Lots of people raised this issue on Reddit, Facebook etc, and Elegoo pretty much said too bad.
Hard for me to trust initial releases after that, especially when a lot of "reviews" thus far are from paid YouTubers.
Just my 2 cents.

My company recently had a similar incident with a customer. He was adamant there was an electrical problem with our product, but after extensive tests we discovered that the GFCI outlet he was using was faulty. Even after he replaced the outlet and fixed the issue, he still claimed that there was a weakness in the product. He just didn't want to admit that he had wasted a lot of our time by initially refusing to consider that there could be a problem with HIS wiring.
This is how Internet bullshit stories start. Once they take hold, people refuse to look at the facts as they emerge but still hold onto the original account.
It might be perfectly fine, but I have a hard time trusting Elegoo anymore.
the machine does have a filament cutter, and a waste chute
Elegoo says "Q3 2025... or sooner" for their AMS system.
Man if only money was no object. 😅
Heck, even one of the users has theirs in parts trying to figure out how to make flashing mainline klipper more user-friendly.

I'm very tempted but passing (but sent it to all my friends). I have enough other printers that there really isn't a need for me (and I don't want / run a print farm).
These are all sponsored reviews so I it somewhat lean to most positives things about the printer

I wanted to say the exact same thing. I grabbed a Neptune 3 and it had a lot of problems that didn't have good solutions. It seemed they rushed it out and didn't worry too much about the people that would be stuck with it.
edit: looks like they're back in stock
Just in case anyone was interested in watching:

Both printers FOR SURE need some software and firmware updates to fix existing shortcomings. History says that Elegoo isn't great about following up with updates, but Anycubic has had problems in this area well.
