Dude must work in sales. That is an optimistic lead time.
Yeah, this is absolutely delusional.
Even... if all the tariff insanity weren't going on, even if Trump had lost the election...
The answer to this question is right, if you add about an order of magnitude.
20 to 30 months, ie, about 1.5 to 2.5 years.
And that is arguably still an optimistic time frame, and just... waves away all the 'would it actually make sense to do this' considerations.
And he already sold it to the customer without checking with product support of course
Oh my gods I feel this as someone who works in production.
And now its your fault that it won't arrive on time and the customer is pissed! They're on the phone now and want to hear from you why you couldn't hit your time line.
I worked at a place where it got so bad sales team refused to meet with us because they were pretty certain we were going to beat them up or something.
I don't think anyone actually threatened violence but there was certainly talk about keying their new flash cars.
You gotta laugh at customers who believe sales promises.
