Anyone received their 30 day notification yet?

Surely they must look at how many orders are being cancelled as a sign customers are not Happy and voting with their feet Going to be even more interesting what the stats do once we can finally demo the car and ultimately decide

Yes, surely the powers that be have noticed the many orders that have been cancelled. Well you would think so, as this is lost revenue for the company. And this should get them thinking, we should find out the reasons for this, and start asking questions

They did a survey last month. It came back with glowing endorsements allegedly

Who did they survey? I am guessing no on this forum. I find the results very difficult to believe.

When you are call CS you are asked to complete a survey at the end of the call. It maybe more about how your call was handled. The call handlers are always very pleasant but with limited info’

Limited information is something of an understatement.

They've got a long waiting list so cancellations don't matter to them.

Money should definitely be talking right now with all the cancelled deposits…! But they’re probably writing off that data as being related to current world economic factors and impact of production delays rather than mediocre and inconsistent customer service that has pushed people elsewhere...

Received this yesterday;

Good afternoon Jody,

We tried to contact you today in regards to your Emira order.

In light of our announcement of delays due to supply and parts issues, we have unfortunately had to make amendments to our build schedule.

Today's attempt to call you was to advise you of your new estimated production and delivery date.

Your new production date for your Emira is December and this will follow with a January delivery date.

We will keep in touch with you as much as possible and be inviting you to your checkout process as soon as we are able to. Here you will be able to confirm your order and select optional extras such as paint protection.

If you do have any other questions please feel free to reply to this email or contact us using the details below.

——————————————————————

7th July lunchtime deposit.

I give up

Yeah I agree they don’t care, they know they have f**ked up and will just have to face the music.

Many more cancellations to come in the coming weeks I’m afraid.

Looking at it, it’s not to bad for the V6 manual folk and probably worth the wait.

For us V6 auto folk and now potentially i4ers it’s not looking good at all, could be looking at months and months of delays.

Oooh, excellent.

A few thoughts:
* When will the auto start build and whats causing the hold up?
* Why are some regions not getting a mesh cover on the manual mechanism?
* Will the clutch be serviceable without removing the entire engine?
* Get a video of the I4 engine sound!
* Take photos of the new colours, including Meridian Blue and and Osmium Silver.
* Have lots of fun!

[digilotus]

Oh one more...!

* Are the lower black pack side sills bolted on (so you can access the water/oil piping under the door sills) or are they still glued on like the Evora?

 

[Ian C]

How to replace the seatbelts with coloured ones? What’s the number in and out on the order board looking like?

Be good if you get to sit in one and give us your take on the seat, ergonomics, steering wheel and pedal position.......it's what it is but expectations need managing!

Has anyone found that staring at your phone, not working, pacing the floor or converting religions actually helps when waiting for a call from Lotus CC?

 

[Magicman]

So from what I'm picking up from here and FB apart from some anomalies it looks like pre and d7th and maybe some of the 8th deposits are now Jan delivery. Rest of 8th and 9th your looking at feb/March and this is best case scenario?

I was morning of the 9th so quite likely best part of a year late. (Not had my official call yet)

I'm not sure I have it in me to continue this charade, if I was given a locked in deal of price and Apr then maybe but I can see the monthly cost of buying this car rising significantly in the new year.

supposedly there will be some November deliveries which are starting in the next few days, confirmed Then a fair few November deliveries... and up to a total of 150 cars UK.... this year, then another 150 in January.
