I’d love these in a satin or matte finish but that would probably be the lowest priorty for now I’d guess.
Watch the following video and keep in mind that a smart switch has many more parts. Some electronics components are simply not made here, and would need 10’s of millions of investment and years to build out the production of them.
There are a lot of things we should make but don’t and it is more difficult than you may know. People say we should mine more Aluminum, and we should, but to do so would be $1billion easy just for the land and factory. Then you need the permits and investment for the mine. Need transportation so probably a new rail line. On top of that you need power plants built since Aluminum smelting takes mind boggling amounts of electricity. That is 5 years min construction plus however long it takes to get approval and funding. All in it could easily be $5billion total needed with no ingots for 10 years. No one is going to invest that kind of money unless they know they can make a profit for 30 years after.
What I’m getting at is that Inovelli is too small to do anything other than maybe have the parts shipped here and assembled so they can say assembled in USA for a markup. Only well thought out Govt policies that we can trust to be around in 40 years have a chance of on-shoring production.
