This is all so ridiculous. Most other new car buyers are getting assembly line photos and frequent status updates. We're tracking cargo ships, flying drones, and decrypting messages. Dealers are fed up, customers left in the dark, and no one can provide solid delivery dates for a $100k car... 2 years later! I've never seen anything like this. Anyone want the direct contact info for the head of US sales? Message me.
USA/Canada Delivery Thread

Exactly. I'm more concerned about support post-delivery.
They need to do something to acknowledge, accept responsibility and send an official message with steps put in place so that once cars are delivered it won't be the same (insert favorite curse word) process of getting issues addressed from Lotus.
Chances of that happening= 1%
While I somewhat agree, this is a public forum and I don't want to dox the individual. These discussion threads are indexed in search and can potentially appear in one's basic Google search results. Our private messages are not.
Fair enough, post removed, but I do think folks should continue to reach out. This level of service in any industry should not be tolerated and is so easy to fix with a simple statement.
To me this is the biggest issue to come, I realize what im singing up for. I don't think its acceptable but I realize it will be years before we get a strong dealer network that provides high quality service with readily available parts.
Many folks on here will be raging mad when they have issues, with the lack of response or communication lotus is clearly letting people know what to expect.
When Subaru first arrived in the US is was horrible, and only in the last few years have they gotten better and its still crap. I live in Houston and for the longest time Subaru only have 2 dealer in the Houston area, now they have like 5 or 6 and still not what one would expect.
This is will be an interesting one to watch new car with good spec. Let see what it brings

Lotus: Leave Out The United States
Guessing it will be similar to this: https://www.pcarmarket.com/auction/2023-porsche-911-carrera-t/
A lot of us here have experienced the dealer issues from prior Elise/Exige/Evora purchases. I feel like this is more of a known potential issue (know what we signed up for) as opposed to expecting at least a few emails to keep us informed. I actually had a great experience from a service perspective with my Elise. in fact the best part is that it really never had an issues. The few recalls and minor issues were handled efficiently. Really hoping for the same again.
I've been keeping an eye on this one, in case the Emira doesn't work out.

Wow. I haven't been back on this forum since I was screwed out of my FE slot by the DC dealership and decided to take back my deposit. Since I hadn't seen any Emira's on the roads yet, I figured I'd stop by here and see what's up. It is INSANE to me that y'all aren't getting your cars until 2024 now! Since I got my deposit back in July, I've purchased an amazing Evora 400 and have enjoyed a couple thousand miles of happiness in it over the past few months. I know the Emira is a beauty, but given that Lotus is STILL yanking you guys around, I regret absolutely nothing about bailing on the wait and buying a car that actually exists! Good luck to everyone who is still waiting at the altar...here's hoping for a Christmas miracle for you all!
What is that term when you’re gratified by pain? Unfortunately thats us
To be honest, at this point, I wish the Emira comes later. You wanna know why? I got rid of my placeholder car (e92 m3) following @kitkat 's advice. But suddenly a friend reached out to me and asked me if I wanted a manual supra 45th anniversary edition. Supposedly the car will arrive at the dealership tomorrow. The later the Emira arrives, the longer I can enjoy the supra.
Also, if the CARB approval delays further, I can at least check out this thread in a new placeholder car that have wireless apple carplay.
