Anyone remember Captain Kirk and The Trouble with Tribles?
Yep, one of the funnier episodes.Anyone remember Captain Kirk and The Trouble with Tribles?
If you spec an FE V6 with black pack, automatic transmission, and the tracker thing, it will go past $96K.If it breaks $96k, most will bail out. If it goes past early half of 2023, most will bail out. Reason? this sucks.
Automatic transmission, black pack, and vehicle tracker are cost options. Homelink is available as extra option but looks like no cost for it. Adding all of those items up, for the US, MSRP is a tad over $98,000 without delivery & handling fees. So it looks like it will likely be just shy of $100,000 before taxes, title, and license (TTL).yeah but the fe is fully loaded think only option for cost on fe is the at .
In Canada I think we pay delivery twice as I heard they go to Lotus USA and then to the local dealer in Canada, add 13% sales tax, finally add a new 20% luxry tax about to kick in sometime this year (that‘s a huge amount and reason to get delivery ASAP for some of us) .Automatic transmission, black pack, and vehicle tracker are cost options.

I'm crossing my fingers really hard that this tax won't kick in untill I take delivery of the car, but I'm not getting my hopes upIn Canada I think we pay delivery twice as I heard they go to Lotus USA and then to the local dealer in Canada, add 13% sales tax, finally add a new 20% luxry tax about to kick in sometime this year (that‘s a huge amount and reason to get delivery ASAP for some of us) .
Great news! Although I’m a little surprised with the Q4 2023 delivery date for I4 FE. Someone else had posted a similar timeline which was disregarded as a typoBlockbuster email I just received from Galpin Lotus in LA. I won't bury the lead here. At the end he states that Lotus has confirmed they will be able to honor ALL 200+ of their orders by Q2 2023 which has me thinking I may have a shot at a V6 FE if I want to move off of having thought about the i4 FE this whole time...... I imagine honoring the orders means having started production so likely if I stick with the i4 FE I'm looking at delivery Q4 of 2023 at the earliest. Butterflies finally again with some good news (since I don't mind the wait)

Hmm still a bit surprising given the base edition is out spring 2023. Perhaps that timeline might shift. Don’t see how base edition is out before FE.That other post was mine so I don't believe now that it's a typo. I get i4 FE for Christmas in LA in 2023? Fine by me!

Also a good sign that maybe all V6 FE deposits will get to V6 FE cars…
Still “limited” but maybe just a limited run to all of those who deposit by X date.
Really cool to start seeing emails!
