We delivered one in London last night. There have been issues but there always will be with this kind of car.

Apparently serious enough issues to halt production.
I am sure the others also have issues,but not enough to halt production to rectify.

Has it actually been confirmed that there is a production stop?

Per another forum (rennteam), someone who has one on order has confirmed the stop sale. Rear axle lower trailing arm quality issue it seems.

The factory does close down for several weeks August, so that will clearly add a delay.

Interesting. As of yesterday, all was well in 918 Land... So I guess its old news as Apolo mentioned?

I know, but its not just that, its heat soak and the batts....the problem for these cars is the thermal management of the batts, if it gets just a few d to hot, not only do you lose massive power, but it wont hold its charge either.....

I have driven a Laf....the ICE engine is epic, but the e-power input is very small......
