Is this really sold out already? I set a calendar reminder and was halfway through checkout at 6:01 PM when I got kicked out and now it says sold out again :(
yep, Iā€™m hoping he just hasnā€™t hit ā€œgoā€ yet.

This is ridiculous. I had one in my cart, went straight to checkout, and was told it was sold out? Did you list like 1 of them?

Disappointed but I understand it is limited inventory. If it will be selling out consistently in <1 minute (as it did this time), is it possible to create a waitlist or preorder queue of some kind?

Well what is the point of allowing one to add it to their cart for it to only be gone like 2 seconds later?
I'm sorry, I really don't want to frustrate people. The alternative would be taking pre-orders but you might have to wait 30+ days. Perhaps that is preferable? I'll think about it.

Preorders sound preferable to a weekly game of Tuesday evening roulette, IMO.

I guess I got lucky and was able to check out in time. Iā€™m hoping this is the last charging solution that Iā€™ll ever purchase. So far based on the reviews and what I see it will be.

I was lucky enough to place an order this evening and am excited to get mine, but they went pretty much instantly so can understand the frustration. Letā€™s remember this is a side hustle for Mcdubjr and heā€™s doing his best to fulfill orders and not kill himself for a product that clearly has more demand than he can meet. Itā€™s a good problem to have. But perhaps a waitlist with preorders may be a better solution at this time.

I'd sign up for a pre-order. Not a fan of the weekly lottery.

I think waitlists are dumb too. Increase the price 2x, 3x, whatever it takes to reduce demand such that it matches your supply. Then slowly lower the price when inventory start hanging around longer than you would like.

Rivian should have done the same thing. It is silly to sell vehicles under market value and let flippers profit. I wish those people who had been willing to pay $120,000 had given the $120,000 to Rivian.
