Haha. I've heard of beer chasers but I think that's taking it a bit far.

Even better to close on the daily high buena suerte, technically that is a good look along with the high volume, so we'll see what tomorrow brings.
Pico has no doubt created more interest and media coverage than anything BRN has managed previously - including the Mercedes announcement. There is clearly significantly more awareness of BRN in the marketplace, this can only be attributed to the technical prowess embodied in what BRN is offering now, and also the work of the sales team and Sean.
Go BRN

100% it was Jan 2022
Yup got my dates wrong. Knew it was about 3 years ago now, as I'd just started dating my now fiance. I know this because I started spending WAY to much money on dates and upgrading all my furniture thinking we'd made it. Been paying off my credit card ever since
Actually, depending on the perspective, it appears all three of you were right
:While the official reveal by Mercedes-Benz, which proved to be the catalyst for the BRN share price subsequently skyrocketing, was via a press release dated 3 January 2022 (Central European Time) on the occasion of CES 2022…

(…)
… an online article of a popular German car magazine called auto motor und sport had already leaked Akida being the reason for the VISION EQXX’s highly energy-efficient “Hey, Mercedes!” hotword detection on the penultimate day of 2021, citing one of the MB engineers, Ingo Kreuz:
Mercedes EQXX (2022): Das 1-Liter-E-Auto mit 1.000 km Reichweite
Das Forschungsauto spart bei allem – außer beim Display im Interieur. Und Mercedes hat Großes versprochen – auch außerhalb des Labors. Neben bahnbrechender Effizienz dank Aerodynamik-Rekord bringt der EQXX Akkus der nächsten Generation – mit Silizium-Anode.
It was an English translation of the above article’s paragraph framed in yellow
that a HC forum user from Germany posted early in the morning of 4 January 2023 (Australian Eastern Daylight Savings Time) to the delight of genuine BRN shareholders. That translated passage also showed up in the ASX Investor’s same-day video about the BRN & MB reveal - this time, however, without the source provided:Attachments
Seriously - what does the ASX know that we don't know?
Or is it just that they finally know what we've known all along?

Will the Eqxx go into production?
In production vehicles
Although the EQXX itself remains as a one concept, several of the EQXX's features such as powertrain components and other smart features will feature in production models, the first of which is set to be the upcoming electrified version of the 2025 model year of the Mercedes-Benz CLA.
en.wikipedia.org
A single-speed direct-drive transmission transfers power from the battery pack to the radial flux motor located at the rear axle, which produces 150 kW (204 PS; 201 hp).[29][30] A cooling plate situated below the car provides a passive method of heat transfer, with shutters that can be adjusted to control airflow.[31] A radiator is still present should there be a need for extreme heat or intense climate control.[32]The EQXX also uses a 900-volt architecture, which allows for a lower electric current. A lower current reduces Joule heating caused by copper loss, despite the EQXX's relatively thinner cabling.[32] As a result of the powertrain optimisations, the EQXX is said to have parasitic loss of only 5%, i.e. 95% of the energy from the battery is transferred to the wheels, with 5% lost during the energy transfer to things such as the gearbox.[33]
The EQXX features DC fast charging, with Mercedes claiming the ability to add 300 km (186 mi) of range within 15 minutes.[34] Despite this capability, the charging port was sealed during the EQXX's long-range demonstration runs to prevent tampering.[35]

Battery and powertrain
The EQXX's lithium-ion battery pack and drivetrain were largely developed in partnership with Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains. Several changes were made to optimise the efficiency of the powertrain, starting off with redesigning the inverter, now incorporating Onsemi's silicon carbide anodes,[21] along with the engine control unit being almost identical to the one utilised in the Mercedes-AMG ONE.[22][23] In order to increase energy density, Mercedes also introduced a new method of packing the individual cells in the battery pack called cell-to-pack. Cell-to-pack creates tighter packaging because the cells themselves are not separated into modules, but instead are directly placed into the battery pack itself without any sort of physical partition.[24] A sugar cane-carbon fibre composite forms the lid of the 'OneBox', a structure which compartmentalises the electrical components and is said to weigh 495 kg (1,091 lb).[25][26] The cell-to-pack method of packaging is often found in Formula One, including Mercedes' own cars. Mercedes worked together with their suppliers to reduce the battery pack's weight by 30%, reduce the size by half compared to a contemporary Mercedes-Benz EQS, and increase cell energy density by 20%.[27] Lightweight brake discs fashioned from aluminiumpossess regenerative braking capabilities to further extend the EQXX's range.[28]A single-speed direct-drive transmission transfers power from the battery pack to the radial flux motor located at the rear axle, which produces 150 kW (204 PS; 201 hp).[29][30] A cooling plate situated below the car provides a passive method of heat transfer, with shutters that can be adjusted to control airflow.[31] A radiator is still present should there be a need for extreme heat or intense climate control.[32]The EQXX also uses a 900-volt architecture, which allows for a lower electric current.

Interior
The EQXX features neuromorphic computer systems designed in partnership with Australian firm BrainChip which help to drastically reduce the power consumption of interior components such as the infotainment system. The EQXX's neuromorphic computer systems run spiking neural networks, which simulate the structure of natural neural networks and assist features such as the voice user interface.[22][25]A 1,206 mm (47.5 in) 8K resolution screen spanning the entire front dashboardcontains the controls for the infotainment, along with other information about car vitals.[36] The interior features various eco-friendly materials, the carpet is woven from bamboo fibres, and the seats are adorned with faux leather made from mycelium. Instead of door handles, the EQXX features straps to open the doors that are fashioned from a vegan silk material produced in collaboration with German textile firm AMSilk. A cactus fibre-based material also upholsters the seats.[12][25]I love the smell of burning shorts in the morning ...

Can’t recall if this has been posted before but for those tech savvy readers. Tata and Triton patent for their ECG wearable
When Peter acted as our interim CEO after "chief 3 hats" moved on or something else want down (?) Peter, who by the way did a great job, if only some of you realized that at the time, mentioned the massive power savings Akida was and would achieve...please don't ever forget where this entire technogical dream and brillance of ones mind was first borne, that being here in Belmont, Perth Australia.
It's easy to get caught up on the world stage, but I can assure you all that neither Peter nor Anil are attention seekers, they are both extremely humble gentlemen.
God Bless them both..truly gifted, making the pathway easier to follow for all comers.
So, so proud to be a shareholder, success is at our doorstep, finally.
Keep believing, we are getting mighty close..can you feel the positive energy...I can !!
