Configurator link and order sequence

[OUI131]

After completing the configurator and paying my deposits I couldn’t find any record of my configuration so I asked CS. They kindly send me a hyper link and a separate configurator code in case the link didn’t work, this was jan 22.
The final part of the link was a number
210706220857

is it just a coincidence that I got my order confirmation email at

2208 gmt on the 6th July 2021. Maybe at that time I was the 57th order?

Interesting. By that logic I'm number 59.

Or it could be 22:08:57secs...

Does anyone have a number over 59?!

 

[OUI131]

Unfortunately I think your logic is probably correct

It's unlikely that the 57/59 part is seconds. That reference number has to be unique so if it was seconds it wouldn't allow two orders to be submitted within the same second otherwise they would have the same reference. So OP you could be right about a sequence.

 

[James DG]

Good point although the link includes my email address which could provide the required uniqueness.

We need more numbers to be sure!

it could also be possible that nr. 57 or 59 at the end are referring to the position of the order in that. specific date?

just checked on my pc and the time is different so i did an outlook file propeties and it comes up as 1509:33 PDT, its a gmail account so that probably why PDT

I thought the ordering became live at 2200 GMT so I was 8 minutes too slow !

Mine is 210707104029
I placed the order on the 7th July at 10.40 in 2021 - so position 29 on that day.

Im 2107, 10th July, 16.41pm, 12th on day if correct

It must be seconds as mine was reserved on 07/07/21 at 22:35 and the final two digits are 21 - I couldn't have been 21st customer for that day

B I N G O time!

OK, what are the first four numbers apart from 21 being the year ordered, anyone place an order in 2022 to verify this?

Mine 10th of July so the below number would make me number 7 number 107 or 5107 so doesn't stack up.

210710095107

did you order at 9.51am on the 10th, that would make you 7 on the day, I ordered afternoon so 12th? grabbing at straws, but passes the time whilst we wait for the call notifying of our delivery date (sorry meant delay)

 

[DJS]

Great spot that is correct

Last two digits are seconds

could be, I was hoping it was place to get idea were I am in the overall queue

Still at least we now know Lotus does have a timed order sequence
so how many have online orders before mine?

 

[James DG]

My online order was the following day (7th July) although I ordered with Bell & Colvill on April 28th '21.

How much difference that early dealer deposit will make now I don't know...

Latest from CS is an August build (originally June).

Ahhhh I was told I was around customer 700 so it says 710 on my number so again makes sense, does that work for anyone else?
