Price. Price. Price. You can’t compete with markets with lax labor/safety, environmental and regulatory practices. There’s high value in keeping manufacturing on-shore so that we continue to learn and refine design processes, but it’s really hard to justify the additional cost that would need to be passed on to consumers.
