The vast majority of the 2 year delay seems to be fraud by their Chinese manufacturer. They were given exact specifications but they didn't build the parts to it to avoid competition with their own production. They had a bunch of design iterations issues along the way but the bulk of it was fraud.

  I believe it is now I don't think they mention it in this video but have done so on the WAN show, the original manufacturer in 2020 however was Chinese, they had to change due to the fraud and lost $130000 in the process.

    No it isnt. It's literally mentioned in the video. (https://youtu.be/2K5Gqp1cEcM?t=1009 https://youtu.be/2K5Gqp1cEcM?t=1009) > we changed to a different factory in China potentially losing our $130000 deposit in the process.

      Yep. And 15:25 is when he said the first factory was in Taiwan. EDIT: Also a bonus mention at 27:35

    Video claims it's the other way around. Taiwanese manufacturer screwed them, they changed to Chinese.

      The Taiwanese company was bought out by another company who is focusing on their own products. The original company had megapro as a long time customer which is why LTT used them initially. Originally company isn’t the issue. The new company is who screwed over LTT. But we don’t know who the new company is.

        Well unless it was a hostile takeover or something, I think the original company shares the blame for not taking care of their customers.

        Don't know unless we know who manufactures them, then we can find out. But according to Linus, a company which makes tools bought them out to manufacture their own tools. So it /sounds/ like a hostile takeover.
