Emira Fiend
I have definitely thought about it. It’s a terrific car. I’m not much of a German car guy, at least not in the past. But multiple wonderful cars coming from the German manufacturers.Yo buy a pre owned 4.0 718

Hi all. I’ve been away for quite a while now. I wonder if someone here in the US, or knowledgeable about the US market, can catch me up on what is happening. My situation is as follows. I was a July 2021 depositor and ended up as #31 on the list at Flow Lotus in Winston Salem, NC. Ken Scott is my sales associate. As has been true for many, I heard nothing from lotus or flow unless I initiated the communication. This has been true for the last 18 months. The last time I heard from Ken, which seems forever ago, I missed the FE cutoff, which for this dealer I believe was 15 cars. Whether there have been dropouts since then, I have no idea, and past efforts I’ve made to find out where I am on the wait list have been met with no specificity. As has been true for all of us, comms have really been unacceptable. Because of this, I have backed away from the forum for really the past several months. The frustration associated with this experience has really been beyond what I can tolerate, so staying away seemed the best course of action for me. However, now I’m am as clueless as I have ever been about what’s happening in the Emira world. They still have my deposit. There was an opportunity to drive the car in November but I couldn’t get to the dealership from my home in Charlottesville. I’m really struggling to decide what to do at this point. I can’t wait forever. I have no idea when I might be in line to place an order, or if I should just give up and start looking for something else where I am closer to the front of the line. I would really appreciate it if someone could summarize the current state of things for the US market and when I might expect to hear something of consequence from my dealer. thanks so much!
Best,
Mike

Was at a mclaren dealer today and they had an artura waiting to be picked up, and the delivery woes on those sounds like they're even worse than ours

Lotus can be a pain in the ass to deal with sometimes but even at maximum capacity they are still a low production maker. They make great cars and have an awesome history. This is just a bump in a long line of hiccups for this company.Hi all. I’ve been away for quite a while now.

The real question is when we will be notified when USA production officially starts? UK customers were not notified of delays until right before planned delivery dates. USA deliveries were not planned to start until March. So we might not know for some time?
I don't see why comms to NA dealers and customers would be any better than UK - in fact it's been even more patchy so far. UK customers were advised of delays only 4-6 weeks before the expected delivery date and that's happened six times to a similar pattern.That's deciteful and unacceptable. I'll be cancelling and boycotting their brand if that happens. Communication is essential to customer AND dealer satisfaction. How are dealers supposed to retain customers if HQ fails to communicate accurate time lines?
Let's hope for the best, but I think we're all planning and expecting the worst.
Hi @Mike-engel and welcome back. I've moved your post and replies into the existing USA/Canada delivery thread, as that's where all the discussion about North America info is happening.Hi all.

I heard that the configurator for the base model in the US may not be available until September... this is placed in the category of "unreliable rumor", but it seems to align with the indication that Base Model V6 deliveries for 2021 non-FE deposit holders in the US won't happen until Q1/Q2 of 2024. UK buyers are already being given "Winter 2024" estimates for a deposit placed now.
This ^ seems likely - it never made sense to open the base configurator until most F/E orders were done, shipped and sold. Hold on tight guys - but the 2,300 cars for North America in 2023 will not be happening.I heard that the configurator for the base model in the US may not be available until September... this is placed in the category of "unreliable rumor", but it seems to align with the indication that Base Model V6 deliveries for 2021 non-FE deposit holders in the US won't happen until Q1/Q2 of 2024.
