I'll second the point on torque. I know this is an odd comparison, but I went from a V6 Pentastar Jeep Wrangler (JK) to an i4 Turbo Jeep Wrangler (JL) and the difference in acceleration is night and day. Mind you the changes from the JK to the JL model also dropped a lot of weight (~325lbs), but...

Weren't the UK i4 deliveries supposed to start in June? Or am I misremembering the time line they put out?

Interesting that US dealer (I assume) are using a Spanish bank, I am intimately familiar with Banco Santander and their internal procurement processes. Did he say Lotus USA or Lotus?

You hit on the point I was going to make - if you finance, and deposit a check from the lender (or transfer in to your account), then pay the dealer from your own account (cashiers or ACH or wire) they couldn't refuse. I have done this before with a specific lender with which I had a long...

(All EA Attendees Reply): "Hi Dan.." couldn't help myself..

Went to that dealer to see the cars (after the pic was posted) they were not happy about it at all - now I'm sure they are REALLY not gonna be happy about it.. :ROFLMAO:

Not if I never receive it.. just sayin.. #stillwaitingforsoon

I hope, I really want some of those features..

I received a 2025 target timeline in an email, but I'm in the US and they are blaming "supply chain issues". Moreover, others have received their gift, with delivery messages and tracking numbers, but I have not heard a peep..

Was promised gift in my delay email, but nothing has arrived and no email on delivery.. They did ay "soon" so I was not expecting.

So seems this has happened to several folks - I am curious if any have had software updates? And to what version (or just date)? I know I have read elsewhere that actually finding the version number is almost impossible, or impossible. would be interesting to add Software Update dates to this...

first image that hit my head..

..or at least some model training.. to date, it looks like he is suffering from prompt poisoning..

Yep, got the same.. Funny others have mentioned a "gift" and a "no gift" version. Guess I should expect a gift?

I'm out Leesburg way, when not in Florida, good to know there are regular events in DMV.. I will just have to live vicariously since Lotus pushed the AMG to '25..

That is exactly where the email I received ended up, and my delivery is a year out to boot..

Wow! Seems Lotus loves their surprises.. I will be on the CarPlay side of things, so I hope you are right about the CarPlay implementation. However, I am going to have to wait, Lotus pushed the AMG based Emira another year here in the US (was told Jan '24 - then was given the Christmas gift of...

I locked-in in October and never received ANY communications - just a screenshot from my dealer showing that lotus accepted the submission, issued a submission ID, and stated the order would be locked on the 20th of the month. However, I never received anything from Lotus - not even a seasons...

So clear some things up for me - I understood the AUS version did not include DAB, and now you are saying no NAV either, so do you at least have CarPlay/Android Auto to compensate? Also "remembering the mp3" - are you referring to reading from USB drive?

Nimbus makes Osmium Silver almost look flat by comparison - at least when comparing these two pictures.

Nice to know, but what other purpose would there be for connecting to wifi in the mean time?

Yes sir.. you hit on my biggest point when defending Nimbus - Class, looks like a Bond type car, especially the "Harry Spec". Only fence issue for me is silver v. diamond cut wheels - I really can go either way, so I locked-in silver and figured I could faux a diamond cut with vinyl if I wanted..

Could it be that China is "ok" with including the ADAS hardware and delivering, with a promise of future features? Whereas, as stated previously, there is a hard requirements of certain ADAS features for vehicles delivered in the UK June '24?

One more thought on options - since lotus has opened up the configurations for a short time, put out the word that someone could get what they want i4 spec wise, then once you have a buyer contact Park Place and have them change your spec to what the buyer wants - they can't say "no", as being...

Welcome to the wait :ROFLMAO:.

Well that is one difference - once the spec has been accepted by Lotus in the US you are locked-in, no refunds. I have seen others mention a second down payment, but I have not been subjected to that with my dealer. However, as I mentioned my dealer has guaranteed the price I was quoted at...

Does the UK do the same as the US, as far as once you have locked in a spec the price is set - regardless of price changes? At least that is the guarantee from my dealer, but not sure it's the same when dealing directly with Lotus in the UK. Just curious. But it will be interesting to see what...

I received the Lego set from my family as well...

Another question around ADAS is whether the hardware (pod, sensors, etc.) is in place, but not the software - meaning it could be updated with the additional features in the future if not delivered with those features (á la Tesla). However, the legislation/partial functionality/type approval...

Don't have an answer for you. However, you would hope it would be included, especially with an extra year of building/fixing issues with regards to the i4 delivery..

That was my thought exactly - the only supply issue could be AMG with all the other delivery activity happening on the v6 platform. However, it still leaves a question on certification. It feels like the certification process (for the US) is a roadblock too. Seems it takes roughly 6mo based on...

Not only have I not been contacted, but I accidentally notified my dealer as the the GM was out of town and not on the "big" US Dealers/Lotus call where they dropped that little nugget - but for us in the US the schedule has moved to 2025.

Honestly, it's not my dealer, and neither are my car. I am still waiting for them to show up 250mi south. Someone had posted some pictures from a dealer in Florida, the ones with the cat on the car. I happened to know the dealer and was in town on work, so I stopped in.. My assumption was they...

Don't think so, I spoke with my dealer extensively about the MyLotus portal. He was un aware too, but he did some research, and it seems to be for folks that purchased directly from Lotus. But don't take that as gospel. I did try to register from the link(s) I was able to find (for grins), its...

I assume it was the sales manager on site that day - I spoke with a sales rep next to the front door, she went back to speak to manager and when she came back her adamance on the rules sounded very much like she just got an ear full. I did not hear the conversation, as it was in an office, and...

Had a conversation with my dealer on this - there isn't one. I showed him screenshots of the portal, gave him the link, and the first question was "Is your friend that provided the screenshots in Europe?" He did go off and ask Lotus, and it seems we don't get a portal.. I do have a screenshot...
