no I'm not negative I pushed to have this forum your on . just think its little weird all of sudden autel getting rid of staff unless they just want to stick to internet salesWow Paul are you always so negative? Whats up with that?
remember no successful business runs without sales and marketing looks like trouble in autel camp which they aren't going to share
When times get tough, sales and marketing teams tend to take the brunt of the first to go. Autel has done an AMAZING job, maybe too good of a job getting their product in the field.
Amazon ...HUGE
Best Buy...HUGE
Every hobby/RC shop I have been in
B&H and every other online retailer worth a darn online.
They have made the initial push into the market and have a very happy following. Now it's time to get the back end of the business in order, finances/engineering/Product Development, sourcing and future manufacturing.
We all know from CES that the second round will be good for Autel and if it meets expectations, every retailer will dive in head first as they already have.
From the recent price increase, you have ask yourself, did they keep prices and margins low up front to kick start the market? Very well could have. So, don't expect this new unit to be at the same price as the X Star Premium intro price.
I applaude them for their service. This seems to be a very critical piece to this industry, as others fail, Autel has stepped up and won over customers who were loyal to other brands. Very key strategy to accomplish so early in their existence. Others will have to staff up to meet the demands on service if they want to keep up with Autel.
So, I don't think you will see them go away anytime soon.
Now, we should all be patient on any updates, ONE wrong move could cost them everything. I'm sure they have not released this because they need to make sure it is rock solid. I personally don't want a rushed update that is just not right and we have quads falling from the sky...hint GoPro!
I don't work for Autel, this is solely my own busisness opinion on what might be happening over there. I have seen this with many companies. Their investors are looking for volume and profits, if it's not there, someone has to go. It does not mean they our done...yet!
Any news/rumors since the last post, on the status of the company, new camera, etc etc??? I'm almost ready to buy, but I'm concerned that not much has changed since the batteries, props, sun hoods, and filters are still showing as out of stock on Autel's website? I'm sure that most of that can be purchased elsewhere, but I wouldn't expect anything to ever be out of stock on the company's own website?
Haven't tried them yet....thought I might see what the rumor mill might know. Customer Service is only open 8am to 6pm PST btw.Have you tried to get answers from Autel CS? They're available 24/7 and would know more than anyone in this user group.
I bought my X-Star through Best Buy last year, and when I visit that store I usually see the one on display. The fact that Autel is low in its stock could just mean that supply has a difficult time keeping up with demand.Any news/rumors since the last post, on the status of the company, new camera, etc etc???
