GT production update January 14/ 2022
-
@lemur Sure, it is a public website. I only just found out that it existed today, but it must be reporting public data.
I wanted to see how up-to-date the data on the site was, so I looked up Samsung Electronics Amercia. My fear was that they were working off 6 month old data. However, Samsung have shipments every month up until last month. So, the site only appears to lag by a month. That means it has been a while since FM has received a shipment of parts.
-
FM has confirmed delays are due to the supply chain, not that we didn't figure it out but nice to have it confirmed.

@lia at least they ordered the parts.
-
So, Import Yeti has loaded the 1/31/2022 data and there are still no shipping imports to Future Motion since April of last year. So, if it really is a supply chain issue, I am starting to worry about my March 1st ship date. Here's to hoping they are either getting stuff soon, or they were lying ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-
@biell According to Import Yeti their data can be delayed by 2 months.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxcjPnXKawo&t=115s (1:55 they mention that)FM may have even hid their data by going under another name for shipping. That may explain why nothing since April has shown up since I can't imagine they kept up with releases and PintX development stockpiling parts for a year.
Bit crafty of them if that's what they did, wonder if that's when they started the PintX and GT development and didn't want anyone figuring it out somehow?

lol seems needlessly clandestine. i still think that preorder money was to buy the parts in the first place.
-
@lia Thanks for finding that, I didn't realize their data could be delayed. Since they didn't load the Jan 31 data until Feb 7th, I figured it was accurate up until that date, and comprehensive. This gives me hope that the shipments will start to come in and we will get our boards.
It is also possible they started shipping under an alternate name or through an intermediary, but I think that is less likely.
-
Reddit is currently buzzing with people getting emails Klarna has confirmed payment is starting for their GT purchases.
Either that's genuine confirmation production is rolling or FM agreed something with Klarna to prevent further orders timing out and auto-cancelling as some have noticed prior.
-
Looks like the rumours were true. Orders are showing in production~
-
@lia Nice! I just checked, too. Yesterday I was "IN THE QUEUE" and today I am "IN PRODUCTION"
Cautiously letting the excitement sink-in.

@lemur Lets gooooo~
-
@lia Same here, March 1st!! Wooooot
-
@lia It never fails, I just ordered a 4210 controller to update my suspension build from a Plus controller to Xr controlled and all focus is gone on that project now.
-
From the production gif, looks like they're cranking 1 out every 2 seconds!!!
-
Just got a shipping email for all my bundle parts for my GT! Even more interesting is that the shipping status for my order shows the GT is "Preparing for shipping" . . . looks like it should be shipped on Monday. I'm about 90 miles from Future Motion, so I expect it to arrive on Tuesday, woohoo!!!
Coincidentally, I ordered a Pint X last week for my vacation home and that's arriving there on Tuesday as well (although I won't be there until March 7). Gonna be floating on brand new and different boards soon!
GT-S > GT > Pint X > XR > +

@onedangt Ooo exciting! Can't wait to hear how it rides :D
-
@onedangt
Cool..mine is being "produced" for a week now. Damn impressive the time they spend per unit🤣
Aka "Vommbat"
-
@maciak Mine too, so they spent 1 week making our 2 boards . . . should be top quality!
