Probably will be Friday at 5 rolling into the extended weekend (already called it once in this thread lol)

Hope you are correct.
Would be nicer to have the email today ,30th day since the last one.
Adv is 3 hrs behind the east coast , so anytime now is possible

I’m honestly surprised more people local to SoCal haven’t visited their place in person. I did a few months ago. Nice people, nice warehouse, but rather empty besides a few prototypes. If they were sitting on my money for months or years, I’d be a bit more liberal about visiting. Hard to be dodgy when you sit down and have a real chat, face to face.

Just got an email that says price increases on the 1st. TBD.

Oooh. Pressure tactics lol.

A price drop seems more appropriate given the current situation. Plenty of dumb people on FB and IG who will probably jump on it though, not knowing the full scope of ADV shadiness. The top would have to be 10 dB quieter and 15 degrees cooler/warmer and support 500 lbs. to justify the already $2k premium over the TOR, let alone another increase. In fact, everyone who has waited 12+ months should be getting free shipping. TORs shipping rates are 50%-75% lower and they are not "flat packed" requiring assembly. Shyster is about the kindest term I can call ADV ownership at this point.

Amen to that free shipping! I thought they might end up doing that. I'm sure any tops that were forfeited for a refund will get sold, but the longevity of that price point will likely bite them in the end.

Prices going up to continue lining their pockets for a product that doesn't exist in the hands of customers yet?

Makes sense...

 

[Ninjak]

Ooof! A price hike huh? One would think they would slightly adjust their prices.....I guess they are banking on being much more superior to other products...I guess...

 

[j_marinelli]

Price increase to offset all the canceled orders is more like it

 

[Area51BS]

How does one increase price of a product that doesn’t exist? New board game? Topopoly.

If anything I thought they wouldn’t be able to increase the price like they planned due to the competition.

Wow I guess like you guys said they are trying to recoup the refunds they lost

i guess with no news email so far, that means there probably is nothing worth while as far as updates to be sent out. Not like, we are churning them out to ship in a couple of weeks. my batch 1 happy feeling is going into the shitter. maybe late january/feb/march.
STAY PUMPED

ALSO NO INSTALL VIDEO EITHER

I for one would have kept my order if they just once leveled with everyone. Even knowing it would not be made at their shop. After they supposedly got the gasket material (in April?) and didn’t deliver everything else was a lie. When TOR made it on the scene it was a no brainer. Kinda like giving lunch money to the school bully I’d never be able to look at myself in the mirror, no way were ADV getting my $$$.

What's also strange is that there STILL isn't any video showing the sound deadening head liner, unless I'm wrong?!
