That assumes Lotus can plan that far ahead into 2023, which I doubt based on available evidence.

Lotus can’t even plan for next month.

Curious as to what they ordered as it looks like a 2-year process. But agree, nice to be kept in the loop.

Nice! Well worth the wait. I’ve purchased four Porsches and still a nobody on their list.

Porsche does make an excellent automobile; I wouldn't be caught dead in one.

Has there been any meaningful update from Lotus on people with original FE V6 orders? Still saying end of this year for first NA deliveries or has that not even been confirmed yet?

Nothing is confirmed as Lotus refuses to communicate. And when they have communicated, dates given have been misleading (to put it nicely). They typically announce delays just weeks before previously stated delivery times.

Weeks? How about at the beginning of this year when our vehicles were supposed to go into production and they waited almost a week to tell us of delays...AFTER the deadline lol.

The EPA site still has the 2020 Evora GT as the last Lotus to pass certification. The site can be a little behind with updates but I’d like to see an Emira on there by now.

They still haven't actually told us about the current production delays either. Last information given to dealers was that production would begin in May instead of April.

I was told August now after calling the head of US sales directly, which triggered him to call my dealer with updates, who then called me. This entire experience has my head spinning. I never once expected my first new exotic sports car purchase to be this painful.

And you chose Lotus to pop your exotic . . Just be glad it wasn’t a Ferrari; you’d have to learn how to bribe the sales rep just to have him take an order for you. Then he’d tell you that you can’t order that one until you’ve owned at least one of these to make sure it’s a good fit for your lifestyle.

August is for FE 2.0 builds…I heard that first allocation FEs are on schedule.

If this is the case, Lotus better be sharing FE 2.0 allocations and locking in builds.

 

[2BIG2FAIL]

A bit disappointed that there is still no i4 news at this point, but what can you expect, really.

Nonetheless, I rage browse this forum daily despite there being 600+ days until delivery still.

Got a source for that? I'm 99% confident US production hasn't started at all.

We are all guessing. LOTUS is like Thanksgiving at Grandma's. The food will be ready when it's ready, and even Grandma isn't sure when that will be.
