Emira Configurator online this week in continental Europe

[Jan]

Lotus called me last week to inform me about the i4 delay. According to the lady at the phone, cars for costumers will be available from end of this year. Testdrives september-october.

The good news: she told me the configurator will be online this week. The configurator will mention the correct price for my country and will show alle available colours and options (I suppose exactly like on the UK website). So far, the configurator hasn't showed up. I suppose if it comes online in Belgium, it will also be the case in the rest of continental Europe.

Has anyone else gotten this phonecall?

May 23th I also received a package from Lotus. It had some chocolate, a scented candle and a flaske with lotus branding. I suppose as an excuse for yet another delay.

UK i4 deliveries are supposed to start in July (2023) with a ramp-up in August and beyond.....

I got a call from Lotus Europe last week as well. 15th June I am supposed to do my final configuration. They want to deliver in October 2023. I asked the guy if he is sure. He said, very sure.

I placed my order on the Brussels Motor Show. So january 2023.

The website changed since yesterday. The configurator hasn't showed up yet. But prices are online. 97 625 euro. It doesn't mention if this is including VAT or not. But I suppose the VAT is included.

I really don't get why they bother to call us with false information. Just leave me alone and call me when the thing is actually online. I got exited to play around with the configurator...

But happy to know the price.

In "MyLotus"
* I can't see the price
* there is a icon "konfigurieren und bestellen"
* if I push this, appears a message "da haben wir wohl eine falsche Abzweigung erwischt"
... that means ... no content find ...

what do you see in MyLotus ?

[PaulH]

I called Lotus Benelux, and for Belgium we can only configurate from August, so that's why this is currently not working.

 

[Rudi]

Hi there,

I recieved the call too today. I have to do something on the lotuscars.com. But when i try to validate my account (sms or mail confirmation) i also get the error "Something went wrong".

Tomorrow i will contact my sales person again.

Two weeks ago i had a call that the price went up for about a 3000-3500 euro. I ordered my Lotus i4 First Edition in june 2022 and paid a 2500 euro in advance and the total price of the car was 96515 included VAT. This is for Belgium.

Update: i have to reserve an Emira on the website (Go to Emira, not Mylotus. And choose reservation). And in this proces we have to pay 2500 euro to finish the reservation. After this we can make use of MyLotus. The deposit i paid in 2022 to the lotus dealer will be paid back any moment now.
After i recieve my account ID, i need to contact my dealer again so they can combine the allready existing order with my LotusId. So i will not loose my place in the production proces.

Belgian price is without transport cost(about 1665 eur) I think....

... nur eine Frage ...

The News about price increases should be in continental europe also come and for all the people who made a reservation long time ago for i4 ... and still waiting to do the config ?

It seems it depends on if you’re able to lock your configuration before the deadline or not - which apparently is tied to your estimated build date.
