Lotus Emira US Roadshow

I unexpectedly got a call from my lotus dealership today @Lotus los Gatos inviting me for a test drive on Nov 16 and 17 I know it's not much of a news but it's something

Interesting, I'm with Los Gatos as well but I didn't get an email or a phone call. Is your sales rep Irena?

Clayton, and he’s been great. I could see them just calling the top of their V6 list as the I4 doesn’t exist yet. I’d still like a test drive though, mostly to make sure I’ll fit. (6’4”)

Cool, my sales rep is nice but she's slow to respond and she only reached out to me once. I guess I'll email them later. Thanks.

Anyone get a call from Boardwalk? Wondering if they’ll get demos or not.

Kyle said to look out for an email on Monday (last Monday). Haven't received anything...

My sales rep in Charlotte, NC just called. Test drives are being scheduled for Nov. 11 - 12. Unfortunately can't make either date, but letting others know.

Btw boardwalk included every depositor’s email on the mass mail. Over 300 depositors.

I don't even have a deposit with them, just an inquiry from 2021 and was included in their emails.

Well then, that's embarrassing.

I just sent an email to Kyle and hope to get a time slot on Monday. Saturday and Sunday are already booked solid.

Here are some pics of the car in Costa Mesa CA today. Parked my Jag F-Type next to it to give some perspective

Interesting. Los Gatos told me a couple of weeks ago that they wouldn’t be getting a demo car on this tour. I’m curious if they call me, but unlikely, as I’m an I4 depositor from Sept ‘21.

You should get a call or call them I was told they have limited spots and I'm a February 2022 depositor

My sales rep is Adriana Boas . You should call them don't let it pass by I mean we're gonna be waiting a long ass time it's best to see in person what were waiting for . And if it's worth waiting

I was a bit surprised by this as I was told a while back that the FE folks and a close-to-FE deposits will get be contacted for a test drive. When I saw the email, I realized that it went out to ALL depositors. That’s why Saturday and Sunday are booked up. Kyle was able to slot me in for a Sunday which works out well. Weekdays are tough as I live 45 minutes away each way and test drives are during working hours.

So Los Gatos sent out invites and test drive to other depositors far down the list. Apparently every single driving slot has been booked. I should of called Boardwalk

This happened to me at Galpin. I just called and they fit me. I recommend showing up right when they open so you're ready in case someone's a no show. I was able to get a test drive this way.

Sorry to hear. The right thing to do was go down the list in order of deposit placed. It’s frustrating when something is promised one way and is done another. Then again, pretty much in line with how things have been since last year. Anyway, I suggest calling Boardwalk anyway and see.

Apparently Irena from Los Gatos said they're only slotting 20 test drives while Tom Sutton from Boardwalk is slotting 120 test drives out of the 500 people who tried to reserve a test drive. My FE slot is 22/22 but I moved up to slot 11 since they've already put in 11 orders that Lotus allocated to them. I wish I could just show up but I live 3 hours away from the Bay Area.
