“Australia was always on our list and had to make sure from a certification standpoint and the answer is really boring. It just took until now to get everything lined up, so we needed to have logistics and shipping and a third-party logistics partner and all of that lined up before we could ship officially here. and now we can. If it could have been sooner, it would have been sooner” said Yang. 
“Now that Australia is part of our hardware shipping regions, now that we’re all set up, it’ll be for all of our future hardware as well.” continued Yang.
