We agree! That might be the first time for us?It's not realistic to expect personalized delivery timelines for most given where things currently stand. They may have thought they'd be at that point now back in August, but they aren't. They'd be better off saying it's too early to provide individual estimates, or give them with a large helping of caveat emptor. People in locations they are confident will be first can probably get loose estimates at this time (like the revised Feb one being discussed in this thread), but I certainly don't expect a timeline worth the paper it's printed on for me personally.
If the communication they give is the best they can at the time it's given, it's sort of irrelevant whether it lives up to what they thought it would be in August, no? Isn't that the exact honesty and transparency we all want?
I would add to what you wrote, that it would be nice if they got out in front of it for once, instead of doing the bare minimum on the last day of the month, as they've done historically.
-Set reasonable targets
-Communicate reasonable targets
-Provide regular updates on reasonable targets (both good and bad)
Seems like a pretty basic but useful communications strategy to me. Maybe I should apply at Rivian.
