$10k is steep. Engine out like Lotus?

Yep - and that was at the Indy. Dealer would’ve been far more.

Ok, I’ll say it. The only good thing about Lotus keeping us in the dark for so long is it created an interesting forum. All the rumors, speculation, etc…now we’re all just quietly waiting and hoping they get it right this time. Really nothing more to say until after Feb 12th, is there?

Feb 12 - march 12 is the range so I think we should all mentally prepare for March 12th and hope to be pleasantly surprised

With regard to delivery schedules, the ship called "Pleasantly Surprised" last sailed in early 2023 and will not be docking here again. I believe it ran aground on an island named Reasonable Expectations.

I haven’t received my “free” gift yet, but I suppose like everything Lotus, it’ll get here, when it gets here.

However, it doesn’t escape me that somebody has been sitting on my $10,000 deposit for close to 3 years. I’m getting 5.3% in my money market. So let’s say the average deposit is $5000, and at 3.25%, and 2 years, that’s $325 in interest. I would say the least Lotus should do is send out a hat and book.

Yes, some people are never satisfied (when getting abused).

I haven't received my free gift yet. I assume it's because they are waiting on me to pay a Market Adjustment on the free gift.

I’m still unsure if the deposit money went to Lotus or is being held by the dealers….

I asked my salesperson months ago and he said it’s with the dealer. My concern was (and is) that Lotus faces bankruptcy before the cars arrive.

I, for one, am beyond satisfied with the amount of abuse I've received so far. Lotus holds the record in this metric.

My own little "care package" arrived today. Fresh from Taobao. They claim it's leather, but it's definitely "leather". For about $10 each, I'm okay.

 

[John777]

They need something to talk down on while they’re getting their bolts tightened for $2k every couple of years.

My 4C needed a $10k transmission replacement, out of warranty, at 15k miles. Previous owner foot the bill then sold it to me afterwards.

That's the.main.reason.i.didnt buy the 4c
..carbon fiber tub.. needs bolts tightened every year or.so
.Dealership fail to mention or are clueless..to.this huge maintenance item..

Aren't we all booked on a group charter called Broken Promises?

You guys got promises?

Mine was more Scorpion & Frog type situation.

I say this tongue and cheek, but my sales rep when I ordered the car openly told me that based on history it could take years for them to arrive if they ever do. It was the most honest and least reassuring statement I've ever encountered from a sales person.

Must be a legacy dealership. Lotus has never been much for product launches but everyone forgets about the nonsense after the cars arrive.

Yes, something about anyone who wants an FE can get one, the price you saw at deposit is the price you'll pay, and worth the wait.
( if you don't mind waiting).
