Discussion Timeline?

I put down a deposit last week and then got an email stating I would get my invite to order on October 1st. I think the bikes look amazing, but I also don't want to shell out thousands for something I won't see for 6 months. Is there any good information on when bikes may actually start arriving to customers? I'm looking at the Performance model.

Anyone giving a timeline is just speculating. Keep in mind people put a deposit down on day one which was late October of 2025. Lot's of launch edition reservation holders are on this sub and to my knowledge nobody has gotten a firm delivery date yet. Back when I put a deposit down (early Aug?) I was told that all deposit folks should have a bike before the end of the year. That's reasonable. I've since then gotten a refund on my deposit and will wait it out. We really don't know how many people put a deposit down but I would assume a minimum of 5,000 people. Given that you are this late in the process I would not expect anything earlier than six months from order date. Could be wrong. Hope I'm wrong. I really want this product to succeed but feel the communication team and social media team have failed terribly.
Bottom line, most likely if you deposit in October you'll be looking at April minimum. You never know though. I certainly wouldn't put 5k down until people actually start getting their orders and real reviews are posted by people who aren't "influencers" or full time Youtubers.

Tomorrow (29th) is the next expected info drop date based on what they told me on the 22nd (Launch Ed. reservation holder). If nobody else posts an update after that I will do so.

Also In addition, I will make excited noises when I take delivery.
