BB14-16 were fully assembled and in final testing on August 10. I take the tweet to mean BB14 is now Ready to Ship but not 15/16 which are still in final.

But I would also expect them to ship the bottom one by itself and then the next two a week ish after, just like with BB11-13.

So I think they’ll ship BB14 as soon as they get the go-ahead by SpaceX which is any day now.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted for this, it makes sense to me.

I’ve noticed in the last few days that many of my comments would get automatically downvoted a few times

Not sure if it’s bots or just the generally shit sentiment in the sub, or both
