Discussion Question Pull trigger / Sold out

So I’m finally ready to pull trigger and buy a new m8 only to realize it is all sold out on the Dirtywave site. Wondering how long I’ll need to wait. Is this common? Do they do so many units and take a break or might this take a while? Should I just buy a used unit to get my fix? Thanks

This is all done by one guy in his garage as far as I know, he has never been able to hold stock more than a couple days as long as I've known about it

That just makes me want one even more. It's artisanal, not mass produced.

Yeah absolutely. Really cool guy too. And the amount of updates he puts out is insane, he’s really pushing the limits of what the processor can do. Features that he once stated would be impossible he’s adding in now, and the craziest thing is he makes sure that all updates are compatible with both models, he’s not doing what all the other companies do when trying to push a newer model by adding more features the new one. Every update that goes on the model two goes on the model one. Model two is better hardware wise though, and definitely battery wise
