Deep Dive ETAs Updated

Hey Folks, hope all is well out there! Just a couple of things to hit today so let's get to it!

Deep Dive Updates

All Deep Dive entries have now been updated with new ETAs. You can access Deep Dive by clicking on this link: http://cloud.heymugsy.com/shipper/deepDive.php

I have not updated the current statuses to match the new ETAs yet. I just did a straight dump from the EasyShip set up for the delivery estimates. I will be adjusting these statuses over the next 24-48 hours. I know that some of the wording has caused confusion so I'm working out a couple of basic entries to cover all circumstances. I will also be adding a key with definitions for all status types.

Although these ETAs are high confidence, they may be off by anywhere from 3-5 days in some regions. As we move through the next week or two of ramp up, ETAs will be adjusted to tighten them up as we confirm output and start confirming more deliveries.

Build Manual Updates

I've been taking assembly notes from the backers with kits and integrating that info into the build manual. I will continue making these adjustment while they complete assembly. I expect this process to take till the end of this upcoming work week.

Here is an example of an updated step(diagram only) created from a user's feedback:

Feedback to the future!

In this example, the previous version had the vertical beams being added after the rear most beam was already connected to the base. This forced the user to have to remove the beam to be able to place the verticals. This wasted time and could definitely frustrate the hell out of someone. I think we will have a bunch of these types of updates as we move through the rest of assembly.

The updated manual will be released in full at the end of the week. I'm shooting for Friday but it may be Sat/Sunday depending on how the week pans out.

Test Directs

The final batch of staggered test shipments will be going out on Monday with some overlap into Tuesday.

From there will we start releasing the other units and ramping up new kit shipments. There will be an update on Tuesday night to go over these shipments before they start moving on Wednesday/Thursday.

Ok, that is all for now. If you do not see a new ETA in your Deep Dive please shoot me an email at matt@heymugsy.com. I will be away from my desk for most of the day so you may not get a reply until tomorrow. There is also still a small backlog of tickets to finish up. Next update will be Tuesday night.

Cheers,
