Nanox.Arc is not production-ready

The multiple-source Nanox.Arc "prototype" shown at RSNA2020 supposedly represents what Nanox is "going to make," with the design being 100% finalized (per investor Zoom event following the RSNA 2020 demo, about 55 minutes into it).  However, the device lacks a built-in high-voltage generator necessary to produce any x-rays.  

The CEO says (about 53 minutes into the Zoom) when asked about the location of he high-voltage receptacl: "inside the gantry we have connecting [sic] one by one the tubes into the high-power voltage and all the way to a PCB card that is then connecting to the high-power supply." 

This snapshot from Nanox video titled "The making of Nanox ARC" (about 1:03 into video) shows the black high-voltage cable leading away from the device to a generator that is not visible (and may not even exist).
