Will COVID-19 mean no more DJI MAVIC 3 this year?

Was it also the reason the Evo 2 was suddenly delayed?!

I heard the chain of supply in China is now wrecked

Doesn’t much matter anyway, the FAA is about to destroy this hobby anyway....?‍

FAA does not represent entire world... nor the Chinese domestic market
What percentage of DJI sales are in the USA? more than 50?

does anyone have statisstics on how much American market is to DJI at the moment? if they lost the US market due to a US ban, will they survive or is it a huawei situation again? At least the first version of Mavic, the AI chips were from a company that got purchased by Intel... so if US has a blanket chip ban on China, this could kill DJI?

Don’t care about China....I only want to fly here in the USA without having to spend $$$ upgrading (if that’s even possible) and then have to fly in a “designated” area with a bunch of other pilots getting in each other’s way ?‍

As far as I'm aware there's been no actual real verifiable information on the Mavic 3 Pro apart from false rumours so I don't think anyone here can genuinely answer what impact has been had on Mavic 3 Pro development.

I may be wrong but I’ve heard a staggering 80% of the market. Well at least until we see how Autel does

You do realise the FAA represents just one country and isn't relevant to most of the planet?

Why were you expecting one this year anyway? Its a terrible time to release a drone with the new EASA certifications being rolled out, Remote ID protocols and so on being developed.
Theres also no rush, theres nothing on the market that even comes close to DJI so no competition.
