How long would a vehicle be “locked in production” for? I was told this start of March. I assume car is built and sitting across the Atlantic until tarrif issues settled somehow, but my dealer is unable to verify and no VIN.

Crossing my fingers the 90 day pause in tariffs includes the 25% on autos from the UK. Can’t find a source that clarifies what this pause does include. Seems like a blanket 10% tariff is still on.

Sorry to hear. I’m hoping for an email or call that my car squeaked through, but as days pass it becomes less likely.

How did you get a hold of Lotus USA. Ive reached out via the website and was directed back to my dealer for further info.

Same for me, no VIN, 11/18 build submission, so I’m cautiously optimistic mine came in in the latest batch.

Congrats! I really hope this is the case for me. Build submitted and confirmed with submission ID on 11/18, just a few days after yours.

I wonder if this may backfire more than thought. China may swoop in and strike a tempting deal with allies and claim/make up for any possible lost US market share.

For sure, I’m totally nervous and hoping enough ass kissing happens so Trump excludes the UK from any tarrifs. Guy seems to respond well to flattery. We’ll find out “soon” 😂

Emailed my dealer and they said my MSRP is locked and not to worry about tarrifs. We’ll see 🤷🏽‍♂️

Just saw this also with an Emira currently in production, such crap timing. Love this car and willing to pay a bit more but not a 25% bump

Wow that’s the fastest timeline I’ve seen. Deposit to VIN in 6 months. Congrats! Who did you order through?

My dealer said my car is “locked in production”. I assume that means it is currently being built, but no VIN provided yet.

I’m considering reaching out to my dealer also. Order accepted by lotus 11/18 so should be in production or getting there soon. Haven’t touched base with them since order locked/accepted.

Nice! I wonder if this means base V6 production now beginning. Lotus accepted my order 2 months after yours. Good to see some of us are seeing progress.

No just about a year ago now. Really glad I was able to get an allocation with all the buzz about the V6 going away soon
