HI,
I am an early Emira deposit holder at Gator in Indianapolis. I am #5 in their queue, and due to some unforeseen circumstances my car may be available. The car is Nimbus Gray/Black Pack 6Speed with tan interior, red calipers and would be delivered in the first lot of deliveries once CARB...
Sitting here in the US as an early depositor. I'm glad that I chose the dealer that I did for my purchase. They have been good in providing information when they have it, which is infrequently. I am yet to hear from Lotus US or Lotus Corp.
But seeing this thread is disheartening, and I...
The email with the revised production schedule from Gator also mentioned additional colors to be released sometime in the Fall of 2022. Not sure if these might apply to FE cars or Base cars only, but might be open to a color changes if they offered some interesting ones.
I'm in the same boat, except located in Chicago. My deposit was in May of 2021, so an early one, with a promise of October/November delivery. I have already inquired with my dealer about storing the car for me.
Initial deposit May 2021, Additional non-refundable deposit at end of February. Order finalized early March. Supposed delivery November 2022. All has been quiet from Lotus once the deposit was completed. Dealer confirmed my order and configuration.
A310 owner and here in the states, where they are really rare. Sold me Evora 400, and expecting my Nimbus Gray Emira to be delivered in November 2022. Emira parts have to be easier to find than Alpine parts here in the states.
You are missing some fine weather in Chicago now. Be happy you are not here.
I don't disagree with any of your points. I am in the first month's allocation at Gator, so some of your concerns don't impact me, but I do understand them. I have a friend who has a 90+slot at Gator for the Emira...
Not sure what you are basing this on?
Timing of deliveries?
Lack of communication?
Dealers ADM?
Fuzziness on details?
or something else?
The Emira will be my 3rd Lotus, and my understanding is that while Lotus make great vehicles, you are not dealing with the likes of Porsche. So I expect...
I would like to have those features, and understood they would be included when I first put down a deposit. Albeit this was May 2021 in advance of the launch. Even without these features, I am still moving ahead with an FE.
