I imagine this is probably a futile effort because if anyone knows anything we'd probably be hearing about it but it seems about time to pull on the threads and see what we get.
We've been given news of seeing OC in "Fall" which is a tremendously vague timeline, and it feels like a lot can happen between now and "soon". So let's spitball a bit - I have a reservation that had a most recent delivery update of Nov-Dec 22 with OC. Does anyone have a sooner upcoming date with that spec? Have you heard anything? Have we seen any more evidence of this in the wild at all?
Part of my concern is if they're going to try another price 'adjustment' on preorder holders, they've since received probably about 40,000 more orders than the last time they tried this so they're in a much better position, and those new orders do not have the preferential pricing that very likely has little to no margin in it. I'd put it at a low-ish likelihood but so much of a reservation is up in the air without clear terms, and the BPA made it explicitly *unclear*. The other concern is simply planning for the truck. If the dates they give as of today are accurate then cool, no problem, but if that's just a case of "just tell them something then change it later" that's kind of a pain to plan around, and I'd rather just know what's going on. It seems kind of strange that they couldn't figure out how a light wood tone should work in the last six months so it feels like something else is going on here.
I do wish they were a little better on communication, because a lot of what they've said in the past has degraded trust in their plans and schedule it's hard to take them at their word when they give very short vague answers.
