Looks like its a website error sadly. I emailed customer services who reported that the i4 shouldn't be listed yet. A shame, I had hoped it showed something (anything) was happening.So after Lotus called UK i4 orders saying delivery was delayed until summer 24 this has appeared on the available cars for delivery in 4 weeks.

Just came to post the same, Lotus CC replied to me to say the I4 on the website was added in error (though as I post this it is still online, wonder how long before they take it down). They also said that they're still working towards the previously stated timescale, so "by summer" is still all we have to go on.
Yep, my i4 is on its way to Perth. But i haven't been given an ETA yet. What was your ETA into Sydney? Cheers
@TurboTambo I was given a wide ETA date range, "between now and end February 2024". Given that you are 4,000km closer to Hethel, you should get it before Sydney
Good to see more Aussies getting comms 
God, it's February 5th and I'm finding the wait harder than ever...seeing how there are problems with CARB only makes me more nervous.
Let's see if someone travels to the factory, on a track day and at least has some news or confirm if half of the production is our guys. I understand that at some point they will have to meet the Chinese market! And Australian!
OMG - surely not! If so then I think I'll be out. That's another summer lost. Life is too short for this.
I haven't heard this, but with this whole UK i4 shit show, anything is possible. If this is the case, at least I know 100% its time to give up on the car.
Likewise, I'm so hoping this isn't the case, but if so I'm out. As you say, life is too short.
That’s what I was told today. Couldn’t believe it, I said I was told June 2024, he apologised, and said that they were working on Q4 delivery for the i4, earlier if they can but didn’t sound optimistic.
That's not good if true, not heard anything about such a delay myself yet or seen anything anywhere else, last week all was still on target, but as we know from past experience things can go downhill quickly...
Type approval may well indeed be the cause of the delay. If it is then where they need to be more open is around why it is causing such a delay. It certainly shouldn't be the process itself, as if started today it should be complete mid March going by VCA timelines. And if not the process there has to be something up with the car that means it wouldn't pass type approval (my theory is that it is something related to ADAS not being ready yet, but that is pure guesswork on my side).
As far as I know same rules as the rest of the uk. LCC were in touch re a test drive that I had done, to see if I wished to order one. Told him that I had already ordered, an i4, when he mentioned the delay until Q4. I hadn’t given him any specifics about my i4 order or location.
I received a 2025 target timeline in an email, but I'm in the US and they are blaming "supply chain issues". Moreover, others have received their gift, with delivery messages and tracking numbers, but I have not heard a peep..
I hope, I really want some of those features..
why would it take that long to clear? My I4 has landed in perth, i was hoping once docks clear it the dealer would want to get it to me asap to get paid, i was hoping to have it in a week or two??@TurboTambo I was given a wide ETA date range, "between now and end February 2024". Given that you are 4,000km closer to Hethel, you should get it before Sydney
Realistically, with clearance/paperwork/registration/etc, I probably won't see the car until late March/early April.
That's good to hear, fingers crossed that is indeed the case and not an example of Lotus having not yet given them the bad news to pass on.
