They might mark the end of the first year production, but why would they stop taking orders?
The idea is to sell a bunch of autocycles. The more the better!
Initially all sales for some time(Fill in your guess), as per EM, we will receive an email 4-6 weeks out, asking for the basics +options. Yes we will still pay for shipping for pick-up in LA. As per Jerome, they are working with local casinos to comp those who fly in-room,transport/food (and hope we drop Money in the slots.) There will be a plan (read price) to deliver it to your home above the regular shipping price. For the first wave, lacking distribution facilities
somewhere you'll be able to take delivery for just the basic shipping charge (same costs as the future store charge.)
.
Of course there will need to be locations/tours to test drive, followed by payment. For some it's a no brainer. For me, I want to see them being made, so I plan to fly in/drive home. (folks mentioned seeing THEIR unit being assembled)- no way to time it considering the initial lead-in time/ production goals/training.
The first National meet-up should be in Seattle, hey but that's just me. You'll then be able to check THE wiper, heater /defroster.
