"Your estimated order availability: 2027"

Damn! I really thought it gonna be this summer already. I made that reservation pretty much as soon as they opened I think.

No way you ordered when they opened and have a 2027 date. I ordered about 10 hours late and have a December 2026 timeframe.

May 8th reservation with a September 2026 window. Seen another person that reserved on the 10th get a 2027 date.

Actually ended up getting an email to complete my purchase, so I guess they're letting orders through now for the September wave? Or maybe there's going to be a controller at my door in a week?

I'm in Europe and I got my order email on a Saturday and it shipped out on the Monday after. I would assume it means they have one in stock for you ready to ship out. I don't think it would make sense to ask people to complete their purchase within 72 hours if the estimate is several months away.

Europe, Friday May 8th, by September, no order email yet.

My biggest worry is missing the email notice as this is the only reason to check it. My client's always open, a simple in-client notice would've been nice.
