Has anyone in the US received any sort of updates on expected delivery dates from their dealer? Lotus of North Jersey was completely oblivious when I called them regarding Matt Windle's delay video and claimed they haven't been able to get any info from their Lotus reps. I specced and ordered in April and was originally told to expect a ~Nov delivery, but we all know that's not gonna happen. I'm expecting March of next year, yet my dealer still thinks November.

The 90 days is from today. When I put my 11k down in March of this year I was told I would have a Emira in my garage in November, with a September build date. (I reserved in May of '21.) So now November is 90 days away.
It is so weird that some dealers required 11k when I only had to deposit $2500
it sounds like some dealers are partying with deposit money.It is so weird that some dealers required 11k when I only had to deposit $2500
Yeah I only had to put down $2500 total. My dealer did not require a second deposit when submitted to Lotus.
Has LNJ said how many FE allotments they received? I didn’t go with them but I’m curious if I would have made the cut if I had.Has anyone in the US received any sort of updates on expected delivery dates from their dealer?

March delivery? Man that’s late for being 4th in line in your state. Where’s your rep getting info?
Final order (with Lotus USA confirmation and order sheet) was April 19th.
I assume from whomever provides that info, whether it's Lotus USA or the Factory.
Lotus USA has been pretty much oblivious the whole time to me. I submitted my final order March 5th and they’re saying October still as of last week.
Curious what else did you have your eye on? Only other car that has been calling me is 2018 gt3. Only thing keeping me away from GT3 is what I have read about the gearing on the street not being fun.
I think the gearing is fine but the only downside is that the engine doesn’t come alive until high up the revs so it’s not a car you can easily enjoy at lower speeds. It’s not just the gearing in the GT3, it’s the fact you have 9000rpm at your disposal. At higher revs though the engine is exquisite. One of the best sounding engines I’ve ever experienced.
It sounds like you were lucky enough to own one. Thank you for the insight. There is a chalk gt3 for sale in Boston it has 20,000 miles and they want 189,000 for it. It is tempting but I think the Emira looks way cooler. I used to have a tuned 930 that I miss. I would guess the gt3 is a raw car similar to 930.
I don't think there is any way you get it in October. Be surprised if you get it this year.
