JLR Halts Production... again
#41
Ya that's pretty much the boat I'm in. It could take a year, but unless JLR flat out cancels my order, I'm on the hook for my deposit. But I knew this going in and in this market, I guess I'm OK with it. Especially since my Emira deposit is refundable at this point.
It may get to a point where I have to decide which I want. Unfortunately, my unrefundable F-type deposit is twice my Emira one 😒

From there orders start in November. If I'm lucky enough to get an allocation (they are only sending around 500 1st Editions to the states) then I won't even get the car until next summer/fall.
So ya.. Lots of waiting for possibly no car. Hence the reason I doubled down on an F-type.

Oh heck no they don't have a date! Apparently Lotus is notorious for delays. At this point, it's a refundable deposit. Confirmed pricing and specs won't even be released until next month (hopefully!).

Sometimes I just wish I saw cars as an appliance like so many other people. Life would be easier me thinks 🤣

Oh my lord! I can't even imagine that! I loved my C7 GS, but just haven't warmed up to the C8. Even considered getting a Carbon 65 C7 but.. Eh. In the long run, I think the Jag would make me happier.

I've never liked the standard variants of the late model corvette. The GS and ZO6 always fix the wrongs of the base models. Wide bodies, wheels, etc.

haha, me too! Cars are an addiction for me. I'll never have enough money to ever get all the cars I want. I only recently am able to afford a six figure second car. Funny, my main goal for striving for success in my career wasnt anything more than to earn enough money to afford nice cars. Lol shallow I know...

In a fit of frustration I sent an email to Jaguar USA hoping to pry some information from them regarding the future of 2022 F-Type production.
Though I didn't mention it in my email to them I am a bit put off by the fact that their web sites allows for the build-your-own exercise but mentions nothing about the fact the factory is not accepting orders at this time. That doesn't seem to be good customer relations in my opinion.

Edit to add: My order was updated today with a change I made. Salesman has said nothing about there being issues yet...

Hahaha... Well, sometimes they do. I know the dealer I'm working with has a couple of inbound F-type but they're in the typical white and black, which I'm not interested in.

Thanks for your input.

Apparently there is a chance I am getting lied to by my dealer? If so, that would definitely cost them a sale or two or three going forward; but I'll wait until I hear from them and hopefully get a reply to the email I sent Jaguar USA before I make a final determination.
Thanks for your input.

I'm still kinda holding my breath that the order may be canceled, but based on what I'm hearing, but so far, so good. I'll definitely report back here if/when something with my order changes.
