Smart and interesting strategy you're describing... I think it depends on each dealer, and nothing's probably guaranteed. When I discussed canceling mine, the dealer did not give me possible options. (I did end up canceling.)

Regarding the Emira, I wonder if there's a hard red line / threshold for those remaining to cancel your deposit? Mine was what @VL3X and @SmallerBaller referenced, i.e. anxiety over poor communications and possible problems resulting in less joy and excitement in the present... Once I...

Interesting indeed, thanks for posting it. I'm glad the WSJ is looking at least into those production woes for Rivian. Hope they do the same for Lotus now or soon... It also makes me wonder who has more cancellations now, Lotus or Rivian? 🤔

I agree on your thought process. I felt very relieved once I canceled, especially after continuing to read the ongoing issues. It would not work for me, but it's fine if it works for others.

I'm in the US and I recall the dealer finance guy called me back within a couple of days after I spoke and requested it from the GM. They put it back on the card, but could only use one not two cards like with my original two deposits. Overall, it was painless, thank goodness.

I've been away from the forum for a few months, ever since I canceled my deposit. However, do we know if there's any hard-hitting journalism investigating these issues with Lotus directly? Or any new Matt Windle interview confronting him with these issues? I'm thinking contacting the media...

Sadly, I emailed my dealer today to refund my deposit(s). I didn't think it would come to this for me. A combination of angst over reported issues and stress, both emotionally and financially, ultimately led me to it and made me lose confidence, regrettably. However, as a silver lining, at...

Happy to hear the positive outcome, @Kimmax! 👍 Hope you get to enjoy many miles of driving now! 🏎️ Curious, did they provide a root cause for the issue? And/or warranty/assurance against it happening again? Not sure if that's feasible but just asking... Now I do wonder if roadside...

I really appreciate all the supportive comments from everyone. Very kind of you! ☺️ Thank you for understanding and relating to where I'm coming from! 👍

I agree with the several points made by those who have concerns about the Emira, sadly. I mean, it's been my dream car! But I got to be honest here, I'm not a wealthy guy. I don't have a big house with a multicar garage with other fancy cars. I have been saving up for this car. It will eat a...

Evora "gearbox exploding"?! 😧 Could you please clarify?! 😳

Great @JasonR ! I'll send you a message to keep the thread on topic! 👍

Wow! 😳 For me, I'm excited (for now lol) to say the Emira would be my first British / non-Japanese car! (I'm pretty brand loyal to Toyota and Honda lol.)

@Porter , that makes sense. I wonder then why they need to do major surgery, according to the FB post. Maybe Lotus is guessing at trying to fix this and/or other issues?

Wonderful to hear, @Sid !! 🕺👏 So happy for you and best news ever!! 😃
