Oh it's not just me. This is the whole process for everyone. I don't believe they've actually created a priority test drives list and are just going to email all deposit holders, or at least that's the impression LCC gave.I'd love to know which tiny man at Lotus has taken it upon himself to make himself feel better about his own inadequacies by making your purchase experience worse. These petty minded individuals shouldn't be working for a company with ambitions such as 'New Lotus'. Or any company more to the point.
Ridiculous and petty.
I'm much more inclined to believe this is cock up rather than conspiracy. Many of my recent conversations with LCC and others indicate they have just not thought things through from a customer perspective.
As an example, when we get past Checkout and reach Delivery we will be offered 3 dates. What happens if (as is likely for me in Nov) you are out of the country on business for a chunk of the month? You can't defer the delivery and have to take it on one of the dates Lotus tell you, unless you make a request for special circumstances. If you want to delay delivery into a different month (or into Jan/Feb next year) you can't and that counts as a delay by you and puts you into the 2023 builds and deliveries.
