So sorry I didn’t scroll all the way to the bottom of the list to see if anyone had already mentioned this. there are ways and means, maybe I’m just too sensitive

But how many times were you told, just a another month, it will be ‘soon’. 😃

I gather the new C63s Mercedes has the I4 engine but with 476 hp plus an electric motor so total 680hp, only a very small 6.1 kw battery and it basically charges itself but you can plug it in, sounds perfect for the Emira

So Tom, are these part finished cars sitting outside? if so hopefully some kind of protection? cos mine won’t be out in bad weather once I have it.

Interesting my defender 90 with 400hp has 260 co2 Why is the emira so bad? Alpine 110 300hp version is around 160 co2 which means eco malus tax of €1500 in France , co2 above 215 will be €50 000 tax from 2023 so I guess we won’t be seeing many emira in France , unless they produce a Plug in...

Anyone heard that the delay for RHD Emira is a lack of pedal boxes?

Mmmm tried to order a GT3 touring in the UK basically to be told I have no chance, porche dealer in France said no problems 5 months wait, I guess porche are deliberately restricting GT3 deliveries to the UK so porche UK’s mates can flip a few quid

Lucky man…..of course I’m happy for him😡

No and I got the protect email on the 7th sept

So true, this car was supposed to be a summer toy, if it arrives late October I might get to drive it a couple of times before I disappear to my sunny winter retreat. I don’t actually drive much, my defender 90 that arrived in April this year has only done 2500 miles and it’s done a trip to...

Mmm maybe I need to rethink my no test drive descision considering I havnt actually seen one in the flesh yet

I have already said to customer service, I don’t want a test drive , I just would like my car delivered please. Don’t even want a factory visit any more!!

So if no dealer cars until October, then a few days for a test drive before final checkout Call, which is 30 days before delivery, so ergo there will be no UK October customer deliveries, however customer service insists my car is september production and October delivery. Fingers crossed for a...

Sorry I am not saying you are wrong, just that customer service appear to have confusing messages, but…..

Well the email re Protect your lotus, says the products will be offered in the checkout process, and says contact customer service if you have any questions about the products on offer, so I don’t see any need to confirm anything until checkout.

I don’t think you have to, and customer service still insisting it’s a October delivery for me, and UK dealer cars being delivered ‘soon’, not that I want a test drive.

No

That’s me

Are you sept build Oct delivery by any chance?

To be fair it’s the typical ‘please buy this so I can have a big commission ‘ that most dealers try and sell you in the showroom 😀 And I am crap at poker

No

Yes

As a Lotus priority customer, we are contacting you with an update to your Emira order. In June we published a video from our Managing Director, Matt Windle sharing details around delays and the reason for those delays and promising to update you on your order as soon as possible. If you were...

1.I spend the winter boating in the carribean, don’t normally get back until may 2. Just spent a week in hospital, lots of broken bones and pain, won’t be able to drive for a couple of months 3. Had a ball driving my new defender 90 p400 this summer, after driving large diesel suv’s it almost a...

A few minutes after site went live on the 6th july dv touring sliver tan yellow callipers however atm, very close to cancelling order

Just had the September build and we will contact you re delivery soon…..mmmm, im off for my winter hibernation in late October so I don’t want delivery, guess it could be delayed more so I will no doubt accidentally miss the call until I find out from others if a planned delay until April is...

Are the wheels silver? if so is this the first car seen with them?

OUI 131 is my reg, considering it will spend this summer in france, Correction the coming winter

Still at least we now know Lotus does have a timed order sequence so how many have online orders before mine?

just checked on my pc and the time is different so i did an outlook file propeties and it comes up as 1509:33 PDT, its a gmail account so that probably why PDT I thought the ordering became live at 2200 GMT so I was 8 minutes too slow !

Unfortunately I think your logic is probably correct

After completing the configurator and paying my deposits I couldn’t find any record of my configuration so I asked CS. They kindly send me a hyper link and a separate configurator code in case the link didn’t work, this was jan 22. The final part of the link was a number 210706220857 is it just...

Did a WEBUYANYCAR. on my April delivered defender 90 and it was £18k more than I paid, however the defender was bought to tow the trailer for the Emira (covered trailer arrived already) just need something to fill the trailer, however if I dont like it….WEBUYANYCAR can have it

At $20k i am your first customer 😀

Full xpel PPF plus the new windscreen PPF from my trusted supplier Duncan at autoshine. and yes I pay the going rate

Well it now looks like the 6 part of the 6 to 8 week delay has been dropped, and CS think a change from June to sept delivery is 8 weeks , and they are only telling you if you ask, did CS watch and listen to Mr Windles video I wonder.

So Mr Windle tells us, the first customer deliveries expected in June are delayed, then we hear on the grapevine from Goodwood its a 6 to 8 week delay (confirmed by customer service), and now on the grapevine it’s September at the earliest (yet again confirmed by customer service), in my books...
