Interesting that the pre-order delivery timetable has advanced from July to September. Could be that pre-order volumes have surpassed 2 months' production capacity or that there are further undeclared delays, or a combination of both.
The Helix Co's timeline "estimates" have been wildly inaccurate since day 1. I have learned to stop attaching any value at all to their timeline estimates.
