I will have a short trip to Frankfurt in July. I did email to one store ask for Q2 availability, they said that due to high demand I need to pay full amount deposit. Does anyone know that Q2 will be short supply or will be available for purchase in Germany? thanks in advance.

Well, now that Leica Wetzlar is building M-E 240s, I wonder how that will cut into production of the Q2? Not to mention the recently announced layoff of 100 people there.... 

Leica might send 240 parts to Portugal, if they are not already there.

The marketing fluff says the M-E 240 will be made in Germany...

Sure. That is the usual  claim based upon technicality. For the most part Leicas are made in Portugal, shipped to Germany where the units might, or not be subjected to QC scrutiny. How else can we imagine some of the terribly f*cked-up releases?

Why would QC be worse in Portugal vs Germany?

The issue is the fact that Leica can’t produce enough $5000 cameras to meet demand, and now they can add a new $4000 model to the list of cameras they can’t ship in sufficient quantities.

over at dpreview some comments from 6 hours ago and 18 hours ago respectively:

Order on the morning of 3/8.  Just saw shipping notification from BH.  I guess another batch just came in.

> Just received an email from the Leica Store In Miami and they were verifying that I still want a Leica Q2. It said that production is picking up and they are checking their preorder list so they can respond more efficiently.

Can't believe B&H is still fulfilling 3/8 orders! (4/1 here).

I haven't seen an eMail yet from B&H, but within the last two hours the status has changed to "processing, order sent to warehouse" and I see the pending charges on my credit card.  Ordered (late morning?) on 3/8.
