Two week shutdown I seem to remember being mentioned but I may well be wrong??Do they not take a full week off? I believe I heard that somewhere.

So I heard some other UK people saying they got a letter stating theirs were going into production (starting the build) on Jan 23. Which puts US customers waaaaaaaaaaaaaay behind. I would bet a shiny quarter that ours will be pushed by 90 more days for build. So a March build and June delivery.
I'm 100% out if North America gets delayed again. Not because I can't endure waiting another few months, but because that would mean Lotus knew there would be another delay and failed to inform paying customers who've already been waiting for a year and a half (or more)! Their lack of comms to customers and even their own dealers is atrocious.
Let's hope!I have a feeling based on nothing more than that, they will deliver the first batch of FE US cars, just so they can say they got them out on-time (so the Jan builds/Mar delivery), and it will be the other later batches that will suffer along with other cars scheduled for around that time. I.e. already delayed cars will be further delayed, but just so they can say the US started getting deliveries.
At least a year out is worse than Lotus how? How long would it take to receive an Emira if you ordered right now?Porsche delays are far worse than Lotus and no improvement in the near future. I recently visited a Porsche dealership that I purchased serval cars form and their showroom had no new 911s or 718s. I inquired about ordering a 911 and the manager told me at least a year out if not longer. I’m sticking with my Emira FE order.
My dealer required only $2,500 and is fully refundable until the specs are confirmed and the order build placed with Hethel. Then it’s non-refundable.How much have you put down with your dealer? Are you a 1st batch FE? And of course they will stick it to us, they KNOW they will delay us, but wont come out and say it. Its pathetic.
I have attempted to back out and was told my money would not be given back, so I am unfortunately going to go through with the purchase. But I did try to back out because of the shit show that is going on. It makes me think that the dealer does not have a backup list of FE deposits waiting........sus

This is just it, I know there are people on this forum upset about the moaning going on but enough is enough we really are being made fouls of. All the false promises even the 300 cars before the end of the year they couldn't get right. One thing is for sure as the title of this thread there is going to be "further delays" expect a messy Q1/Q2 next year before things settle. New depositors are now being quoted 2 years for their cars even thou the web site says 65 weeks that would suggest they know they are not going to hit their peak production figures anytime soon.You're right I'm getting them mixed up, my 24th November email said Jan build but my 9th December p&e email doesn't mention it. I'll await delay number 5... or is it 6? I can't remember tbh.
It's past embarrassing for lotus now. If they delay me again and then put the APR up again, as much as I want the car, I'm not sure I want to continue being made a fool of.
To be honest I don’t mind the delays that much it’s just the way the process is being handled. I’m interested to see Harrys video today and more Emira content, but I think I’ve already decided to just kick the Emira back and buy something else to enjoy summer 23.This is just it, I know there are people on this forum upset about the moaning going on but enough is enough we really are being made fouls of.

When I said kick the Emira back I meant delay it to a date useful for me.
I’m sucks you have had a shit time with Honda and Ford though. What happened that was so bad you would never buy from them?
Interesting. I just called LCC and have been told that my Jan build Feb delivery is “still very much on track” and my car isn’t affected by some of the ongoing delays for other builds. So don’t really know what the issue on that is. Could be paints or interior options? Or it could all be horseshit and the car won’t be ready. Who knows.Just had a call from Lorenzo in CS, prepping me for further delay, January unlikely to be achieved, February likely, but as he cant say why etc then even that doesn't sound nailed on. Seems assurances from Lotus are completely worthless, like I didn't already know, oh well....
