so..... just makes me feel I did the right thing getting out, order list not being followed.... about time he came on and said something.... this should of been done months ago, but much much more should of been done months ago.........sorry for the guys still waiting.... I still miss the idea...
I drove the 4.0 GTS before I got out of the Emira, the electric steering is better than in the 918 vesion, but like you I did not find it an event...... I brought a Bentley Super Sport.... now thats an event every time i start it.... and when i feel like fushing on the 3.6 to 60 give every bit...
Mate some of us have had dinner with the MD.... told him first hand whats going wrong..... what happend.... They may be ok in public.... but when other poeple whom have the say so.... block things what can be done..... When i said to .... about thiefdoms.... he did not correct me... says...
Fiefdoms is exatchly what I said to Scott months ago..... Just before i asked for my money back..... they had us down, so we could tell them whats wrong... Tom E been on at them for months ..... its a lost cause..... but i dont have a dog in this now
Hi mate
How are you all doing, any one got a car yet.... Have you heard of Supercar Blonde.... on facebook ? Youtube? If you feel like a chat , happy to send you my number
Oh come on... Lotus do press release........ They did one for something called DRIVE...... am sure we can all remember what it is..... oh and that one about the custom things they can do ohnyour cars.... ? but I guess for that to work you need to make cars ?
sorry here you go guys...
They lost mine.... if I had not gone before, think this would of be a clear jump of point.... already getting told I would not be seeing my car till April/May 2023.... when told before Dec 2022
All you say is true.... and as for Covid.... I am effected by it every day.... its to do with my illness
Many think lotus still need to do better with coms
Lotus knew from last year the car was a hit... the numbers they had to deal with
Yes the world has changed, but they gave people the...
Yes.... but still hope one day to get a Lotus.... and friends are still in for the ride......
Sorry if you realy think this has any thing to with demand ? .... and if it turns out to be so..... they knew how many car they had to build for first batch some time ago.... long before thing in the...
Nothing wrong with being a fan boy
But Lotus need to do whats right by customer..... clear and honest communications..... which once again they have not..... Nothing to do wether they get lambasted for it.... its there JOB
I do wonder..... did they workshop.... the reason they have given for the delay..... did they sit and think about how to spin it...... sorry just have idea for comedy scit :ROFLMAO:
Tom good that you still see the better side of all this....
But come on they been playing at making cars since the start of the year.... they should beale to put one together now with eyes closed
The way, once again...... they are dealing with this is a sham.... the way they are treating customers
Becoming..... its been that for some time..... just not so funny any more..... clearly prople at Lotus feel thing are being done well..... you have to think that..... because that the do this and how..... truely tell you they dont give an F
Sorry having seen the factory..... lots of nice new kit...... but nothing new about how the cars are put together, just better tool. Once again , what ever the issue.... lotus are not being up front about it
Yep me thinking the same, the demand has been there from the start, how does it suddenley change things.... After all It Lotus..... ant thing is posible..... guess it best they could come up with :ROFLMAO:
Oh possible part changes or new part.....even with rapid prototyping.... then tooling more die casting.... or press out tools etc..... then again for Type approval..... a month gets very short
Hi @TomE , as ever well writen...... as you said nothing Lotus can do about issues in the world . But plenty they sould be doing for there customers, but still seems like they defalt to treating you like Mushrooms .... kept in the dark and feeding you s**t ..... That dispite the new hirings I...
With you there having had both Porsche, Maserati GT, Bmw 8 the new one.... Oh and the Bentley has sex apeal in its own way.... and it handles, perhaps not as good as Porsche.... but for so little money... and 0-62 in 3.7 seconds that right up there with the pransing horse and one whole second...
Oh it heavy, but move well.... better than you would think..... If the Emira inside is put together aswell as the Bentley, you are on to a winner..... :)
Oh yep... still here, hoping the people i have got to know get there cars and enjoy them.... but seem like they all have to wait a little longer :) just saying
I got my money back and got this instead
621 BHP.... 0-62 3.7 Seconds and top speed 202 MPH
Inside looks like new, and put together so well :) Leather, quilted alcantara seat, carbon trim
When are they going to get, when the only way to buy your car, is online, sales guys in dealers ? well not dealers, that have no interest in pushing the brand, and half the time the information they get is out of date..
we are enhancing the Lotus customer experience.....
When you want to buy...
Oh Sorry... have i missed something , not being around..... June deliverys moved to July
Well inflation reached 9% today..... the cars are soon going to cost more, if not the cost of the car, loaning money to pay for it, will be going up
On another note.....I pick up my 621 BHP 0-62 in 3.7...
Hi Tom..... as understand it, he does not have to commit to the buying of the car yet. He could just get his deposit back ?
Uk car tax can not be transfered ?
What a load of BS..... Due to a change of circumstances, I am looking to sell my car, which is due to be delivered in August 2022...... He is not locked in till 30Days before and pays his money etc.... the car has not been built yet, dont know about road tax, its not transferable ?. Whos name...
Hi Tom, yep the cost of lending money is out of Lotus's control, I did speak our friend, as frustarted as he is with how things are, not much he can do about world events putting things up either. But sure he would try if he could.
I know he has help a few with issues. Top bloke.
Someone did...
Yes had seen your post before, its what prompted me to check with Lotus CC, that when they told me about August depositers, and 2023.... I do hope the car is all you hope.... I still think its going to be a wonderfull car. But just lots faith, had to question, in the end whats it going to cost...
