1 year ago3.5 weeks sounds about right compared to the RMA on my OG 512 that had an issue (I was a first rounder then too). I also thought the BOE screen sourcing was to ensure supply chain issues were mitigated, not for cost cutting? Is there a source on it being specifically for costs vs just redundant sourcing? I haven’t been keeping up.
All that said, I’m lucky this time around since my LE seems great out of the box. My OG was #literallyunplayable (I think my old post is still up showing my video of Witcher 3 breaking) so I’m happy that I got a good one this time around, but I totally feel for folks that have to go through the RMA route; it’s a huge pain and very frustrating.
Drove a Duster around Iceland for two weeks and loved it for what it was. I wouldn’t trust it to hit or maintain highway speed limits quickly here in the US but it would be great to have an affordable option like this. I’d also take an Isuzu Jimny while I’m asking for impractical non-US slow SUVs that would have abysmal sales, thank you very much.
