UK Reasons?

[JohnHoward]

Didn't catch his name, but rang lotus UK on Friday afternoon, via the number on our emails, and he said autos will start in June. Mine should be started in June, July delivery. I rang to see if i could get a more firm date as my current car has to go back soon, and I cannot be without a car, so really cannot have this pushed back again. I should be driving it already.

The way he was putting it made it out to be a June start no matter what. Manual cancellations will just move other manual dates around. Unless they have a lot of cancellations, auto start dates are not changing. So he's wrong? Good if true. Im sure im thousands in line, so I want it to start sooner rather than later!

When was your deposit?

 

[JohnHoward]

If that’s me you are referring to I did see autos in LHD and RHD. Wouldn’t say it was lots however. The ones I saw were at the end of the line before they go into the testing chamber and looked like complete cars.

Thanks for confirming, at least there were some being produced.

I paid the first deposit on 28th Sepetember 2021. Perhaps he means the latecomers start in June?

Yes that would explain it. I don't know numbers but there will be a large number before you in the queue. I think that a big chunk of deposits happened at reveal/Goodwood in 2021.

Be nice to know a position number at this point. I know they don’t do that to stop cancellations, but I need to know the probability of me getting a car before end of July. If I’m 2000+ in line I won’t get it until December at this rate, which is no good for my circumstances
