Hi guys
Need some help in Europe. Did any one get the Emira stickers made for the lower side skirt of the car. The "EMIRA" letter. I would be interested in a set but did not find a seller. I wrote divine hand craft a week ago with no answer.
Thanks in advave
Morning!
Does anyone know if the committed I4s are being delivered on time in Europe?
My dealer told me that "Lotus was ahead of schedule and my car was expected on the end of April", but actuallly they are completely lost... again...
I am afraid that the China market is doing better than...
What was the original price you receive and when?
I did the reservation on November 22 and my total is 107K€ with exactly the same configuration. it says that extars were inside the price, but It could be that they work on the pro forma that way?
Finally a thread to talk about the good features of I4.
Honestly I was getting discouraged to be hearing only criticisms and negative comparisons.
In my case I want a daily car that gives me a smile every day. Also a car that in a bad day of work, when you leaves late and its raining does not...
I agree with you, but if they had approved the emissions tests earlier they would not be in this situation... as they continue to delay the delivery and/or approval we will not even be able to drive the car in any European city.
It seems that we are playing to tighten the rope with regulators...
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...
Please... I only ask you not to help to generate hopes, we all already accept anything to dream!
Now seriously, and from ignorance. The rendering does not show the gear selector from several angles, it will not be easier to take the ones that already had it? Let's see if they are changing the...
I tell you, I promise you... I guarantee you that you have all our attention. 😅
Please remember to write when you have news, don't just run off to enjoy your amazing new car.
Believe me when I tell you that I am as anxious as you are for you to get your car. We all win if they start delivering I4s out of the Chinese market. I'm disappointed for mates who have a VIN and know there is no car behind it.
Please advise if you have any updates.
We live on those crumbs...
It should be something with I4 Homologation, they are still sending I4 to China... but It is hard for me to beileve that the had less problems to homologate the V6 Auto and V6 Manual, than I4 Auto AMG. It has a consumption and emissions clearly lower, plus surely they could count on the help of...
Well, if you tell me that the assignment of a vin is useless and they cannot give details about it... it seems that they have broken the manufacturing/assignment process they had and no longer comply with their processes.
My hope is that someone gets their i4, with that we'll know it's going...
Just out of curiosity.
If you've been given a vin, does it have a car behind it? I really hope it's true, at least that means they're making something.
The other option is that they won't start until summer at the earliest, and that in lotus language is more delays.
Thank you wiz33 for your comments, your comments jump me to three conclusions
1) Deliveries in the second half of the year will be delayed, again. Hopefully we will see my car in October/November.
2) The problems with the changes occur also on the mercedes, do you really think they will be able...
Has anyone had an honest answer as to the reason for the I4 delay?
I just left the brand new dealership in Munich on odeonsplatz, and they didn't even know there were any delivery delays. 😅
I don't want to spoil the party, but power, emissions restrictions and taxes are very different in China versus ROW. I have heard that in several EU countries you pay taxes according to power, you can't increase 10K the price over the buyer... In the end the engine is the same, it's the power...
Just to get the general idea. My dealer commented that no I4 lotus will be delivered to any customer.
Does anyone was told that i4 production line is stopped? Because they do not have lot of space for storage cars...
I Really do not know what to think about this... they were delivering many 400hp I4 to China.
Can only imagine that:
1) I4 manufacturing prices has raise up so much that they try to reduce reservations with closed prices.
2) many cars have many warranty repairs making it less profitable...
As an I4 European buyer I confirm that the delay is general, it does not only affect UK units. (My reservation done on Spain Nov 2022)
I have "the call" from my salesman this morning and they are taking to a 6 month delay for WorldWide I4, also says that the waiting list for a new i4...
Just had "the call". I am from Spain and we have the same delay, so "UK certification" seems not to be the whole truth. They also offers direct refund. Can it be that the production prices just gone up too much and they want us to just to give up?
Also the seller said that:
1) it is an all...
My brain is not able to process in the same sentence:
"layoffs are being made by redundancies, we have a two-year delivery delay on cars with unit cost of $100K".
They are kidding?
You may be right. I was offered in July to trade my i4 for the v6, and I know those cars were delivered in time.
To be on schedule my dealer must ask for full payment in two weeks. if he doesn't it's clear I won't get the car this year.
I promise to update.
I completely agree with you, I think the delivery will be next year.
It would be really interesting to know if they are delivering an i4 to anyone in europe.
Hi, Does anyone have any decent delivery status updates for Europe for I4?
I had estimated delivery in August, then September and now I have asked my dealer and he says "no news from lotus are good news and means you will have your car in December".
I don't know whether to feel nervous... or...
I have no doubt that this is true.
We talk a lot about lotus not informing buyers, but is it normal that dealers are not informed either? Dealers with investments and who don't sell cars because they haven't received them in two years. Every time I talk to my salesman he is more elusive, he has...
