Regarding shipping.  Scott was pretty clear.  With all the shipping/container fubars going on the cost of shipping across the Pacific has gone up 5X+ over the past year.  And yes it is pure supply and demand, their costs are pretty stable.  Shipping alone would significantly cost more than Scott would make on the models if he just got the first available container.  So he had to get creative and work with others in the same situation.   The date he has given is the date that a container is available in China that they came up with.  So that date its firm.  Or at least as firm as anything from Asia can be at the moment given the political tensions going on over there.

Getting the container from Long Beach to San Ramon is the iffiest part schedule wise.   The UP is probably the biggest impediment to clearing the port generally so long haul trucks are doing most of the transport.

I live along the UP main over Donner and have not seen any increase in traffic from the Port of Oakland eastbound.  And that port is not saturated.  But the shipping companies, the ones that operate container ships, don't want to come to the port of Oakland.  So they sit off of Long Beach for weeks.
