I continue to get absolutely zero updates from my dealer. I finalized my i4 within a day of when they advised me that my order could be finalized (10/3/2023). I just reached out to them today and they have zero updates. I think I am coming up on two years since the 1st deposit. I am...

I heard the i4 has not passed CARB yet so any deliveries are on hold. Can anyone confirm/deny this?

Exactly my frustration with Porsche. I feel like they change the cosmetic bits and powertrain, then refer to the new one as a revolutionary car.

This is interesting, I thought some shared that the i4 auto was going to be built BEFORE the V6 auto. Am I remembering this backwards?

I tried 800-245-6887 twice and got VM both times with no callback. I so wish I could transfer dealerships, especially since there is a new dealer in SLC that is MUCH closer to me but my Seattle dealer advised me that once I paid the 2nd deposit (back in Oct 2023 for an i4 and BEFORE the i4...

How are you getting VIN info? My dealer said that they have zero info until it arrives on their lot. I talked with them last week about my i4 order and they advised that they have zero info and won't have any updates until it is on their lot.

I have literally received zero correspondence from Lotus, even though my Seattle dealer advised me back in October 2023 that my order was finalized and non-refundable. How do I get on this email update list?

Nice config! Mine is the same but with the i4...so I'm looking at probably the end of the year. :cry:

I just noticed that, very interesting!

I called my dealer on Monday asking if he had any news on my i4 that was finalized last October and of course....he has no updates. My order number is 040590. I've emailed Lotus via their contact form but no response. Love some input from those experts out there. Thanks!

I look forward to some day being in the group where I sell a car not to free up cash but to free up space. Love it!

I'm in the USA, is there a way for me to check the status of my backorder, other than my dealer? I never hear from them, and when I ping them they just tell me no updates.

Lucky you...jealous they allowed you to cancel.

I'm also waiting on Park Place Bellevue, but don't trust them at all, so once mine shows up (i4 so ~Q4) I will be driving up there to pick it up (I'm in Boise) to personally inspect it top to bottom. They have provided zero communication and 'conveniently' called me a week before the i4 delay...

Wow...you got an email from your dealer? I receive absolutely zero from them...except when they asked for the non-refundable deposit back in November (they didn't even advise of the i4 delay, I heard about that on here). Would love to back out but they won't give me my money back, nor allow me...

Lotus advised me directly that I could cancel and that I just needed to talk to Park Place. Park Place said no. Chatted with an attorney but will cost about $10k to do anything, other than just send a letter, which he said I'm sure isn't the first time they've done this to someone so they will...

Yes they did, the issue was that they called me mid-October and said I needed to finalize my i4 order within the next 48 hrs for me to get the February/March delivery slot, otherwise I would lose it. I wired them the funds (because they said they couldn't wait two days for a paper check), then...

Wish I could exit, but dealer won't refund my $15k. Lucky for you that had a better dealer. For those in the NW USA, please oh please go somewhere other than Park Place in Bellevue.

It is indeed. I tried all I could to back out of my i4 once I heard about the push to 2025 and Park Place in Bellevue, WA said not a chance. Lotus said no problem, but Park Place said the contract was with them and just because the car has been delayed 10 months isn't grounds for me to receive...

Congrats! I have received ZERO response from Park Place, they have been the absolute worst dealer I've worked with in my life so I'm glad to hear they are at least helping you. Would love to hear how this progresses, I am in Vancouver quite often as my best friend lives just north of downtown...

Am I the only one that would be nervous about getting one that has been sitting for a year waiting for CARB approval?

That is probably what I will end up doing, but since it is an i4 I am in a holding pattern until Q1 2025.

Can you advise how you logged in? My dealer gave me an order number but I have no idea whether or not it was actually entered at Lotus.

Well unfortunately Park Place Ltd's GM and owner are just a bunch of a-holes. I emailed the owner advising him of the situation and he didn't even reply. The GM basically said go pound sand. We went back and forth a couple times and he said that although the contract says they will advise of...

For those that aren't aware of my situation, quick backstory: I paid a $5000 deposit in December 2022. Then in October 2023 I was advised that there were delivery slots available for a spring 2023 delivery of the i4. I agreed, completed the 'official' Lotus order form, and wired an additional...

I wanted an automatic. I love manuals, but appreciate the faster shifts and daily driver friendliness of a paddle box. I also believed that the i4 had more HP potential than the 6. Many moons ago I drove an Eagle Talon TSI that was turbocharged and I actually got a kick out of the turbo lag...

Early on I was so excited and couldn't wait. Finally at a point in my life where I could buy a $100k car, and even more perfect that it was going to be a Lotus. I used to have wallpapers and screensavers of the early Elise, then fell in love with the 400. Once I heard about the Emira I put...

I just heard about this via a YouTube video also! If this is true I'll be having a serious discussion with my dealer.

Anyone else see this? At 3:45 he states that i4 Emiras will not be delivered to USA customers until 2025. If this is true I'm cancelling my order, and taking them to court if needed. I finalized my order over a month ago (1st deposit over a year ago) and 'supposedly' now that it is finalized...

Paid my 2nd deposit on the i4 a month ago, hoping for Q1 or Q2 delivery to Washington State dealer, but of course crickets from Lotus. I've heard the trunk is not as hot on the i4, I'll advise after I get some miles on it!

I'll throw my vote out there on this topic, from the US: Core economics is a supply/demand curve. When supply decreases, demand increases. Therefore I don't agree with others on this thread that there will be a plethora of them on the used market in 2024. I think there will continue to be...

I was at the Lotus dealer in Shenzhen about two weeks ago and they had multiple Emiras on the floor. Yellow, green, and grey. Absolutely beautiful, makes me even more excited for mine. I was disappointed to see them all with black interior, I love the grey like yours but I don't trust myself...
