Anyone received their 30 day notification yet?

[BeHappy]

We will find out when the video is released I guess!

I’ll scribe my email now in preparation ready to hit send at 17:31 Sunday. I only want yellow callipers rather than Red 😢

Has everyone in the 'September 9' completed checkout now??

 

[912Matt]

That would be some rise...

Not out of the question though given current market expectations

 

[Lots_Of_Trouble]

Are you been serious!!!!! Whilst weve been locked in like 7 months and can’t change jack Sh** 😡🤬🤬😡

Pisses me off too,rushed to lock in back in January, w%nkers.why am I still here??

 

[Magicman]

Vantage or 570S for me!

I'm thinking 570s but an earlier manual v10 spider r8 also has an appeal

 

[TomE]

Looking forward to the video; though...🤔...

If Harry's chassis has "VIP" on it, do the rest just say "commoner"? I wonder what mine will say

Received my checkout email last week, number plate assigned, finance approved - good to go - just waiting on collection dates now.

Then got that email we all got... so hoping mine isn't delayed further, as if I've got through all the checkout I assume it's actually built already?

I don't think you can assume anything unfortunately. People who completed checkout in early/mid Sept still haven't been contacted about delivery.

Mine will be Type Approval / handbook fiasco guy

No, there are several who haven't had the Checkout email yet.

There are also a few people who had been told they were in the Oct build batch and have had the Checkout email.

Lol my thoughts 💭 why am even still here, just waiting till demo to see if this car has been worth the wait and sacrifice of not having a car for soooo long or actually car is nothing special and I’ll go and spend my 💰 where I feel valued as a customer

Watch 100s drop out if these rise over 11%

watch 100s drop out if most of us are moved into 2023

It's far from perfect but it is at least some form of communication so we should at least be thankful of that, what they REALLY need to do now is follow it up with the more individual production estimate it promises.

Agreed. Last time they sent a general "more delays" email and promised specifics to follow, it took 6+ weeks for them to communicate the specific impact to individuals.

Today I'm about 4-6 weeks away from when my car should have been delivered and have now got an email from Lotus saying it is delayed. For each of the previous delivery dates I was told, it was about 4-6 weeks beforehand when Lotus told me it was going to be delayed. Six delays now.

They said the last two times they were confident in the new dates and did not expect them to change. Whatever new dates they give aren't going to be credible. I think we just have to wait until they eventually appear on our driveways, or move on.

Still no check out email for me (‘September 9’). I keep chasing them

You may well be right, but I suspect there will be a large number of people like me who would actually now prefer the car to arrive early spring rather than in the depths of winter. Providing the price doesn’t go up in the meantime of course

Nope :-(

Agree i'm now thinking I4

I’ve asked if current finance rates will be honoured, as customers should not be penalised through no fault of their own.

I sympathise but one could also ask should companies be penalised through no fault of their own.... they are not willing their suppliers to fall behind..
I suggest Lotus's margins are already cut into in the current situation, quite heavily, and that interest rates will be what the markets allow and wont be subsidised by Lotus... I'd be amazed if Lotus give you any good news there, but I hope they do
