Wasn't aware of that... noted.

For those that have confirmed FE allocations. After submitting your build code early last year did you receive any official written confirmation/receipt from the dealer or lotususa that you were in fact allocated an FE and/or that your order was received?

I have an allocation but have only received phone calls with updates (at every step). I do trust my dealer, and they've been great, but the continued delays creates anxiety without something in writing.

Curious if there is something I could ask them to send along.

Just the dealer in the form on an Email telling me my order was sent to Lotus....Specifically they said it was confirmed and accepted by Lotus.

What could they be discussing? V6 FE, I4 FE? Base models? Surely not a structured plan going forward. Honestly I am surprised they called this meeting, however in the past, they just rehash all the old BS they have already put out to us. I just hope they have some good news for the Base and I4 people.

My understanding is that it's mostly about the Eletre. NA pricing, etc.

That's the most logical sense.

 

[KAR120C]

That's the most logical sense.

It's their annual meeting, so they'll probably give updates on the all the models. I imagine most of the time will be spent looking forward at the next models so the dealers can be preparing. And the Eletre is on-deck so it'll probably be most discussed. Then all the normal business stuff...

This sounds like my experience. I never received any email from Lotus directly, but I placed a 2nd deposit, submitted my specification to the dealer, the dealer confirmed the specification and asked for my permission to submit it to Lotus, which I gave.

I've since received every production update and have been told I cannot change my spec in any way since it was submitted, so pretty clear I have an allocation just never had the Lotus email.

I never got an email directly from Lotus confirming my FE order either. I only got the email from the dealer showing the order form that was submitted, and a confirmation from the dealer that Lotus accepted my order. That's it.

Really, buyers in La Jolla probably won't be too worried about a $10K jump in price......
