Just submitted my Final Build for the FE 2.0/Final Deposit of 10k (non-refundable) early this week! Who knows when it'll be built, but my sales rep says he believe June for August delivery
It worked for Ford and it is the reason they have V8 Mustangs. The following is an excerpt from the article I linked below.
"Mr Farley {Ford CEO} says the success of the Mustang Mach-E – the electric SUV which bears the same name as its two-door sibling – and the F-150 Lightning has allowed the two-door Mustang to stay in production due to the emissions offset created by the battery-powered models."
How the Ford Mustang Mach-E is saving the V8 engine
The Ford Mustang will retain its V8 engine for the foreseeable future, with its electric Mach-E sibling being credited as its saviour.

I have the first deposit for the Eletre at my dealer and absolutely no word of so much as specking one. If 45 have arrived those must be all the NA dealer cars.

as soon as the dealers pay for the Eletre’s it counts as a sale towards Lotus fleet average, it does not need to be to a registered customer - it is a known fact that manufacturers like ford have given heavy discounts for their dealer network to purchase EVs before EOY.

Really nice comparison Evora GT/Emira
I'm thinking that's the most likely scenario. I am growing doubtful that these are end customer cars. But I'm not clear about CARB rules about fleet averaging, do cars owned by dealerships count?

45 is about the dealer network count. Probably demo cars and will stay owned by Lotus US for a year, but live at dealerships and then dumped in Mexican/south American market
LOL, my FE 1.0 has been sitting on the dealer lot in NC since December awaiting CARB. Still no gift along with no expectations of receiving one. Yes, I did get the e-mail back when they were first being sent out.
What dealer did you go with? How long from initial deposit to submitting final configuration. I just submitted a deposit with Eurocar in OC. Told may get my car by years end, thought I’m taming my expectations. I would have done so sooner but following this thread from a while back I decided it’s best to have my money in the market. Now that deliveries seem to be “imminent” I decided to place my deposit. Super excited!
Yep K_Squared, a lot of us are in the same boat.
No, it's VW Group vehicles that contain some specific parts. In particular it's related to some kind of joint venture with SAIC. Unrelated to Geely.

The PUN here. Anybody else see that? Oh man I love puns! Ah!
They were not named in the story I saw, so I believe no. Mainly Volkswagen Group cars
Until they work the bugs out.

Given what's been going on, you may have played your hand well. Curious, did they indicate it would be a base edition given that you're only joining the club now? Or are they giving you any hope that an FE slot may still become available? For me, deposit placed with Eurocar Sept 2022, final build config submitted Dec 2023 for FE 2.0. Have been told March/April build, July/August delivery, but I've already padded my expectations considerably on top of this.
