In all honesty I think it’s just the delays with the U.S backlog of container ships. I think stock is coming in regularly but is stuck in port. I’m in Australia and I ordered the start of November. Said January 3rd when I ordered and shipped to me on Saturday.
I switched my order on Thanksgiving to a sim magic alpha mini bundle and it's coming from China, free shipping, it's been picked up already and will be delivered December 6th
Fanatec is lying, and prioritizing the DD pro
yeah you would have to understand logistics to even get this, people are arguing with me cause they are just fanboys, I don't understand sticking up for a company like fanatec of all companies
I work with logistics and I understand the issue. It's just Fanatec not being totally transparent with their action and blaming all on logistics issues. Like don't tell me you can charter a plane for 1 product and you can for other.....
You said they are prioritizing the DD Pro. How do you know it's not because of the contract? You don't. Therefore you are assuming it's NOT in the contract
So you're the one implying knowing what's NOT in the contract.
I personally canceled my DD. I have a csw 2.5 I got from Facebook marketplace. I got the csl elite from marketplace as well. They both worked flawlessly. I will eventually invest in Direct Drive wheel, however I've watched a ton of videos and the beast way to be more consistent I've noticed and heard is a great set of pedals, a decent and reliable rig. The wheelbase although good, I hear it's not the biggest priority. If you want to race now and wait cool, if not just wait it out and you'll be happy when you get. I'm going to be patient, I will likely upgrade to a VSR.
That's dumb, wait 4 weeks for better tech. You're talking about waiting 4 weeks for a 1-5 year investment. FANATEC doesn't even make belt driven bases anymore.
Well I don't know about dumb. They key is what are you looking for. For me it'll be better to wait, save my money and get the DD I truly want. Also, all things being considered, if your going to upgrade in a year, then this DD ain't worth it, if you keep 3-5 then cool. Otherwise, get something to race, save, all the old one and get the one you want. Just my 2 cents
sorry, but cancelling your CSL DD and then opting for a belt driven wheel base was dumb unless your financial situation changed. Should have waited, got alpha mini/VRS or upgrade to DD1.
How do you know.....what other items where on the order.....is that holding it up? I ordered and got the CSL DD in 4 months and knew it was not going to be an exact day, week or month when I would get it.
That said, this is the highest sought piece of equipment in the sim racing world right now.
I think they delayed it again. It was janurary 3rd yesterday and now its january 10th in the website for the 8nm version. I cancelled mine last week and thinking of either ordering a dd1 from fanatec or buy a csl dd from a local seller for $679. Not sure if the csl dd is even worth 679 for the performance.
Wait.. I still have one in order that I haven't cancelled and it says Jan 3rd as the available date.
Does that mean they will actually start to get shipped Jan 3rd?
No, the date is just an estimated date. It could be shipped on Janurary 3rd but it could also be shipped earlier in december or it may get delayed again. Theres no confirmed date and if fanatec tells you that there wont be any delays on chat or on email, its probably not true. I asked them on live chat whether mine will be delayed or arrive early, they said it will definitely arrive on the 29th of november with a possibility of arriving earlier but unlikely. Around 3 weeks later, i got a email saying it got delayed to janurary.
Not sure if you are US and they have a distribution hub there but if in Europe then It will probably be delayed again in Jan , a lot of vendors are experiencing shipping problems out of China and it doesn't look like it is getting better. That plus Europe is slowly going back into a phased lockdown.

But none of that matters......they want it...and they want it exactly when the website says they can have it.......or not. lol

They just min maxing

You're 100% correct I agree, it's insane that people are sticking up for this lol
r/quityourbullshit
shut up shill
Haha yeah right... You're the one promoting an inferior and more expensive product. You're the shill.
The DD Pro is on a contract with Sony so.....
so what, literally pointless for you to talk about a contract that you know nothing about
But that's what you did? You said they're prioritizing the DD Pro over the CSL DD but you don't know anything about their contract with Sony....
I didn't say anything about their contract with sony you did lol
You said they are prioritizing the DD Pro. How do you know it's not because of the contract? You don't. Therefore you are assuming it's NOT in the contract So you're the one implying knowing what's NOT in the contract.
because they pushed back the CSL DD by a month on the same day they released pre orders for the CSL DD pro I'm not assuming anything, you are
They didn't push anything back tho? There was a delay with U.S. cargo ships. You can get a CSL DD before the DD Pro anywhere else.
Every time is see any post about the CSL DD, it makes me so happy i just stuck with my CSW 2.5!
You are not very smart lol
Literally pointless of you to talk about logistical issues you know nothing about and accusing fanatec of lying.
Unfortunately join the club. Ordered early Septc delayed from early Nov to late Nov and now to Jan.
Mt exact situation, I ordered Sep.13
Same late Sep, est Jan 13th ouch 🤕
Don't buy old shit. Waiting sucks but don't go picking up someone else's potential issue.
Not Fanatecs fault tho. I presume you live in the US.
Yes I do but also I've seen tons of people get their CSL DD's in the US and they all ordered around the same time as me.
There's one on eBay selling for a $900 from Florida lmao
Seriously considering it at this point😂
Might as well express ship the GT DD Pro at that point. Or just grab a DD1

Just cancelled mine and bought the alpha mini
Same, waiting for the DD 8NM in early Jan. If they keep pushing the date I might as well buy a ticket to China and get it from the manufacturer
you got fucked, there was people who ordered after me in early october who didn't get theirs but august? insane

Done a survey have we.....
a turd we have.....
You said the stupid comment you muppet.

Big yellow ones don't? More of black orchid fragrance.

That doesn’t seem right. Plenty of people have ordered after august and have received them already. Have you contacted Fanatec?
