Looks like Batch 2 is avail..
Shipping: August 24th- Sep.4th

They must be getting low on availability for the june delivery..
I suspect it is to show that 2nd batch will be some time away. People are afraid the 2nd batch might be the next week, just like how the B3 was.
For the 2nd batch, woah

Hmmmmmm
It says "can". You can also just pay in full like usual and not worry about it, though honestly I'm not sure what the benefit is to adding this policy (aside from free money from lazy people, I suppose), unless they think some potential Z9 buyers overextended themselves on B3s and X3s and want to give them the chance to earn more with them to pay the rest of the bill? Seems weird.
