Drone Nerds has M3 Max T for over $11,000 now. Autel is still the same price; they shipped their entire inventory to the US before tariffs. DJI dropped the ball, as they should have done the same.

Do you mean Drone Nerds dropped the ball? Prices still look the same in the DJI Store.

No, DJI did . Autel shipped their inventory to the US ahead of the tariffs. Order Autel, and it will be in the States and clear of customs at its original price. DJI could have shipped stockpile units to the US in January too.

You're talking about Drone Nerds above, but seemingly blaming their mishap on DJI. What am I missing?

May have something to do with the U.S. not being the one and only market where DJI products end up. From watching product production from DJI for the last several years, whatever sales strategies they use seem to be working well for them. Possibly we just haven’t seen whatever strategy they will implement that involves the current economic challenges.

You are assuming DJI has lots of inventory. Modern manufacturers try keep inventory levels low. Unsold drones sitting on a shelf represent an investment that has not paid for itself and is therefore costing the company money.
