This thread popped into my head as I was reading a "production update" from SA on the R2. I ordered mine back toward the end of March, using Paypal Buyer Credit (hey, no interest for 6 months over $100.) I've already paid off the pre-order, and they still haven't starting punching out tops yet. I'm not upset, I just think they initially over-reached with their optimistic release schedule. Who knows how many materials they had to test before arriving at one that works.
I'm fine with waiting, I'd much rather have a properly developed product than one that ends up going in on warranty several times. My H2 has thousands upon thousands of miles on it, and it's not gonna rain again for... months, so the R2 is not a necessity for me at all. Some other folks on the internet are absolutely heated. They need to learn some patience.
