JCR Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 I haven't had my email to complete 2nd deposit stage. I will get in touch with the guy I normally speak with and find out why. I spoke with him few weeks ago and have been waiting for the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM TomE Posted April 14 Gold FFM Report Share Posted April 14 I don’t think anyone has had an email about second deposit unless they’ve contacted Lotus. The outbound exercise to i4 people was supposed to start on 8 April but looks to have been delayed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold FFM Evotion Posted April 20 Gold FFM Report Share Posted April 20 I hope that 3 new entries on this list, in 8 months, is a sign of a quirt forum and not indicative of any sever fall-off in interest.

marclurr Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 I've regretfully pulled my deposit today due to the burden that is home-ownership taking priority. I now hope they depreciate very fast so I can get one in a year or two 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marclurr Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 I'm really disappointed, especially after living with the hype of owning one of the first since last July. But the house needs a decent chunk of work doing if we're either to a) love it and stay, or b) hate it and sell it on, and tying up close to £80k in a vehicle seems borderline irresponsible 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaJiK Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Place a deposit on the 27 July and have just had the email saying November build and December delivery. I may just switch to a launch edition and spec as I want, have a few months to make changes anyway so will sit on it for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM TomE Posted April 29 Gold FFM Report Share Posted April 29 They appear to be contacting people with UK V6 FE deposits after 12 July to advise target delivery batches from Sept to Dec. I've not seen anyone saying Jan 2023 or later yet. Second shift is due to be in place much sooner than originally planned, so they will do some catching up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 Well I was a 10th July deposit. Have already told them I do not want a LE V6 as want a test drive first and probably not even a LE i4 as don't particularly like any of the 6 colours. What do I get today from Lotus? E-mail stating need to lock in my V6 spec by 1st May and by 6th May no changes. Car will be finished Sept. and delivered October! Well that must be good news for somebody! Just not me. I contacted somebody who is wanting a LE i4 (not on our list) who's deposit was a few days ahead of me and he has heard nothing to date! Passed the info on to him and he phoned them to get his i4 Link sent out for speccing. Seemed a bit of confusion today. Who would have guessed. However a final paragraph did say "News around test drives will be shared in the coming weeks." Quote A LEGS man and proud to declare it!

Gold FFM MJON Posted April 30 Gold FFM Report Share Posted April 30 My last contact with Lotus was on the 15th October when I was asked to confirm engine spec, as I’m going for i4 they advised they will call back at a later date. Yet to get that call but really don’t want to take delivery midwinter, plus I would like to see some cars beforehand, so just chilling 🥶 hope it doesn’t develop to cooling 🥱😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

390ja Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 Seems quite a lot of people were undecided i4 or v6 on the list. Have many firmed up their decision? I’m still very uncertain about going for an Emira at all. Not because I worry about the car but because it would have to replace the Exige..

390ja Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 That’s what I was thinking, I’m right at the bottom but have already passed up a v6 slot ages ago. I’m very interested to see how many people ended up opting for the i4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
