I got the same email. The number of drones for batch 1 should be a defined amount. Therefore, they should have been able to predict deliveries accurately. I’m just hoping that performance of the S2 isn’t going to be as disappointing as delivery.Got this today, I'm in batch one but have not recieved my payment email:
Hello everyone,
We greatly appreciate your patience while you wait for your Skydio 2 and we would like to provide an update on our latest production and shipping schedule.
Batch 1 shipments are in progress and more customers are receiving their Skydio 2s each week. However, scaling up our production output has progressed more slowly than we initially predicted, so Batch 1 fulfillments will now continue into January.
As Adam mentioned in his recent interview with Kyle Warner, this is a major cross-team effort and our top priority. We regret the delay and we're working hard to produce your drone as soon as possible without compromising our stringent quality and safety standards. We've doubled our production team and are now running multiple shifts - output is increasing each week.
For Batch 2 customers, your shipments will start as soon as Batch 1 is complete, which at this time is looking like late January or early February. (Find out how to tell which batch you're in.)
We expect to have enough accessories to meet demand. In the event of shortages we will prioritize accessory orders for customers whose drones are ready to ship. Most accessories will ship with your Skydio 2, and those that don't will have estimated shipping times shown in our online store. Purchasing accessories as part of the order completion process will help ensure that most or all of them arrive with your drone.
Please note that customer support agents do not know your place in line or when your order is going to be ready. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions - as always, Skydio Support is here to help.
We have begun shipping the first production batch (in the order in which reservations were placed)! Check out our blog post for more detail: Becoming Skydio 2
Reservation pre-orders for production batches 1, 2 and 3 are sold out. Currently, reservation orders are for production batch 4, which will ship in the 3rd quarter of 2020.
Note: Batch 1 reservation order numbers begin with a 6, batch 2 with 7, batch 3 with 8, and batch 4 with 9. When a customer completes their reservation and/or adds accessories, they'll get a new order number. And that order number begins with the current batch prefix (hence the larger value, see below).
Little frustrating if they take almost two months to get through even the first day of preorders...I got the same email. The number of drones for batch 1 should be a defined amount.

Yep same here but just one of my accessories (blades) no dual charger or lens. And no complete payment email.Well, my accessories have shipped and will be here on Friday. Still haven’t got the email to pay for my drone (batch one) yet.
Hmm, didn’t realize we could purchase the accessories before the drone. I H-D better get on there and order that controller...Well, my accessories have shipped and will be here on Friday. Still haven’t got the email to pay for my drone (batch one) yet.
If you're in batch one and haven't made your final payment then order it when you complete your order. That way you should get it with your drone not separately.Hmm, didn’t realize we could purchase the accessories before the drone. I H-D better get on there and order that controller...

They say they have enough beacons, controllers and batteries for all pre-orders.Sounds good, as long as they are available when my drone email finally comes...

Ok - just to find potential delivery spots... If you dare put your order no in (replace last few digits with x's.)
