Two weeks, no movement from port. C'mon now.

I’m 100% sure this topic has been beat down to pulp at this point, but I’m just curious if anyone has an idea on when I would likely be able to spec my car, if I placed my initial deposit (for a V6 manual) at the beginning of January 2024.

I’m Trying to get a gauge, from others’ experience, on when my time will come.

I received an email from my dealership yesterday that said V6 automatics are not expected to start arriving until the end of the year. The last official update from Lotus was that they were supposed to start arriving in the middle of the year, and the last unofficial update I got was August/September. More Lotus doing Lotus things. At this point it looks like best case scenario is I might have my car 3.5 years after placing my deposit.

could you provide a screen shot (with names removed) as my friend has an auto and would be good to use that info to go back to his dealer on the east coast

Did he use the phrase, 'worth the wait?'

My communication from Lotus said Production in September with delivery in November/December.

After receiving this, I asked if I was interpreting it correctly that the V6 automatic was being further delayed from its original expected summer deliveries and he confirmed that was the case.

Sept build for a Nov delivery? Either that queue is getting much shorter, or Lotus is getting a lot more efficient (or both).

How are you tracking your car location? What date was your car unloaded in Baltimore? Mine came in the 4th.

Mine came in on the 4th as well. My dealer said they get an invoice when it leaves the port.

As it turns out they emailed a little earlier today to say they had just received the invoice.
