yup. and Id say 7 weeks is best case. It could easily protract long into 12 weeks (or more).

Just the logistics of firing up global factories alone!...all 3 supplying the X5 have to start together and depend on each others materials to complete their task. Then you have supply chains for those major parts and then shipping channels that may not be fully operational. This could all be held back for weeks because a discombobulator is being sourced in Spain and that factory is on lock down or closed because its insolvent.

If this gets sorted out before the MY shift, luck will have a significant factor in that success.
