Did he use the phrase, 'worth the wait?'

My communication from Lotus said Production in September with delivery in November/December.

could you provide a screen shot (with names removed) as my friend has an auto and would be good to use that info to go back to his dealer on the east coast

After receiving this, I asked if I was interpreting it correctly that the V6 automatic was being further delayed from its original expected summer deliveries and he confirmed that was the case.

Sept build for a Nov delivery? Either that queue is getting much shorter, or Lotus is getting a lot more efficient (or both).

How are you tracking your car location? What date was your car unloaded in Baltimore? Mine came in the 4th.

Mine came in on the 4th as well. My dealer said they get an invoice when it leaves the port.

As it turns out they emailed a little earlier today to say they had just received the invoice.

I’m 100% sure this topic has been beat down to pulp at this point, but I’m just curious if anyone has an idea on when I would likely be able to spec my car, if I placed my initial deposit (for a V6 manual) at the beginning of January 2024.

I’m Trying to get a gauge, from others’ experience, on when my time will come.

I placed a deposit for v6 manual in October 2022 and haven't spec yet. Who knows?

Initial deposit? July 2023?

Has anyone with a V6 auto received a VIN confirmation yet? I keep reading that they’re built and shipping is going great but nothing but Manual FE’s so far….

@GatorMotorsport @TurnerAtGator Can you confirm as this is the type of info we are used to get from you. Are FE1/2 auto now not going to be delivered until end of year?

That seems strange given the CARB approval is done and folks have stated they saw NA spec cars built at the factory. What would the issue be that causes a delay?

@JZ14 Do you have your car now? Mine arrived in Baltimore on May 13th and there have been no updates since. The dealer says they don’t have any information, and that the logistics is a disaster. Have you contacted Lotus customer service?

Which is why I wanted @GatorMotorsport @TurnerAtGator to validate as they are the only dealership that used to be out front of all communications and with reliable information while others were speculating. Hopefully they will respond
