Thanks Tom. I appreciate all the work you have put into running this forum. I doubt they had a ferry booked and I doubt very much that a paint issue was suddenly found on my car Fter PDI. My build was apparently complete in November and I paid for the car in full in December. I'm...

Thanks to all for the banter and information over the past few years but today my journey is finished. I had delivery scheduled for 4th January and, as you can imagine I was excited to finally take ownership of my car. Waited in all day as I was told it would be delivered at any time...

And..... Did you get a call back?

Despite my earlier rant, my overwhelming feeling here is disappointment that Lotus failed to take advantage of the huge opportunity they were given. The launch of the Emira could have been the event that set Lotus up as a serious high volume car producer on the international stage. Instead...

Warning [Rant] in progress..... On 2nd November after checking out I received this: "YOU’RE ALL DONE! Great news! You've done everything you need to and now it's down to us. We'll get back to you just as soon as we can." Silence....... Nothing...... Absolutely nothing, until I phoned...

That's shocking! Belongs on Fred Flintstone's car.

Latest update from Lotus: We are very conscious that we have not communicated with you directly yet regarding a final delivery date for your new Lotus Emira. We are continuing to experience delays in material supplies, several of which have proved to be greater than previously expected and...

@TomE Do you know if delivery to your door includes Northern Ireland?

I have a deposit on an Eletre but like you am looking seriously at the Polestar 3. I really don't think I have the emotional capacity to take on another Lotus buying process. Having said that, I am really looking forward to finally driving my Emira. It's not so hard nowadays to have great...

Me Too Email from CS yesterday. 'I apologise for the lack of specific information available, your Emira is currently in production. We will be contacting you within the upcoming weeks to discuss next steps.' I think I should probably adjust my expectation'o'meter from very soon back to soon...

It's a bit irritating isn't it!

Fingers crossed then.... perhaps I'll get a notification very, very soon.

Hi all, I received an email from Lotus informing me of a September build slot. I have since heard nothing to the contrary but it is now obviously October. Has anyone else with a Sep slot been contacted with a delivery date? I don't want a string of 'typical of Lotus' comments but I must say...

I hear you!

I ordered an Eletre and it seemed to be part of the sales package.
