Hey Alex,
Is the $99 deposit put toward the $399 overall cost or just a place in line?

He had mentioned in another post that your deposit is towards the overall cost - leaving you owing $300 when it's available.

This is when OP is learning that hardware is hard, and never ships on time....

A prediction a month ago is not an update on current status today.
Agreed. I empathize with Alex - the owner of EVPlay - as hardware development is difficult, even moreso with the Trump shenanigans. But the initial estimates were delivery in March/April and if this were me, I'd be giving weekly or more updates to interested customers. We'll see if this product sees daylight sometime this summer I guess.

@risingphoenix - You nailed my thoughts exactly. I think this IS Alex's first rodeo and he really wants to deliver a great product as soon as he can and is learning, the hard and frustrating way, that things outside his control are indeed outside his control and to probably extend his promised delivery times and then, if he's able, deliver early.

I've been involved in making, shipping, and supporting tech products for decades. The chances that Alex's first product would ship on time without problems was always extremely low. Not his fault specifically, it's how it goes. And yeah, all the shenanigans with imports...
