ADV Production Modular Hardtop!

[604Bronco]

So those of us who saw through the smoke and mirrors early on, and got bashed for pointing out there were no marketing or project management skilled people at ADV, let alone the joke of pay in full up front, and were bashed for our opinions, glad to see some are now singing a different tune.

ADV =
Made In China
Stickers attached in the US

Question: Are the stickers made in the USA?

Question: Are the stickers made in the USA?

Of course not, the stickers would be made in China as well, but they have to be "attached" in the US to claim the product is "Made in the US".

Wait for the Chinese knockoffs to be sold for a quarter to half of ADV's price.

How does a knockoff, made in China, become a knockoff of a product (allegedly) already made in China?

You and your witchcraft of words!

Kinda like the OEM rack cost vs the knock-offs costs. Half the price at most. I imagine there will be a knock-off at some point and ADV will have shot themselves in the foot and not even be able to claim superiority as a USA made product.

Once ADV places their product in China for production, the China plant manager's brother's cousin will copy the design and resell them, possibly even from the same factory.

Just keep your eye on Alibaba, once there, resellers will have them on Amazon and Ebay.

Where's your iPhone built?

Yes, but Apple never claimed it was made in the US, unlike some companies.

Yes, but Apple never claimed it was made in the US, unlike some companies.

I could have sworn the paperwork in the box says it's made somewhere in California. Or maybe it was just designed.

True, and my post was in no way meant to justify ADVs marketing these tops as USA made.
It was more to point out that Made in China doesn't necessarily mean crap, any more than Made in USA automatically means quality...

exactly, its the fact that ADV will do the FINAL ASSEMBLY and make damn well sure that the product meets their standard is important.
It is another thing to buy something made in China that ships in complete through a retailer and voila YOU CAN HAVE CRAPOLLA
GOTTA BELIEVE ADV WILL TIGHtLY MONITOR THE END RESULT .
Now FOMOCO handling of quality is another item and thats made in the MAP

Totally agreed, my point, China is well known for little to no patent protection and a track record of "borrowing" and reselling someone else's design.

Who was first?????????? One $699, another is $399. No rhyme or reason. All made/re-made by the same little hands in China.

There's an episode of Snail Trail 4x4 where Tyler Harris of MORRFlate talks about his improvements to the TenSix getting repackaged and sold as the Napa MaxiTrac (?) v2. So this time around he did his homework, got patents on the improvements in the TenSix PSI Pro, and hopes that means no one in the US can steal it without being shutdown.

I kinda wonder how Harbor Freight can sell a ripoff of the Snap-On without recourse if they've gotten patents?

Anyhow, like any great soap opera, this thread spins on an on and on and on and on and on and on...
