How is there a labor shortage in Cali at the same time as homeless crisis?

They do so much advertising, I imagine they have more funds coming in than refunds going out.

I think at this point they either did a redesign or moved manufacturing. Heck, maybe both. I would if my supplier was that bad. The labor shortage excuse isn’t really cutting it because other companies are sending out tops. Even if it was true, tops would be trickling out to customers.

It’s just too many other options out there at this point to wait and hope.

Oh my sweet summer child. The tops aren’t being made in CA, or anywhere within 3,000 miles of there.

Just the sheer lack of acknowledging where these hard tops are being "made" is ridiculous.

At the end of the day, I wouldn't care if it's made here, there, or over there - Most of what is manufactured is done so overseas. But not being upfront about it is brutal... Not acknowledging this is worse than being upfront, IMO.

At this point, ADV is being dishonest and deceptive in their ads to deliver the tops in 12-16 weeks. Not even 12-16 months is accurate.

Seems like a line is being crossed.

ADV’s actual business strategy in a nutshell:

1. Design model of hard top
2. Take pre-orders
3. …
4. Profit

Just checking in on this thread...has a single person received a top yet?

Not an ADV TOP, but a Turn Offroad Top!!!

one guy said he wheels with someone with a prototype and it's great...but ADV can't do anything about actually shipping...a blanket email saying 20 working days, that's 4 weeks guys...as people keep saying, get your money and run now... you're on borrowed time the longer you wait.

That’s the hard part is that I do believe it’s probably really nice, even still. Even with having to assemble it. But yeah it’s hard to trust anything with how they’re advertising it.

It's not even about advertising it at this point. If you were one of the first to order, you placed the order in November of 2022...we're in April, let's just say May of 2024...you paid in full 16 months ago? And still have zero clue and zero communications...the only real communication is "if you want a refund we can do that"...I'd take the refund and run to the nearest AC or other dealer as quickly as I could.

Well for sure, but it irritates me even more that it still says 12-16 weeks for new orders when there’s not a chance that mine is ready in 12 weeks and I ordered it last year.
