Could organize a group buy-in or the like for interested parties. I think many of the
LilyGo designs are open source hardware, so sending out for 100 to be made by an outfit
like pcbway or OSHpark is an option.
In addition, I think LilyGo would handle it more seriously if they lost a $2000 order
(20x100 pieces)

I wasn’t happy with the Lilygo customer support — they
offered to give me a $5 coupon to keep the cameras, which I can’t use. (They’re “really
popular” they said, even though it is the wrong device.)
And it isn’t worth trying to ship the devices back and wait for shipping+customs,
especially if I pay for the shipping. Sorry, I know this isn’t the place to vent about
lilygo, but I do think we need a better cheap option here for hardware.
For example: we couldn’t conceivably order and deploy 100 devices at a time if we’re
worried that it will be the wrong devices, and if shipping takes 6 weeks or longer.

Hi Matt
...
If you let Lilygo know I'm sure they'll re-send the correct boards, or
failing that open an issue on Aliexpress to get the correct boards
sent or a refund.
