It's been hard to get any information from the dealership that I had put a deposit with back in November of 2024 but I wanted to share this latest update. Not a lot of detail, but seems encouraging. Curious if anyone else has heard anything else from yesterday's "dealer call".
Lotus halt all delivery to the US.

I just got the same update from my dealer. No word on pricing, so I drove down to a different Lotus dealer and they said it will be a 10% increase. The salesman did not seem knowledgeable or confident though, so I don’t know the weight of his words.
Hope it’s not 10% more than already agreed on as the duty was prev 2.5, now 10, a 7.5 bump but that’s prob on what the dealer gets them for and not on the MSRP. Never considered the scenario dealers may use the tariffs as an excuse to squeeze a few more dollars out of us. We should keep each other posted as this may vary based on dealership used.

Tariff is levied on the value of the car on the dock, which is the price Lotus UK sells it to Lotus US, plus shipping. This is less than dealer cost, as Lotus US add a margin.
Plus it is already 2.5% of this amount, now it will be 10%. I have a hard time thinking if Dealers are honest on price difference that it won’t be more than 5-6000 per car.
Agree. As our cars start rolling in we should keep each other posted on price adjustments to avoid getting shafted. I’m hoping Lotus absorbs some of the cost but unlikely.
