Yes, it does have the option for push notifications (which dont work for me despite Scorpion customer service having a look with no joy). Im assuming many others who have trackers will have tried to set this up too as the only other notification method is email, which serves limited purpose...

Just wondering if anyone else has had any joy with their tracker sending push notifications, regardless of phone brand?

Same for me. I didn’t receive anything either. The tracker ended up being replaced on day 2 by Scorpion. My previous comments outline how I unsatisfied I am with it to date. It’s pretty much of no use other than if you want to manually check where the car is. Hopefully push alerts work for...

Not exactly but it was long enough to drain the battery which resulted in errors / warnings about the battery for the first few days until I was able to give it a longer run on the motorway and charge it. I was told this was the same for most / all vehicles delivered following the cold spell...

No, it hadn’t yet been washed

Correct. The other issues are insignificant now. I could have returned it for the speaker replacement (and knock sensor which is another part that needs replacing I’m told) but the brakes issue means it’s effectively in jail at the dealer and is sat outside in the customer car park (according to...

I guess it depends on the dealership and availability. I’ve asked the dealer and also central.

It went in with a number of what appeared minor issues (faulty speaker, boot catch, wing mirror, idle issue) and on inspection it was discovered the brake disks were heavily corroded and pads fractured to the point where it’s unsafe to drive. I’ve not gone above 78mph and only done 400 miles...

Brief update. 5 days at the garage and no idea when I will get it back. Parts appear very difficult to procure, to the point I and the garage have asked Lotus to take them from the production line. Make of that what you will. Incredibly frustrating that I’ve not had my car for 5 days and have...

Thanks. That implies they know what it is which is good. I briefly mentioned it again while chatting with the garage midweek but I’m not sure it’s on the to-do list any longer given the fact my car will not be returned for an indefinite period due to serious issues elsewhere. It’s 3 weeks old...

Interesting. Mine was like that on arrival and has remained on after 400 miles over 3 weeks or so.

No engine management light permanently on? I was informed this was the same on all cars and was due to be fixed with a software update, which I am hoping is being done now.

I haven't even shared my full list of issues to be fixed! I will allow them to be looked at first in fairness! As I have mentioned, I am not overly surprised by some of the issues being car recipient #49 (assumption based on my invoice number) and hope that this helps iron out issues for later...

Has anyone with the factory option tracker been able to get push reporting to work on their mobile? I am using an iPhone 11, with all notifications for this app permitted. Did a walkthrough with Scorpion support and all was set correctly within the app. Email notifications work fine, albeit a...

I had a limp mode issue on day 2. It was at very low revs while stationary, which prompted me to tap the accelerator. It immediately flashed a message on the dash (which I cannot recall what it said) and went into limp mode and sounded like a bag of spanners until I pulled over up the road...

I noticed this on a journey last night. It was on a 50mph or so road through hilly terrain (UK Peak District for local folks context) and seemed to be coming from either the top right corner of the windscreen or possibly that area of the drivers window. Windows were fully up as far as I know...

It definitely is happening, for me anyway. I’ve had a great post sales experience to check all is well. Unfortunately it isn’t (my car is going in tomorrow for various bits looking at) but I take that with the territory and see it as helping those who take later deliveries to iron out the...

I've spent £400 on the Lotus tracker and after 2 weeks of limited joy with it (see my other posts - it might as well be stuck on the dashboard with velcro as its not going to take anyone who knows what they are looking for more than 30 seconds to pull it out) I am likely to resort to AirTag(s)...

I am having limited joy with the Lotus app. I have just come off the phone to Scorpion who suggested there might be issue with the customised Lotus app (it's not a rebadged Scorpion app apparently) as I am not getting Push notifications at all. Email notifications work fine. My fobs are not...

Unfortunately not. I assumed the same thing but had a problem with mine, which Scorpion came out same day to fix (excellent customer service as they are fairly local). The chap swapped the unit out which did not involve the removal of any panels or trim to my shock. It would be cut out within a...

Yes, I also received it. 3 or 4 hours after my checkout email.

For those considering Verdant, here is an example I test drove yesterday. Very dark, almost black. Cloudy day but I understand it would show a lot more depth of colour if it was sunny.

I've just had a test drive today and while there, enquiries were made to see if my Nov build / Dec delivery is still accurate, which it is so hopefully you / anyone else in that group will hear something (I dont want to use the word but have to...) "soon" :)

Credit where it’s due. Lotus Cheshire have noted a delay in my test drive when my vehicle is potentially imminent and offered me a much quicker test drive next week. Great customer service. Things are moving fast now after a long time waiting!

It can’t be priority order. I’m allegedly in the first 150 orders, with my car due for Nov build and Dec delivery yet I’ve had to select December 2nd as first available date for a test drive at my closest dealer (Cheshire). I was also in a queue of 250+ when I clicked on the link.

I don’t think I can afford to keep mine now, having spent most of the funds on family holidays due to the lengthy delays. That said, it would be sad to not enjoy it for at least a few months before selling. Ideally for a few quid more but at worst cost price. Reward for my patience if nothing...

I got my call late this afternoon to be fair. It was not from the number in the email which I’d added to my contacts after getting the email just in case. I was told I’d receive my November delivery in December now. Not too bad and not worth all the drama if they’d just communicated that earlier.

I got two. The protect one and also the “we will call you in a few days” one, which doesn’t actually say anything positive, just that they will call me. Perhaps to deliver bad news!

Speaking of which - and I appreciate this may not yet be known - I’m undecided between home delivery and dealer collection. I’d like a bit of fanfare! If it’s at home and driven out the back of a Lotus truck, nice. If the dealer is going to help me enjoy the handover experience more, then that...

Yes, same here. After complete silence for months, my email says it should be ready October with November delivery. I’m taking that with a little bit of caution given the auto industry component challenges but it’s nice to know it’s coming relatively soon after all.

Thanks Tom My 1st deposit for the FE V6 was July 23rd, 4th Nov 2nd deposit. I’ll await more news - just wanted to check it wasn’t just me who was in the dark!

Still waiting for any kind of update or information from Lotus. Is this seemingly the standard for everyone else too? Nothing since November that I recall, aside from the generic finance email.

I was curious to know the same. It’s gone very quiet in the couple of threads I keep an eye on. No comms from Lotus with delivery expectations which is a bit disappointing given they’ve 5k of our money and as yet nothing official to say it won’t be “spring” as originally stated. I had settled...

I did think they could have just told me what batch I was expected to be in and then subject to “normal” output, it would be within a certain timeframe. For example, batch 2 cars will be between X & Y dates, you are in batch 3 which are expected to be rolled out between A & B dates. I’m sure...

I contacted lotus today using the chat facility on the website. Spoke to a real person within a minute or so. My 1st deposit was 23rd July, 2nd paid in early November. I was informed that while they couldn’t give me an estimate as I was not in the first batch (which I had established after...
