Yeah, I'd assume it would have to be something sanctioned by Gator. I guess I didn't think about the additional complexities with Lotus. I really can't see why it it would matter but maybe I'm just being naive.

It's been awhile since I've been on here, but looks like not much has changed. I was called about the FE2.0 some months back. Was essentially "first" in line as my deposit was in July '21... Miss FE1.0 by a slot or two. However, right before being contacted I was looking at the news of how...

Yeah, I’ve been scrolling for 10 min to get an update here and still have no idea if any FEs have landed state side. I guess with all the banter, it’s safe to say the answer is…nope. I pushed my FE 2.0 allocation to a base because I don’t trust that the extra allotment from Lotus wasn’t simply...

I would have been one of the first FE 2.0 allocations at Gator. I dropped out last week and pushed mine to a base, so someone will be bumped up. I just lost all confidence in Lotus over the past two years. Put my deposit down right after Goodwood 2021… With the news that lotus sacked 200...

While logically I’d agree with you, but…this is Lotus we’re talking about. You must be new here 😂.

Yeah I’m aware. It’s not the deposit that has me upset lol.

That’s awesome. Just under $16k cheaper than what I’m being hit with for the FE 2.0 Starting to consider alternative options now that I have to make a decision. Might push mine out for a base and just watch the used market once the first batch reaches the states

Yeah, up $11k from the time I placed my deposit over two years ago… still makes me mad

Just got my email requesting final deposit for FE 2.0 from Gator. Ngl, seeing the cost increase in formal writing really pisses me off. Guess I have to make a final decision before the 24th as to whether I want to keep this disappointment going.

Easily said when you already have it in your possession and aren’t facing price hikes and delays like most of us across the pond. Nice garage btw.

That’s true love.

To increase the odds of not getting a lemon.

Exactly! It’s only fair that the i4 deposit holders get the same level of broken promises and lack of updates as the rest of us. Glad to see Lotus understands this and is making changes to correct.

As another early July 2021 depositor. I can say with certainty…it does not.

The solution here is easy, just buy 3! Oh wait.. 😂

It’s like lotus is actively wanting to make people cancel their orders. I’m honestly considering it at this point. Over two years since I placed my deposit. Missed the FE boat by 2 slots. I was rewarded with a price hike and even further wait. I even took a trip to Europe for a factory tour...

Nope because f*k you

I love the community and camaraderie found here, and really appreciate you guys, but I really didn’t need the reminder of how long I’ve been waiting lol. Seriously, at this point I will have put my deposit down 3 years in advance of seeing my car…🥲

Cheaper to run? As in fuel costs? Willing to bet that the service costs long run will take it down a notch or 3.

What kind of dog do you have? Buying this car as a daily, with no backup, is really a major lifestyle choice. I’d assume the majority of us here have multiple vehicles but could be wrong. Instead of a seat delete, why not fully lower and recline the seat and add in layers of “bedding” to make...

Just leave it outside over night in a metropolitan area. Someone will delete it for you. Free of charge!

Nope. All hopes of a publicity stunt are dashed. It was fun to think about though.

I’m sorry about all the problems you’re having, but fuck everything about start stop. I’m so glad they didn’t implement that bullshit on the Emira.

July 12th, 2021 depositor here in the US. Was told I missed the FE by 2 spots. Still haven’t been contacted for ordering…basically 2 years after deposit. I even flew to the UK for a factory tour last year; met Windle, the entire executive group, and the CEO of Geely (Daniel Li Donghui). No...

This is something we asked about during a factory tour back In September. Said they had no knowledge of issues on that end.

I figured that might have had something to do with it. Thanks for the clarification.

I’m in the same boat, and feel your pain. I placed a deposit on July 12th, 2021. In May of last year, I was told by Gator that I was 2 spots away from an FE allocation. In December, I was told that I was 5th in line for a base model. I’m unsure how that math works out, lol. I’ve been waiting...

Is this the first documented full PPF on an Emira? Looks like they brought it to Lotus Hause. Kinda neat. I was there back in sept…first Emira I saw in the flesh.

Probably more indicative of the life support local malls have been on for many years. I think Covid was the nail in the coffin… Now, even old people realize how much easier it is to just buy shit online.

Your car is likely built already. It’s probably sitting with/behind others pending final QAQC. Whether it’s still in Chapman, or somewhere else…I personally wouldn’t be mad. I’d guess it means they are being thorough, yet fair. They are walking a tight rope IMO. Balancing the option between...

@Hapkin wanted to discuss and finalize last weekend to get it out before Harry’s video (which I was unaware of at the time). Allowing someone to film inside is a considerable edge lol. Hard to compete with that and the resources he has. I actually haven’t even seen the video yet. Either way, you...

I really shot myself in the foot on this one lol. Had to get past several recent unexpected events. Now, the time driven hype and anticlimactic ideas (mentioned above) make me question worthwhile of everything.

Sorry guys. Simply put, to say my last week has been crazy is an understatement. From major issues at my rental properties (I personally manage), to being promoted at my day job (before I could catch up from 2 weeks in Europe), combined with some other time demanding “life events”, I haven’t...

Honestly, I didn't see a single V6 auto while on the tour. However, that is not indicative of much as there were not many chances to go inspect all the vehicles in the shop; especially without going to open doors on each. There's no good way to spot them from the outside. I even asked about...

I received a follow up email from them today. I could throw that out there but I have a feeling they know…and I’m not trying to overstep boundaries. Has Lotus ever really been focused on PR? Or have they mostly relied on their products to sell themselves or be hyped by others? I’m about to...

Head East, through the desert, to Southern California before heading North along the coast towards the Pacific Northwest. Highway one, redwoods and a childhood fantasy dating back to N64 Cruis'n USA.

I saw many of them but do not have a picture. The best way to describe it (without repeating what everyone has already said)...DV varies from green to black by the same range as SG varies from grey to black. DV with a tan interior and black pack is my choice and it still hasn't changed since...

I honestly think all of the FE colors are like this. Very dynamic depending on lighting, which I think was the goal in selecting them.

They are on the brighter side but ultimately still much deeper than those pictures, which make it look washed out.
