As surprising as it is that Lotus hasn't invoiced dealerships yet, it does seem to be the universal case. Maybe LCU is still playing games with allocations? I'm somewhat encouraged to hear that the dealership you overheard is 'concerned' and unhappy to be kept in the dark. I feel less alone now.

I can't imagine Lotus would have that much leverage with a $40k car, backordered or not. If they trickle in at 5 a month, that still has to be less exciting to most of these high-ticket dealerships than a single Lambo sale.
