i know some may disagree with me but that's ok. if dji has discovered (or decided) that certain m3 components are prone to degrade or go out of spec or whatever you want to call it....and they think it might be contributing to this problem, they will likely apply a remedy (hw....in addition to sw). that could mean a new source for parts, better qc off the line to pluck off those likely to be affected....whatever. they will roll in whatever this means, whether it's improved parts, a new parts vendor, etc and keep making m3 drones. likely they would not rev the hardware but for sure, they will know what drones contains what parts, etc. meaning a drone you buy in july might be a "better" drone that was bought/sold in january. obviously parts are covered under warranty defects (in most countries) for a limited time and unless there is a safety issue, you probably will not be notified (meaning no recall). dji would be happy to handle complaints as they arise. issue a technical bulletin.
which leads me to topic about refurbs. later this summer when the refurb process gets setup, if this is an action item, pretty sure dji is smart enough to implement the "gps fix" (if it exists) in every single refurb as long as it is feasible....not costly, timely, non-technical, s/n range, etc. sorry for being so obtuse, trying to keep this completely theoretical since i know nothing about this issue and there are many here who are willing and ready to pick this apart.
tl;dr dji would be crazy not to pivot and make improvements during the production process even at this early stage. somebody dropped the ball here and before they build a million of these drones that have to be sold all over the world for the next 5 years, they better make sure they have this issue nailed. if that means go back and improve some of the parts....do it. we understand all suppliers are not perfect and decisions are often made to lower costs. not saying that is what happened here but i feel dji has no obligation to explain to anyone what exactly happened here. all they should say is "sw update to improve gps fix capabilities..." and that's it, move on.
im ready to buy the drone, spring/summer is coming, get it done already. |
