Was checking BD for my next gravel bike and stumbled upon this.
Seems too cheap

Read the fine print in the ad. The pictures are not real or Di2.

yes- not so fine print says:
Amazing New 2022 Shimano Di2 Ultegra TWELVE SPEED Electronic Shifting!
This group is so new, actual pics are not yet available. New Ultegra 2X12 Di2 looks similar to Dura Ace Di2 9200 2X12 Speed shown in this article

Has anyone seen pics of the new Ultegra Di2 12 speed?

I emailed bikesdirect and they told me they just posted updated pics of the ultegra 24 speed di2. Looks pretty good - so tempted LOL

They're definitely breaking the embargo with that pic, maybe they fly under the radar enough to get away with it? Presumably this is a generic open mold frame, which doesn't mean it's bad by any means. I'd imagine folks with sharp eyes and a bit of time could identify who's making it. A friend of mine ordered a fatbike from them and was pleased with the purchase.

not a fan of the crank... but the hoods dont look too bulbous.. so that's good.

Those are 11sp/r8000 di2 shifters in the picture.

The only new thing in that image is probably the crank?
The front derailleur has a regular old school cable attached to it as far as I can tell:
