I'll believe it when I see it, and gleefully watch it fuck up all over the place to where it's thrown in a dumpster by a GC that doesn't have time for its shit.
I've worked in enough warehouses to know that a lot of owners would rather burn the building to the ground than pay to repair a piece of machinery, and I suspect these things will be more trouble than they're worth.
I do equipment repairs for my bread and butter. And if they wanted to yes they most definitely will make equipment that is reliable as fuck and can be used and abused indefinitely. The worst part of it. All it takes is one ceo from deere, cat, komatsu, libberhr etc to say you know what, that construction guy pissed me off. It may sound petty but I have seen a local ceo buy out kenworth just because the sales guy was late and then fired him.
