Update:

Several of the 100 early innovator slots which had been fully subscribed
became free.
Others will take their place BUT at least a few people seem to have decided
that the products they shell out $249 for should not break the laws of
physics.

They have not updated the graph - it still reads in mph. That would have
been such a simple change to make.
Their claims still break the laws of Physics.
Other people have also commented separately and re what I said.

They have addressed some minor questions that others have raised but
ignored any comments that raised issues re the impossibility of their
claims.
They have exceeded their funding goals, so get their % of the money, and
kickstarter get theirs.

While some projects with quite complex goals offer to have product in
people's hands very quickly, this project has a very long close to delivery
time scale.

April - Kickstarter Project starts
June - Final Prototype
July - Final Decision on manufacturing process
September - Tooling, Tools, Trials and Fine Tuning
November - Packaging Design
2015
January - First Kickstarter backers receive their Trinity
February - Full Scale Production

Kickstarter's laissez faire approach is known - but if the above does not
disturb Kickstarter then Kickstarter should be disturbing other people by
now.

MAYBE they are just being FAR more cautious than most.
But:

We have been able to build a fully working prototype but it may require
small changes for full scale manufacturing. We will face more challenges
and unforeseen product issues as we get closer to manufacturing. We do not
currently have a factory though we will explore every option and decide the
best way to manufacture the product. If we decide to partner up with a
manufacturer there may be delays should we need to change suppliers. Every
step in our development will be carefully selected to make this product
even more special for our backers.

We may need to make a few changes in materials so the product can become
more durable and scratch resistant. This can cause the final product to be
slightly different from our original prototype.
All of these factors can have an effect on shipping dates. We will work our
hardest to achieve our set dates and deliver a product that both we and our
backers are satisfied with.


Is disturbing.
