By my count, it does look like there are now at least 30 K3s being
shipped per week over the past 2 week period, judging from the serial
numbers that have been posted on the wiki.
That means that Don Rasmussen's projections are overly pessimistic. By
my estimate (again judging only from the serial numbers accounted for),
serial number 225 should ship well before Christmas, and they should
have shipped SN 250 before the first of the year. I don't know how many
are in the 1st batch, but most have figured it is less than 250.
The folks at Aptos are working hard to hone their production
capabilities and get these first orders shipped. It has been a long
period of overtime for all of them. I will get my K3 in due time I am
certain, and I am certainly not going to bug them about it - whining
about it will not hurry the process and may even slow it down.

I think it's just that a few folks need to vent a little after the
long wait. But if you look at the "wiki" list of K3's received,
output is picking up nicely. I think over 50 K3's are going out now
each week--maybe more. So everyone needs to hook up their Valium drip
and take a deep breath. Things will settle down soon.
