🔔 Reminders

• We’ve been dealing with an incredible surge of demand for DIMO devices, which has created a series of unanticipated delays in our supply chain and distribution network. Unfortunately, this means that delivering devices is taking longer than we’d originally communicated, and we know that’s frustrating. We truly apologize for any problems this may have caused you, and appreciate your understanding & excitement to join the DIMO community. We’ve been learning important lessons that will improve our process for future orders as we scale the network. Current timelines indicate we should have every device ordered up to January 5th, 2024 out by the first week in February (2-3 weeks from today).

• Come check out the DIMO subreddit! It’s been growing in subscribers day by day, and the comment sections are full of spirited DePIN discussion. https://www.reddit.com/r/dimo_network/

Have a fantastic weekend, and be sure to crank those seat heaters if you're in a frigid part of the world ☃️
