Nuked Snap’s new flying camera, the $ 230 Pixy drone, went on sale last week. But the earliest buyers were told they’d have to wait three months to get the gadget.
The estimated shipment in 15-16 weeks for the Pixy drone, per snap’s website, is estimated to be worth more than $ 1 million. Evan Spiegel told me before the launch:’honestly, in hindsight, we probably should have made more’.
In the past, snap lost almost $ 40 million when it made too many pairs of its spectacles. Snap CEO Evan Spiegel suggested that snap underestimated how many pixys it needed and made too few this time around.
Even the very first people who bought the Pixy on day one wo n’t see their drone for weeks. Snap spokesperson Chloe keusder confirmed in an email email that the drone will have to wait.
Snap’s website always showed an 11- to 12-week shipping window on its launch date, April 28th. The Pixy is n’t made-to-order, so there’s a small stockpile somewhere, one that takes multiple months to make it to your door.
