Here's hoping they open I4 orders next week once reviews are published. Presume prices and specs will be out next week?!Been a while on here since anyone based in the UK posted they had received a 3rd call/build slot. Have Lotus so far only committed to those receiving their Emira in June/July for now??
Yes, I can confirm that with a first deposit paid 26th July, I am yet to receive a "final call" for specification and delivery!They have called UK V6 FE people with deposits up to mid 11 July about delivery slots from June to September. Calls to people from 11 July afternoon onwards and for i4 FE/Base Edition next steps are supposed to start "in March".
I was 2nd if August so you and I could possibly be around the same timeYes, I can confirm that with a first deposit paid 26th July, I am yet to receive a "final call" for specification and delivery!
Starting to think "would it be better taking delivery after March next year" rather than Autumn going into Winter! Not a good thought really!!!I was 2nd if August so you and I could possibly be around the same time
I literally have been thinking the same, with previous release dates discussed around April 22 I was hoping to get it some time at least late summer. The main reason I put money down early for a V6 FE was because I didn’t want to wait until the i4 came out but now I’m in two mindsStarting to think "would it be better taking delivery after March next year" rather than Autumn going into Winter! Not a good thought really!!!
What about those still waiting for V6 FE calls....They have called UK V6 FE people with deposits up to mid 11 July about delivery slots from June to September. Calls to people from 11 July afternoon onwards and for i4 FE/Base Edition next steps are supposed to start "in March".

Good info as ever Tom, will that be on the 47th of March?What I said in my post...
So do you still feel for second call 3rd Dec 2021, get car Dec 2022 ? you seem to have handle on this.... I realy begin to feel i need to look at other options, Lotus seem inable to sort things out, I think despite all the good will, the company is going to kill its self..... Still after all that been said they dont seem able to help them selfs, The DRIVE thing stinks of cheap rebranding....What I said in my post...
Just for info, I was late am on the 11th July, no call yet so you’re bang on Tom.What I said in my post...
Sadly there is track record of Lotus saying "soon" and it actually being "never" and saying "in December" when it's now "in March (but we might change our minds again and not tell anyone)". I can pass on what I've been told but unfortunately can't make them stick to itGood info as ever Tom, will that be on the 47th of March?
It's the timing of the first deposit that matters, not the second. Here's what I said before, when the third calls started:So do you still feel for second call 3rd Dec 2021, get car Dec 2022 ? you seem to have handle on this....

The Drive release is PR BS. It's the bare minimum required for a direct channel - a means of choosing your config, placing your order and selecting finance and trade in options. They've got it live a week before the press reviews start, so the timing is pretty obvious, but the majority of it was already there for existing deposit holders.So do you still feel for second call 3rd Dec 2021, get car Dec 2022 ? you seem to have handle on this....

Yes, I think we've gleaned that from your earlier comms on this topic Tom and your forthright view on this is sadly very accurate. They must do better!Sadly there is track record of Lotus saying "soon" and it actually being "never" and saying "in December" when it's now "in March (but we might change our minds again and not tell anyone)".

Oh yes PR BS...... once again tells us the mind set of people running the show. Had to laugh.... they do a media launch, dont even update the website front page with a link, no mention of DRIVE any place other than the media page.The Drive release is PR BS.

There are still no updates to the website for specifications, timings, process, FAQs etc. Nor any new content such as links to the Gavan videos and so on. Apart from the updated configurator it's unchanged from when pricing was announced last September.
On the plus side, I expect a big influx of new forum members next week as press reviews come out, with people looking for more information!
I hope this does not come true..... my money will be going else whereThere is rumour that late Jul deposit could get to 2023 delivery. I certainly hope that this isn't the case. I hope that Lotus can share more and be transparent in the near future.
