I visited OLA's Cell factory, saw how the cell is made and interview/converse their Factory manufacturing lead, cell R&D lead and COO with tech questions .... the conversation was pretty interesting to say the least. You can make your own opinion. I was impressed. Link below.

At launch events, some big publications and media, usually with a cameraman and gimbal, assume a certain kind of privilege, as if others should not disturb them during their shoot, even when cars are allotted at 1 per 30 persons and the total shoot window is hardly 3 hours. I have faced this twice now, once during the Sierra unveil and again yesterday at the Duster launch, where I was asked not to disturb them despite shooting in the last hours. Both times, I continued doing my work just like they were doing theirs. I did respond firmly, but honestly, it hurts later when someone brings out a side of me that I do not like, especially when it is unprovoked. Some media houses need to realise that anyone present there is considered equal by the brand. A single person can sometimes have much more impact on sales and overall reach. Experience or financial backing should not decide who matters more. We are all there to work. A little mutual respect and staying within limits helps everyone.
