Anyone received their 30 day notification yet?

I just received my 'Checkout' email following the Enhance & Protect one a couple of weeks ago, so looks like another step closer. Completed this process so I guess the next step is payment and collection!

Sorry to burst your bubble, but when Lotus uses the word soon it has no timeframe at all.

Is the picture you provided your actual spec or just a random car from Lotus?

That's a generic image, mine is Seneca.

That’s what this forum does … constantly bursts bubbles

Nice to see some movement... even if the word soon is still there

I had somehow managed to deselect myself from receiving emails etc from Lotus!
Anyway I have just spoken to CS , my car I have been told is still on for Oct build Nov delivery , which is great news.
Mines an Auto and should look like the Seneca show car. My original order was directly with JCT , but that had to be refunded and then I had to pay Lotus directly. I know I was the 3rd order that JCT took, well before FOS.
I have asked if there is movement on the del date, I'm away for all of December , so if its late Nov , it will be hard to collect , I was told they should be able to sort something out a bit nearer the time. So Fingers and everything else crossed !

Exciting! Looks like you could be one of the very first deliveries in Scotland. Whereabouts are you?

Curious to know what you had to do at the checkout process - presumably this where it becomes a binding order even if there is no further payment? It does seem to go against the previous statement from Lotus that early deposit holders would all be offered a test drive before having to make the final commitment.

Congratulations, getting closer!

What did you have to do as part of this process? If it didn’t include payment, what did they say about timing for that? I guess that may depend on whether you’re paying outright, taking finance and have a car to trade in.

Curious to know when you placed your original deposit too.

Would of been a nice touch if the photo you receive was your spec

I think I'd better start looking down the back of the sofa for some money.... it really does feel like it might be soon now!

Maybe someone misinterpreted the hosepipe ban which of course only applies in the UK.

very dry humor! haha

 

[Eagle7]

very dry humor! haha

So are people now saying Lotus is getting hosed? Whatever is the world coming too!

I'm just waiting for the first person who actually receives their car, to give us a full report of it all. Then it will feel like we've started a new chapter.

shouldn't we have a closest the date competition... ie date of actual delivery (even if he doesn't take it on that date, but the date lotus say it will be 1st ready)

Im betting on..... the.....
23rd of October!...

You can see I am full of confidence....

Your story is similar to mine. My Emira is manual show car spec less black pack. Hopefully not too long now.

I had to confirm any Protect & Enhance options, so that I could be given the final OTR price which I now have. Legally confirm the order, and choose my delivery location (I went for factory, but it showed all the dealerships as options).

I have no trade-in or finance but yes, those were all covered.

I was a very early deposit (dealer back in April last year so pre-announce).

This made me chuckle. How many steps do we need to do before we get the car? A bit like one of those pilgrimages to Shangri La from the movies. And there’s that word “soon” again…

Useful info, thanks. There are a few people who placed deposits before you who haven't got to this stage of the process yet. There seems to be no pattern now to the delivery sequence.

If this counts as the "30 day contact" does that mean your delivery is around 12 Oct or are they suggesting it might be in September?

You are not kidding Tom about earlier deposits placed. Definitely no pattern to delivery sequence. I have not heard a thing, and my deposit was 5th October 2019. Beginning to think they have forgotten about my order.

English is not my native tongue but I'll never understand the rather recurrent use of "would of". It's so wrong.
