Anyone received their 30 day notification yet?

[Bradw]

I've just had an email from Geoff Dowding puttung my production date back to March 23, all the way from December. Has anyone else had bad news today?

Yeah. Starting of thinking they can stick it

 

[jpizzle]

Was Oct build/Nov delivery, now April “production” what a f*cking disgrace

Yes CS confirmed now, May delivery… wow what a joke

 

[DJS]

Are you guys all Auto?

Auto not starting production until April as per the Australian email.

What a F**king disgrace is an understatement

There is a good chance we could receive the Electre before the Emira

Just had the exact same. Iwas, at the last email, a November build / December delivery. So, another 4 month delay with no real explanation, which is getting tiresome. Very early August 2021 deposit, manual gearbox.

Yep ...exactly the same - so I guess April delivery now. Also test drive email now set to go out NEXT week (was supposed to happen Monday of this week) Patience is wearing ever thinner, but at least its an email update from CS (almost as rare as the cars)

I asked about switching transmission, they said it will not make a difference, wow what a shame, interest rate in May will be crippling no doubt, I asked will they honour FE price as there are many who placed later deposits yet been supplied to car earlier at the current price, to which they confirmed the price, but stated this will be at the market APR at the time, SICKKKK

Mines manual

 

[Auto Smiler]

Received the same email. 15.07.21 deposit. Are they telling everyone March?!

 

[DAMOH]

Same for me. Deposit AM on 13 July 21 and now March production. Manual. I am ok with early spring delivery Vs middle of winter.

I was 14th July deposit, manual, Nov build. Just got the March email too. Fortunately got an early deposit in on the 992T. Shame though, really wanted to support a ‘British’ company

 

[Tonygcar]

Just had the same email was a August car then an October now April 23 yes and mines an automatic

Yes, it seems that Wuhan is far more efficient at producing cars than Hethel.

 

[roundincircles]

Mine is shifted to April.....from July, September, October.....Porker confirmed for January....wot to do Olley

 

[Flipper]

Same here Deposit 7th July 2021. I'm an auto box. Was March, then June, then Nov delivery. Now March 2023 build. Sigh.

Not received an updated email yet. Last information received was November build December delivery, originally February build March delivery, this from a 5th October 2019 deposit. Patience waring very thin now.

I would be too, if I had any faith that they will actually deliver in March/April..

Yes, i am finding it progressively harder to believe what Lotus are telling us. Because, not to put to fine a point on it, everything they tell us is not exactly set in stone.

Pre-reveal customer at local dealership, received the Geoff Dowding standard email, with lots of “important customer” “valued customer” blurb, but , April 23 production date. Which means I guess May/June delivery. But, the way 2022 has gone can we trust these dates anymore, we have had so many false dawns and untruths. Can we trust these dates yet again or is our trust and money better placed elsewhere?

 

[dzernski]

I've also had the same (March '23 production) and I also don't find it believable - mainly because my deposit was in August '21 so this would actually be an improvement from what I had last been told. So either they've sent out a block email to a bunch of people it doesn't apply to or they're going to really ramp up production in the new year

ETA - I was right. As I got an email 15 minutes afterwards with a revised date on Jun '23, which would be more in keeping with expectations. Maybe I'm getting two. Who knows - certainly not Lotus as they can't spell my name right.
