This takes me back to the single greatest thread in forum history. https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/im-back-but-different.1096/
I have tried that several times (including Lotuscars USA) over the last few months to multiple Lotus addresses. Heard nothing.
They see it - they just don't participate......
Self perpetuating cycle i guess.They see it - they just don't participate......
I see you Hethel.
Iām certain you are on several ālistsā. Whatās one more?
No sane group of professionals would watch their best customers scream in frustration and do absolutely nothing to address it. I simply refuse to believe that Lotus staff would be that craven.They see it - they just don't participate......

Lotus would probably cheer. They'd get an insurance payment from the carrier for those vehicles, and then stamp out 700 more to ship to the US and get paid for those as well. Get paid twice without saturating the market.Imagine they wait to ship all 700 at once and the ship sinks

Yeah... the terrible disgusting things they would do just to your car specifically are against forum rules for me to even type out.
Bless Tom. His spiel on L-CRAP v1 and L-CRAP v2 is still the greatest con I've ever seen pulled on this forum. Brilliant.
But they are though. They are fully aware comms have been awful. Iāve been told so directly from people at the performance academy, at the factory, from LAP, from my dealership, from regional sales managersā¦. Yet corporate chooses to do nothing about it and remain quiet.
Why can't Windle stand in front of a car again and give an update like he did a while ago? Even if it's bad news.. Do they really think silence is a better option? And if things are going according to plans why not share that? Maybe they don't want to commit and fail again and instead choose to remain quiet and hope people forget about it once they take delivery.
I remember as a kid when I had to apologize for something I did, the longer I waited to do it the harder it got. This is exactly what has happened with Lotus.

I agree, and suspect this is a combination of issues. We should remember that the real management power is in China, and they don't seem to have a capacity for apology toward any Western constituency.
Figured I wasn't the first, but maybe the straw that breaks the camel's back?
Probably not, but whatever, glad to know I'm in good company.
We need to write a letter, collect signatures, send it to Jalopnik Lotus 
That list would ādo not build that customersā
I bet there are a few of us on that list if it exists
Iāve done the same email to multiple Lotus contacts ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦crickets!
