The process duration varies based on customer size and volume expectations [40][41]. Question: What is the status of the $100 million MOU? - The initiation date for purchases under the MOU is expected to be delayed due to slower ramp-up of Line One, but the two-year term remains intact, with production rates expected to increase significantly in the second year [46][47].
