I’m out! had to ring LCC to be told about another delay. Like everyone knows the communication has just been so poor. I can’t stand poor service.
Cars sat on auto trader struggling to sell…if they do sell..they are not calling for much more than over list - really struggle with this for a car...
I was the 9th July 21 deposit. Had my enhance and protect email on the 12.12.22 and hadn’t heard anything. Last update was a jan build Feb delivery. Called up CS earlier this week and was told I was now Feb build and March delivery. Not holding out much hope though.
Central Lotus told me they are offering it to customers who pick up from them. He said it is a cost to the dealer but it’s just something that they are offering
Yes it will still be there as he says that he is waiting for Lotus to activate the tracker and confirm what is happening with test drives before it goes out.
Sorry I should have taken some pictures.
I didn’t take any photos unfortunately.
The dealer wasn’t made aware by Lotus that this was a demo car initially, they thought it was a customer car so had it sat waiting until Lotus confirmed what was happening. It has only been open to go and view from today he said as Lotus confirmed...
Went to see the demo at Lotus Central today. The car has sport suspension and Goodyears. Black gloss wheels, Alcantara with yellow stitch, yellow calipers.
Sadly the demo car though was far from perfect. There was rippling on the leather on the dash, chipped paint, poorly fitted door and windows...
I was the 9th and spoke to CC yesterday. They apparently were passed a spreadsheet yesterday morning with updated production info on…was told Jan build for Feb delivery….we shall see.
So the last communication from lotus stated I was an October build for November delivery. No email received last week so contacted LCC this morning to be told…. they had hoped to have communication out last week but this was delayed and an update would be provided in the next week or so 🤷♀️
When I was on the factory tour I spoke with Scott walker. He told me that they were working with BCA on the car deliveries. He said the cars would be covered and delivered individually with a white glove handover. It was BCA employees who were going to be trained on the cars to complete the...
So I contacted CC today to get an update. I was told that my original build was July but the factory is 6-8 weeks delayed so it will now built in August. I obviously clarified the dates as they didn’t make sense to me. She apologised and said that mine was now only a 4 week delay so still August...
We asked about the time to build an actual car yesterday on the tour…we were told when everything is running at full speed it will take 11 hours per car.
Will post on the other thread now.
Regarding the seats - the leather is really fine/soft good quality leather. The seats were supportive and not too spongey. The leather wasn’t as tightly wrapped on the back of the actual seat cushion as I would’ve expected but would hope more tweaks still to...
