Depends on how much you want to be custom. If you don’t mind leather vs alcantara, one caliper color over another, V6 vs i4 then just wait and pick up a yr old used one. Otherwise, yea 14 months may be pushing it….. but not by much. 18-20 seems reasonable.

How long did your dealer have it before it was PDI’d and ready for you to pick up

Did anyone answer this question? I’m a bit curious myself.

Doesn’t look like HY. Maybe an Evora….?

I guess I’ll be the one to say driving in Track mode all day seems like something you’d want to do. But, yea I’d go to the dealer because you don’t know what other settings may be on or off that could potentially interfere with each other; like the touring valves but track rpms.

Mine is there!!!

How would you get the valves to be fully open when you remove the fuse?

Yea, that’s not your dealers fault…..you’re at the speed of California bureaucracy. I can tell you that posters on another thread have been told Spring 2025 for their FE i4’s. These are folks in the NE.

i4 or V6? If i4 they still have to wait for the EO from CARB which should have happened by now. If a V6 then probably sooner rather than later.

I see where people post that their “dealer told them” but in this forum people have been able to post the EO when it comes. I haven’t seen the actual post yet. I’m just wondering if that’s the reason the i4 hasn’t been shipped yet. Of course we may see some in 2 weeks on the next ship.

Do we have anything on the CARB certification?

Maybe but a spring delivery would be a current allocation. You would be placing your confirmation order now in order to take delivery this spring. The window is very tight but you may be able to find one. Understand, most folks are 2-3 years waiting so you might be able to shorten that a little...

It’s going to depend a lot on the dealership and how many allocations they received. I got my VIN for a V6 auto FE about two weeks ago. Original deposit fall of 2022. Confirmed factory order May 2024. From what I understand FE V6 are done with production for the year. We’re just waiting on...

Do we have any news on incoming shipments since the delay at the NE ports?

Texan here……if my car arrives on time, I’ll drive through what we call “winter”.

I know right. I don’t get it. John Elway Chevy Lotus of Denver. Are they near the Patterson Ford McLaren?

Deposit in March of this year, unless it was a brand new dealer, would have been for a base model. Production on the FE V6 just ended in September. You likely have a bit of a wait ahead. Also, welcome to the Lotus family. For reference, Lotus is both singular and plural. So it’s one Lotus or...

A B58 should fit

What scan tool are you using and which phone app?

Not yet. Considering the Evora came in a 410 and 416 it’s not a stretch. Lotus has not discontinued the V6. That was a rumor based on Toyota production shutting down that lineup. There are plenty of engines available for the near term given Lotus’ production capacity.

Your dealer could tell you if your spot in line had an allocation. If you were getting delivery this year they would know that.

I’m in the 4700’s. Gonna be a minute for me I guess

Pretty sure FB required a minimum mileage of 300 to be posted.

FaceTime walk around with the sales rep. I’ve done it on cars that were several states away before I flew out to buy it. Gives you a good look at the interior and a rundown of the features that you want to ensure are included and working.

The luxury tax doesn’t apply to used vehicles so you may be able to pick one up close to your spec.

Base anything is a joke. Ford used to advertise Mustangs for $15k. No dealer had them because they were 💩

Not the deposit, I mean the factory order where they approve your submission. Did they approve your specific order and then tell you that it wasn’t going to be made at the price you submitted? Mine, for example, has the options I chose, the price, and a submission ID #. I do not have a VIN yet...

When did you submit your factory order and when did they tell you it wasn’t going to happen?

Seems only fair since we didn’t get the Evora 410 in 2017.

Thankfully that’s an older note. They passed EPA so CARB can’t be too far behind. I don’t imagine they could sell MY 2024 cars starting in 2025. Doesn’t make sense but then again……..

The US was always 400. The i4 sold in some marks was slightly less.

On another thread someone posted the option pricing as a two page list.

Oooooh you put in sport mode and voided your warranty…..I’m tellin’

$20k seems high. I looked at the sheet and it’s not that far off from the FE from what I can see. Better check for yourself.

Me too, seems standard.

Maybe a McLaren GT or a Maserati MC20. Gently loved Huracan would be the outside.

Yea, I don’t think that’s correct.

AMG? Believe I saw a post that another shipment landed on the 23rd.

That’s drivers ed 101. Lean a little to the left, adjust so you just see the faint line of the car. Lean slightly to the right, same thing. Sitting straight you won’t see your own car but trust me, it’s still there.

I’m also getting close. My build confirmation from Lotus has an expected build date of September so delivery shouldn’t be too far behind.
