I'm ordering mine tonight. EX Advanced in white. How has the process been for you up to this point?

Hello there. My first post here.
My name is Gonzalo. I ordered a matt black EX Pro a while ago. I don't like the colour much but I wanted it to be discreet to be honest.
I actually ordered an Am1000 on the first place. The delay caused by the fuxxxxx awful Covid made me have second thoughts and finally decided to go with EX which makes more sense to me since I like and enjoy Enduro riding.( This change was just a few days before they would start making my AM 1000, so I've waited 2 lines on a row). Also have little kids and plan to use it to commute now and then or getting some groceries every once in a while so I asked to add rear rack, lights and those things that should never ever be mounted on an Enduro bicycle... Wait, what??XD
A few days ago Frey sent me some pictures telling me my bike is about to be (train) shipped. So, keep waiting. I guess that's my thing, uh.
Frey attention is been good so far. Nothing more than some language misunderstandings to worry about.
Also talked to Simon (@Sinbord1981 )a few months ago and even though it didn't work out because we live in different countries was both hugely kind and helpful with the infinite amount of doubts I guess we all have before throwing this amount of money to the other side of the planet in exchange to an "unknown" bike and brand. I thank him about his great attention. Also Frey as well.
Hope to tell you my thoughts about the EX in no more then than 40 or 50 long days...
This thing is yet an experiment for me and must admit that won't be relaxed and happy until get the bike and see with my own eyes they're as good as almost everyone claims them to be
Take care
PD: a little "worry" about the fact one disk brake is mounted the opposite direction. (believe the front one is backwards)
I don't care to reinstall a disk brake (actually I think I will throw some galfers there anyway, but I guess this triggers up some doubts on me about quality test or assembly control as they answered me back telling me they're well mounted...
I guess I'll check the whole bike before riding it just in case.

Thank you!!
When I say I don't like it I am probably not telling the truth. Is not that I don't like it matt black, but I originally had thinking about a different color for my first ebike, like fluor orange, yellow, or red. XD
I pretend to get a CC some time soon for my wife if the EX makes us happy enough

Gonzalo, why do you think your front brake is mounted the opposite direction? Your's is mounted in the same way as all Frey EXs?!

I'm eagerly awaiting my new EX too! Only ordered the bike a week ago so quite a wait ahead of me yet. Hopefully it will arrive before summer ends!
Hello to everyone.
I also joined the club of the anxiously waiting for their EX bikes. Mine on the line is a basic version, dark blue color with a dropper seatpost upgrade.
Many thanks to Simon for his input and for answering any questions regarding the Frey e-bikes before pulling the tiger. The ordering process was smooth, with Ivy responding promptly to my emails before making the payment of the invoice through Alibaba.
I hope that everybody will be happy with their bikes when they arrive and hopefully have the backing up of Frey if any problem emerges.

Also,
I'm planning to upgrade cranks once I get the bike home and know I already read about some Miranda's somewhere but don't remember model and also offset. Does anyone know what are proper numbers for the EX cranks? I'd like to try them way shorter, I was planning to go with 155mm or so cranks.
Thanks.
Also does anyone know top size of 29" front wheel compatible? There is
another experiment
