Important safety note from Canyon: the Spectral:ON CF / CFR and Torque:ON CF models may have damage to the battery

what is all the crying about lads.

Maybe you've been a lucky man, this is my experience, just translated by Google from a post of mine on an Italian forum:
"2 days before Canyon stopped, the bike wouldn't turn on anymore, I took it to the service center and it took them about 3 weeks to understand that it was a useless GPS module that had broken and was blocking the engine. They ordered the new part, the order remained blocked for another 2 weeks, then it was sent to the wrong address, then another couple of weeks to understand the problem and send another GPS module, between one thing and another they gave me the bike back on December 27th (from November 2nd).
I tried the bike and at the end of the ride the engine wouldn't start anymore. I took the bike back to the service center that in the meantime had called me because Canyon had forgotten to write down the serial number of the useless GPS module so it had to be dismantled, photographed and sent to Canyon so that they could activate the module (which was never done).
I returned the bike before Epiphany, I tried it and halfway through the ride it left me and i returned back to the car pedaling. When I got home I realized that by assembling and disassembling the battery (not by me) the screws on the bushings that fix it to the frame had also stripped.
I was pissed off and scrapped everything."

We’re reaching out with an update on your battery order. Your earliest possible delivery is currently scheduled for August.​

As announced, we began shipping the first batteries in March and will continue dispatching them regularly until all replacement orders are fulfilled. Unfortunately, the delivery will take longer than expected due to unforeseen production delays. Despite our teams pulling out all the stops, refinements to our assembly standards at the supplier's premises and the necessary ramp-up in production output have affected our planned timeline. We’re working closely with our supplier to get your battery to you as soon as possible.​ As a next step, you will receive an order confirmation with your precise delivery date in August.​

Compensation for Your Waiting Time​ We recognize the inconvenience caused by this. When shipping your battery, you will receive an individual compensation as a token of our appreciation, which is calculated as follows:​ Your exact compensation amount will be calculated individually based on the waiting period from March 31 until the day your battery is sent out to you from Canyon. The monthly rate is scaled according to your bike model and purchase price, ranging from €104 to €238 per month. (Amounts will be converted to your local currency where applicable.)

"As a next step, you will receive an order confirmation with your precise delivery date in August."

Does that mean that you'll get delivery in August, or does it mean that in August you'll be told when you will get delivery?

That sure is. Bummer for those folks that are stuck in that situation -- especially those that have a cracked battery and have already disposed of it. 10+ months later and....still waiting while the bike gets older, depreciating in value and can't be used. Here's hoping that it doesn't actually take that long.
