Yeah, 7 1&#x2F;2 months was a pretty huge announcement-to-launch delay for Apple (though the original iPhone went 5).  But that&#x27;s nothing like a &quot;concept video&quot; or &quot;blue sky research&quot; - it was announced as a final product design with the same look and feature set it shipped with (though not with a price), and was probably delayed due to manufacturing issues.  The car, on the other hand, is still years out.
