Same for NY

Well that explains it... neither of the aforementioned seems to put a priority on their customers with the exception of a well documented dealer or two.

“Sad, as it could’ve been so much better. At this point I just want the car and don’t want to have to deal with Lotus pre-sales process any more. I cancelled my Eletre deposit.” As someone who’s had an Emira deposit with my local dealer for nearly 10 months, with no feedback as to whether I...

My "stellar" dealer service experience continues. I put my deposit in last August on a V6 and haven't heard shite in regards to when I can finalize my config and expect delivery.

Pretty much the same scenario for me. Deposit placed in early August with nary a word from my dealer until I reached out to Lotus directly. Somehow that got my dealer's attention at which point they responded to direct all inquiries to them going forward, "oh and BTW you didn't make the cut for...

I had an initial deposit placed with a dealer in another state back in July and placed a subsequent second deposit with a dealer closer to home in early August. Lotus flagged my second deposit and asked me to cancel one.

Not "everyone" does it; some dealers do, some don't. I ordered a Pcar last May and negotiated a nearly 8% discount off of MSRP. The car was delayed, and delayed , and delayed again. When I finally took delivery of the vehicle this past January the selling price, as well as interest rates, had...

You're painting with a broad brush as that's absolutely not true. There's many dealers of high end autos willing to take your order at MSRP if you submit a build and wait for delivery.

Exactly correct. Now I do understand why some try to explain this away by giving the whole "Lotus was unprepared for the interest and the excitement that this particular car generated" spiel but logic would dictate that surely there are some aspects of this whole shite show that were a tad of a...

They can keep their tchotchkes...I'd just be happy to get some semblance of info from my dealer that my July deposit will equate to a submitted build date of X and a projected delivery date of Y.

and what about the people that DID get in a deposit early and are summarily being passed over by their dealer and purportedly having their spots offered up to those willing to pay an ADM?

…and those in the USA with interest in the Type 132 get to start this whole shite show of a deposit game all over again.

Above all else I'm sure we're all glad the crew are safe. My recent Pcar was delivered off of this vessel in early January, it was one debacle after another, from ordering to delivery, and I can only think that my cursed build had some tenuous connection to this latest event

I wish I could say I was surprised at this but, frankly, this is playing out much as I thought it would; dealers giving little info as to their allocations and their intention to honor early deposits. Kudos to the dealers that aren’t engaging in any games up to this point.

Naples isn't the only dealer NOT confirming their allocation numbers. Heck, I can't even get a callback from my dealer and I put my deposit down back in mid-July. I've relegated myself to the fact that I likely didn't score an FE but it would be nice to get a cursory "We got X amount of cars on...

I believe that the exterior lighting on the car, including headlights, stay on for a short period of time after the vehicle is parked and powered off to presumably give you some illumination as you walk away from the vehicle.

Yup, I can attest to this first hand. After nearly 8 months of waiting I finally took delivery of my car on 01/04 here in the Northeast and It's been snowing and raining ever since. It's a terrible time for driving but there's nothing that can be done, it's simply the luck of the draw. Now that...

I've had my deposit down since early/mid Aug and I'm unsure as to whether I'll get tapped for an FE by my dealer. These extra color choices take the sting out of it a bit.... Looking forward to seeing that white or Zinc Gray on a production vehicle.

I’m not a red car guy but damn that’s a nice color and TomE’s description, after seeing it in person, is making me seriously rethink my current spec.

So retro….

Just great work…. I’ve narrowed my choices down to two and would love to see the side by side: Verdant Green, Silver Ultra Lightweight Wheels, tan interior and yellow calipers Verdant Green, Silver ULW Wheels, Red interior, Red calipers Please……
