Yes the new @chilipad hardware is actually manufactured in our new facility in North Carolina. In fact all the electronics come right off our new PCB assembly line.
We do as much as we can in house but some components still have to be imported. One step at a time!
It may be naive but I believe in a world where if you do the right thing for long enough and do it well enough then things will work out for you. There will always be shortcuts but you may not understand the costs.
