Could you maybe give us the benefit of the doubt and assume that it’s not a lie and we really did never intend to make more? Maybe, just maybe, we’re trying to respond to customer requests?
We never intended to make more and we were very very close to throwing the initial batch away rather than sell them. Honestly, we don’t like how they turned out, but as soon as they ran out, people asked for them. The V2 is taking more time than we expected so rather than tell people to wait for V2, we decided to make more V1 because the people who have them, love them.
There’s no nefarious plan; V2 isn’t done yet and V1 is the only option we have right now.
(Just to be clear, V1 is functionally great. It’s overbuilt internally, we don’t love the wiring and the enclosure is Soviet but it works well and people like it.)
