It is still too early to say exactly who/what companies will be stocking/selling the Tavor SA. Having said that, I would imagine the "usual suspects" will participate in the program, i.e. RSR, Davidson's, Ellett, Zander's, Acusport, etc. Whether or not there will be a Dealer Direct Program in addition to a Wholesaler Program, has yet to be decided.
More details will be available soon.

Honestly, I am. I would buy one in a minute if it was price competitive with a good AR. The market is full of over priced 5.56 rifles like the SCAR and anything from HK. Who cares? It is very easy to build something more expensive.
Yes, the collectors and others with the EBR disease will buy some but the TAVOR is doing nothing at $2k that a quality AR is not doing at almost half that price. Even at $1800 you can have an AR with optics and possibly some training ammunition.
Ok, time to call, who here has ever taken a professional carbine class? Do you plan to take another class? Will you take a TAVOR to your next class? I think most of the guys who are all exited about a $2k TAVOR are more casual shooters who simply want a neat gun. Nothing wrong with that but lets get real on what the market really is.
The market is very strong for a reliable non AR 5.56 gun.
SCAR, (the then new) Steyr/sabre Aug, FS2000.
All sold for north of 1500 new.
Not everyone intends for this to replace the Colt, DD, LMT, Noveske, KAC.
This will be a fun toy that has serious uses if they wish to explore them. With the added benefit of ammo commonality.

Again, that is my point.
At north of $1500 it will only ever be a range toy. Guys with buy it for the CDI factor - not for serious use.
