I get that and take it as a given. I wouldn't be surprised with some further slippages (weeks to a couple of months) as the implied timelines from the Feb update look very tight between delivery of the chamber, test sign off on th production bike and final production tuning.

As usual to there appears to be optimistic estimation and a lack of contingency.

All of that said based on the Feb update which had a few 'vagaries', rather than sight of a plan.

None the less, the question was 'what news?'.

Taking the likelihood of slippage as a given, and making the assumption that regardless of the inability to plan and manage expectations, they are essentially honest, the Feb update sounded very positive from my perspective, which is that production does get off the ground and this lovely design is available to me (and the general public) in the foreseeable future.
