What is the current backorder status for the Rabbit r1 and why are they not arriving?
There seems to be some concern in the community because there is still There are buyers of the first batches and residents of the USA and Canada who have not received their AI Gadget, and we don't really know why.
Well, if you allow me my opinion, I have a slight idea. They had a forecast of 2000 units at the beginning of the year and In just a few weeks they sold more than 100,000 R1. I get the feeling that the factory may have choked the devices.
And if something characterizes the founder of the company, Jesse Liu It is precisely the enthusiasm what he puts into each project, which is a great virtue for many situations but may play tricks on you due to confirm that shipments were going to be brought forward Several months.
What we knew until now
According to the latest data we had, both the batch 1 and 2 from the United States and Canada should all be delivered by now, since they began to be delivered right after the Pickup Party, at the end of April.
Nonetheless, in the section of their website where this information can be consulted We can see a message that tells us the following:
That is, some of the devices from the first two waves have not yet been shipped, although according to what they say they are still being shipped at this time, so it seems that at least USA/Canada level no problems of manufacturing.
In Discord, the shipping dates we had been managing since the beginning of March were the following:
That is, for Europe and the United Kingdom, even the third wave would have to be sent from the end of April and The following devices would begin to arrive at homes by the end of July, being the date earlier than originally planned.
What do we know today about R1 shipments
Well, at the moment we can only rely on data from Discord and the Rabbit r1's own official website, in which the following message appears in the «medium«.
They tell us there have been some compliance issues, but they hope Shipments to Europe and the UK of the Rabbit R1 will resume shortly, so I understand that some of the shipments have already been made but have not yet arrived.
In addition, they confirm that for the other orders - it seems that batch 3 to 7— the Shipments will begin on a first-come, first-served basis in mid-June, so it seems that even despite everything they are going to get ahead a little.
What does the community say?
Well, there is everything, since many of us are more patient even though the wait between the first orders and wave 6 was just a few days. Although there is no widespread discontent If you see messages of impatience and desire to have the R1 in your hands.
At the moment the staff It does not seem to have much more information than what I have given here, so we will have to wait for the problem to be clarified, which for me continues to be the excessive confidence of the CEO and the factories in their production times.
However, I will continue to keep an eye on any possible changes that may arise from now on…
