Ya what is going on ?

Either A, it was never intended to be seen by the general public, or B, it has generated so many questions here in the NA that they have restricted access to it.
 
That looked like a custom sized Systainer to me.

And for any of you internet spelunkers out there, here is the official name that was on both the saw & the Systainer.

It did look like it was a small group of possibly Festool employees and Festool related people. On the other hand it was clearly being demoed at an event set up, in front of a paint store / hardware store. So not exactly the best idea if your trying to be secret.  [blink]  [huh]

You're right Matt...my memory isn't that good.  [smile]  I was busy working on some CMS modifications yesterday and started to watch the video but decided I'd watch it later, just happened to write the name down "just in case". I know what can happen on this forum.  [smile]

Returned to watch the video last night...gone.
 
Suuuuure likely story. Well here ya go:

Ya stealth wasn't exactly their first priority...I think I remember seeing the Festool roadshow truck in the video.

Did they mention finger-saver tech in the saw?

I have a little-used DW jobsite saw, about the only thing that'd make me replace it would be a ~$1K SawStop (I'm familiar with their new offering) with the slider. For that, I might consider overlooking the friggin' batteries.

Not that I expect it to be anywhere near $1K.

I watched the video before it disappeared, and from what I could see, it looked to me like there was no room for the finger saver tech. Could be wrong though but it was a pretty compact unit.
 
No, that is a completely different product.

The video showed a Festool battery powered saw table that was housed in a custom Systainer.

It was French spoken, so didn't really pay attention.

It wouldn’t have been that International Lone Star one in France, [member=44099]Cheese[/member] - even if Festool had paid $zillions to get it over here from NA. US trucks are of absolutely no use in Europe because of regulations limiting the length of the overall truck/trailer rig. That’s why every semi in Europe is hauled by a short-length cabover - to maximise trailer capacity within the overall maximum rig length. In NA, the only restriction applies to the length of the trailer on its own - so it can legally be hauled by a semi tractor with a bonnet (hood) the length of a football field, and an apartment-block-sized sleeper cab bolted to the back. I once saw a video about a guy who had a custom stretched Kenworth which was almost as long as his trailer. I'm also guessing that as a German manufacturer, Festool Europe would use a German semi tractor - either M.A.N. or Mercedes-Benz.

Plus - if you zoom in on the pic, the guy sitting with his back to the camera is wearing a baseball cap and holding a beer. He therefore has to be American  [big grin] [big grin]
