor employees and shipping labor have caused major disruptions across the board. I know my puzzle factory was struggling to get supplies and we used mostly USA made products in our process. I had to do some major sluthing this summer to find some American made alternatives to a few products we needed to keep our output levels at bare minumum. Be patient in these tough times. The fact that a prototype was created is promising. It’s not necessarily OP’s fault for this “falling through”... we’ve all had major disruptions in our daily lives.
Which would all be fine, except the OP hasn't been on the site since Sept 20th. It's a long time to go quiet when you're in the middle of some product development and starting/trying to generate some interest.
A simple check-in and status update would go a long way to give peeps the reassurance that you're legit.
Yeah people are having a rough go at it right now and we don’t always know what’s happening in people’s personal lives. I’ve found myself homeless and jobless currently living out of my truck. He’s trying to make an obsolete part that was a luxury item on an obsolete truck. This country is about to default on its debt in two weeks. Let’s keep perspective here.
All good points. I hope it gets done either way.
As do I. I’m in for a unit if it does come through, but I’m not going to get my hopes up. There are way bigger things to worry about than keeping my headlights clean without having to get out of the truck. Heck, has anyone noticed the lack of insects on their windshields lately? Bigger issues are afoot.
Yes, off topic maybe, but I was noticing all through ZERO Orb weaver spiders in Los Angeles. Hot August is usually their bloom Month and their eye-level webs are usually everywhere (during August) and it's all one can do to avoid getting a spider up your nose... This year, absolutely nothing ... I kept worrying it was a sign the big ONE (quake) is coming...
Yep it’s easy to get distracted by cool things like a reproduction washer bottle. But when you notice a dozen bees and wasps dying on the ground daily and every tree along the creeks in the mountains are sick, and I mean every one of them, things start to fall into perspective. We’re lucky we still have gasoline to put in these trucks right now. OP hasn’t been on the site in 17 days. That’s really not that much time all things considering. It takes me 12 weeks to make a drum kit from scratch and I rarely talk to my client during that time for many reasons. When you have the product ready you have it ready. If something falls through it falls through. Making things that don’t exist isn’t easy and it’s even tougher when you can’t get supplies.
Maybe I missed something on this thread but I don’t think he’s made off with everyone’s money or anything. From what I understand he’s making this happen on his own. Which is very cool.
Certainly a headlight washer bottle is pretty low on the priority list compared to climate change and natural disasters, though I'm not sure how they compare.
Either way, I'm not trying to write the guy off, or suggest he's done anything lame like taking peoples' money. Here's hoping he's able to pull this together and supply a part that a lot of people would like to have. We're all here trying to keep these trucks running for a while longer, and if we can do that with clean headlights - even better!

Plenty of bugs and spiders here in coastal North Carolina
But fewer than there were 20 years ago. Haven’t seen a southern fire fly in at least a decade. But I digress. There’s still plenty of mud out there to gum up your headlights!
They are all getting harvested for vegan burgers.
Bugs ain't vegan, they have a face.
Not after they hit the windshield 😂

So, it's been over a month that 2,000 washer tanks have been sitting off the Port of Long Beach waiting to get offload, with no offload date in sight. I'm working with the manufacturer to produce 200 more and air ship them in... I appreciate the patience.
Wow! There are enough for all of us!
Will you be selling them directly or are they going out to an existing retailer?
