What a mess! The sad thing is that this to me makes them come across as a bit clueless or a bit like they&#x27;re in headless-chicken mode, in a panic about not meeting the target.<p>Would I want to invest in someone that I&#x27;m seeing panic to not meeting their goal with a constantly shifting expectation?<p>Their shambolic handling of this campaign does not instill confidence in their ability to manage a $32m investment.

I mean if you&#x27;re a pre-paying buyer for this thing at $695, you&#x27;d probably be just as easily in at $795.

If they had the hardware available right now, for that price, in my country so I don&#x27;t have to pay import taxes and 25% VAT on top of it, yeah I&#x27;d buy one.<p>What happened to good old pre-orders as crowdfunding?

They aren&#x27;t going to make it. $24 million left with 2 weeks, no way will it reach $32 million.
