Obviously some components will have to be from China like asics they seem at the cutting edge with cheap manufacturing would make sense to keep the cost down. But if your gonna suffer from the raise in tariffs on stuff from China might be better possibly cheaper to have the shipped to Europe and forwarded to USA may be an indirect way but may be cheaper than the tariffs.
Yea we got the ASICs in so were set to at least start production on the PCB. Only bottleneck right now coming from china is the MCU and Fan. Even if we sent the shipments to Europe, they are still subject to a 17% import fee there regardless....trade sucks right now :/
Either way this at most adds 1-2 weeks delay, so worst case well start shipping beginning of november.
I can live with that. Obviously eager to get hold of mine but rather wait and get a quality product like the moonlander2s are
