I also got the "contact in two weeks" bit on my mail, but no price protection as didn't order until September 2021... I rang them, so i assume the contact in two weeks would have been "your not getting it until July onwards". See what happens this time next week. I have not received that other...

It's 100% false. A few members here, like yourself, are all having builds done before then. This is a concern for me, as I feel like the guy was just stringing me along, and I'm going to get another considerable delay which is going to force me to pull out. What email did you get about the...

Thanks for the info. Sounds like a simple process, thats good to know. Payments is not too bad either. Do they take care of private number plates? I'm thinking I just do it myself at my leisure to avoid even more delays! lol. Think i'll ring them again and call them out on this "No autos being...

Thanks for the info. Really trying to get an idea of how all this works to gauge if I should cancel my order and get something else. The current deal on my car ends in September, so I want to get rid of it, but I cannot be without a car. V6 Auto, deposit paid September 2021. They told me that...

If you don't mind me asking, what was the final finance figures and monthly cost? Also, what's the procedure? do you just apply online and then send in the deposit? Does the money we already gave lotus get transferred to the agreement directly, or do we have to take part in that process? I...

How many FE's are they making? I hope that if they have 10k on a wait list, 7k+ would be i4s, else they wont even get to the i4 production in the next 5 years at this pace

That is good news for me, then, as we are not talking thousands upon thousands... perhaps July is realistic

Be nice to know a position number at this point. I know they don’t do that to stop cancellations, but I need to know the probability of me getting a car before end of July. If I’m 2000+ in line I won’t get it until December at this rate, which is no good for my circumstances

I paid the first deposit on 28th Sepetember 2021. Perhaps he means the latecomers start in June?

I rather your timeline than mine! let see what other info comes in

Didn't catch his name, but rang lotus UK on Friday afternoon, via the number on our emails, and he said autos will start in June. Mine should be started in June, July delivery. I rang to see if i could get a more firm date as my current car has to go back soon, and I cannot be without a car, so...

Interesting. Had a phone call and they told me a hard June start date on the Autos... They won't be pulling it forward unless an insane number of cancellations happened. They had 'lots' of manual cancellations, his lots and mine probably differ greatly

I spoke to Lotus on Friday for more info, Autos are being started in June. And it sounds like a hard date too, so you will be paying the increase, even if they move your build date forward they will have you sign June 1st. I would not be shocked if some of us on the Auto list get the car a week...

Do you know how many are in the FE Manual and Auto queue? I'm a black sheep auto FE, Lotus told me they are not even looking at making autos until June. I assume the auto list is a short one

If they only build around 100 cars a month we may as well get our money now, buy something else and then put an order down in 2 years. I was told they have a few thousand orders... Being kicked back to June, I will assume im 4000+ in line. By the time I get to the front ICE sales will be banned...

Less than 100,000 total in world sales? Seems low. Or is that just initial sales?

... and its gone. They removed that from the Lotus channel listing. If you view the video directly from the video you posted it now also says "unlisted". I assume it will be taken fully removed later today

I would feel uneasy about getting performance cars second-hand. Never know what the owner has done in it. Perhaps thats a mute point in todays market, though... also, the R8 very very nice!

I'm also in the ball-kicking group. Probably cancel it and look at getting a Porsche GT4. Will need to test drive it etc first, but at least i will have a chance of getting a car. The more they push my build back the more finance cost rise, to compound on the price hike.
