Trust me, the process doesn't get any better when you actually are expecting your car. 4 days this week I've been promised my final invoice to pay as my car arrives next week. Another day gone and nothing. I explicitly said I want to avoid the problems that others have had with payment issues...

Day 3 of waiting for the invoice for delivery next week. Day 3 of contacting them asking where it is... Absolute dire ownership of tasks at Lotus...does not bode well for anybissues going forward

Have you lost your deposit if you were due for delivery and have now pulled out?

Get this: I wrote an arsey email to LCC telling them what a piss poor show it was. Got a phone call 2 hours later saying delivery was next week.... Was also told I'd receive the email after the call for final invoice.... Still waiting for that almost 24 hours later... There are some broken...

I thought the same when I received mine,the same day I had complained about hearing nothing yet again. Maybe it's to tie us down with that 5k deposit?knowing they are going to delay again? I call bull derdash.

In 4 days it will be my 30 days from when I completed checkout. Surprise surprise I've heard nothing on delivery dates, despite chasing twice. I really am not looking forward to the aftercare with Lotus...

I wonder what this means for my vehicle due to be delivered this month as I did checkout last month?? Still heard nothing. If its a delay of 3 months,I'm done.

Hope they ring me back and tell the same....

All this talk of CAT deletes-how do you get this through an MOT as I imagine emissions would be higher?? Apologies if that's a noob question,I've never done it

Did you manage to find a decent black one,Tom? I got an advertised aluminium badge which actually came in as plastic,to stick over the existing badge,not ideal but OK for a start. Ideally i want a metal solid one but not sure how that would fit nor how to remove the original. I think I saw...

For me personally,Porsche is the benchmark,again I said personally. Reason being, the old boy had a love of Lotus and had a few when I was small,so the love of Lotus is inherited and I owned an elise a few years ago,loved it but it was too basic for my likings in terms of interior,so I left the...

100% this. Had I have known a year ago I'd still be waiting instead of the May 22 delivery, I'd have pulled out immediately. Clever tactics by Lotus,the truth would have had a mass of cancellations,its kept us here still,but left a very sour taste in our mouths.... Yet,despite this,I'm still...

With all this seat controversy,I think we can rule out this hashtag: #Fortheasses

I was just thinking the same. I had my checkout this week which i completed immediately,would not be happy with an email saying its delayed. Although,theoretically why are we getting a checkout email.if not complete.... But theoretical and Lotus do not fit well together....

That would have been beneficial for getting in and out of the old Lotus'.....

The amount of "bad backs" on this forum makes me wonder what the average age of a Lotus customer is.......🤣🤣

Forget Harry's review this weekend,I'm more interested in @TomE 's thoughts after his test drives this week.....

I don't understand this call as I've seen a number of black wheel models with the silver bolts already, black would be better of course but didn't realise black was the requirement...

My birthplace! I believe its also a Royal Sutton Coldfield now. Are you collecting From Rybrook Solihull also?

Have you had your checkout email then,Tom? I've was told by LCC that my car was actually in Production now and expect to get the checkout email when complete ... I don't really believe it either....

First World problems...

Am I the only one that thinks the clip of him opening the boot and water going all over the supercharger is an extremely bad design fault. To be fair,Scott did show him a way to open it slowly so that it filtered down the sides at the base of the engine bay,Harry just launched it up and soaked...

So they made a deposit at goodwood,July 8th/9th And have received it before myself and others who made deposits before then,have even had the checkout email!?!?!?! FFS 🤬

I also felt that some questions were purposely answered for the camera and this forum for example. I'm pretty sure his deposit date changed to address any angry customers.... BS

Are you hedging your bets with England and Spain???

Is that released later today??? Excited much....I'm so sad....and don't care

What does this mean for the base model too then? 2025???

That's a good way to see it actually,valid point. I was thinking purchase cost of 80k vs sale of 85k. Touché

Not really worth the flip if that's all they got.

Apologies if I missed it,but do we know the actual sale price of any listed Emira yet( if any)

Yes . It's still lower than most others,I'm just having a moan

I did tell you I was going to be the new Leonard. It's OK,rant over. Moan about rate hike/delay-look for alternatives on autotrader-acknowledge nothing else tickles my fancy -Repeat.... I've done this at least 4 times since waiting for this car.... Nearly there..

What annoys me more is that I look on autotrader and there is nothing else I want 🤣 Damn you , Lotus,you've got me by the Charles de Gaulle's

Rates have gone up to 8.9% now. Really getting tired of this,their delays are causing us to pay more and more. I have contemplated pulling out of the FE and going for the base when things should have calmed down ,but that's looking at least 2024 for a base now too.... It seems silly to pull...

Great news,congratulations. All sounding very promising.

He's actually gone??? The forum has got less grumpy 😪maybe I should take his place....

Its great to see more and more people getting their checkout emails..sounds promising ..I just hope the delivery isn't 2-3 months after for most,as one Chap had.

My spec too. I think I saw a video of one the other day like this but with red calipers

Is this the one for sale at £115k on pistonheads.com?
