So have we created the largest thread on this forum? Size matters!

FE 1.0 or 2.0? Was told my FE 2.0 should arrive mid-March (Charlotte)

Group buy for the Euro spec?

Well between this thread and fantasy football I should be fired!

Any guess as to the collective work hours that have been wasted as a result of this thread in the past 72-hrs?

Nova either works in Secret Service or REALLY needs a job!!!!!!

Adding on to Kitkat's statement about not saving money - if you are financing the rates for used cars are typically a few points higher as well. Might add up on a $100k vehicle.

Congrats! What port date are they giving you? DerTheDer - you know what you need to do....

Ordered from Charlotte. They confirmed they are only receiving FE 1.0s in this round so no-go for me.

Unreal. I had no idea - thanks for the article.

Makes sense. That's why we can't option pink windshield wipers or fart-can exhausts.

I call total BS on the supply chain constraints excuse given their deployment to the ROW. Might as well blame delays on Y2K.

NIce!!!

Guess that means the shipment is comingled 1.0s/2.0s? Going to get interesting here if the 2.0 crowd (includes me) gets their vehicle before the earliest deposit holders.

The measures they employ to protect a $100k vehicle is insane! I mean, all that vinyl tape! No possible way for dents or scratches!

Being in the FE 2.0 batch starting to sound good.

If I was a betting man my money would be on not extending the FE models but that Base V6 manuals to be next in line.

Might be "Only Editions" if Lotus keeps fu$%ing around with emissions certifications.

Prepare to be amazed!

Interesting that just a month ago dealers were pushing I4 FE's as still being available and delivery sooner than a Base V6.

If no word on Monday, I’d be curious Der if your plane can be equipped with armaments. Just asking for a friend……

I would have no problem telling people it’s hydrodipped. I personally think it simply looks better than plain plastic. Would I prefer real carbon fiber - sure. But the cost difference is too great for something that is purely for aesthetics. The wheel equivalency argument only applies if...

Definitely more believable than the previous Naples post.

I’ve got to say, the best first post by a new member I’ve seen yet. Thanks for the information and welcome to therapy!

Well if I get my Emira before you I will gladly swap it for your 992 GT3. I'll even throw in a 6-pack of your choice. Very nice stable you have there. And be leery of following KitKat's advice. All he's done is trash half of the Emira fleet in this country. Probably the cause for the U.S...

What is that term when you’re gratified by pain? Unfortunately thats us

A lot of us here have experienced the dealer issues from prior Elise/Exige/Evora purchases. I feel like this is more of a known potential issue (know what we signed up for) as opposed to expecting at least a few emails to keep us informed. I actually had a great experience from a service...

Guessing it will be similar to this: https://www.pcarmarket.com/auction/2023-porsche-911-carrera-t/

I would take those notices above with a grain of salt.

Bellevue said cars were on ships?

I’ve said it before. There will be a time when car inventories are plentiful and buyers scarce. Hope dealerships realize their short-sightedness will have consequences. Paying to jump the queue shows zero loyalty. I would never buy a vehicle from this dealer.

Good to hear you're getting back in the saddle and glad to have you back in this thread!

I’m thankful that my dealer - Charlotte - was truthful when I put my deposit down in Jan 22. Told me then that all FE’s were accounted for and that I was #15 in the queue for a base. Fast forward and because of cancellations I’m in the 2.0 pool and submitted my build two months ago. It’s...

I would say they are jacking people around. Well, maybe for an i4

That is simply unacceptable. Lotus should be beyond appreciative of your patience. You are the kind of enthusiast that Lotus should look to build a long term relationship with. It disturbs me that some dealerships are treating good customers this way.

As innovative as people are on this thread, surely someone could set up some kind of spam-bot to send hundreds of emails a day to Lotus. Not advocating, just a thought....

I’m certain you are on several “lists”. What’s one more?

Wow. No posts since yesterday evening. Clearly we are all exhausted by the brief exuberance caused by a shipping manifest. How desperate for crumbs are we? VERY!!!!
