Lotus of Dallas has set up an enclosed cubicle just for PPF and ceramic
They did a deal with Xpel and they send xpel people to do it
They did a fantastic job in my car

How much is Lotus of Dallas charging for PPF and for ceramic?

How much is Lotus of Dallas charging for PPF and for ceramic?

PPF pricing varies depending on what you get done. They have different packages.
The ceramic was I think $1200 but was included in what they call dealer prep
I did not argue as I was going to get it done anyway. Best price I found was $1100 elsewhere. But better it was done at the dealership. For me anyway.
Should we have been told this YES for sure. But I waited 33 months for the car and was not going to argue about it.
I just wanted the car.
They have over the years done a ton of stuff for me on my Evora at no charge and I took this into consideration.

She’s home!

Congrats!

Got mine today in Las Vegas. Sport chassis. All other options you can tell from looking at it. Super excited. Financed 98k at 4.75% for 36 months using my local credit union.

Again, great to see how close we all are to taking delivery, but this is an absolute shit show. Last minute charges. Cars MIA. Cars sitting at ports cuz dealers cant deliver quickly enough. If there was a playbook on how to fuck up a new product launch - Lotus would be a best selling author.

Once the CARB cert was announced (which was just on Monday), I see people getting their cars and having great experiences with their dealers for the most part. A few dealers are playing the ADM game but generally not too bad.

Hardly a shit show, in my opinion. Cars aren't MIA. They may be in transit due to the quick announcement. Really, what do you expect from these dealers? Instantaneous delivery of 500+ cars that were only approved on Monday?

I wouldn’t say instanteous delivery of cars but at least a good understanding of an ETA. Seems like many cars are “out there” somewhere and dealers don’t realistically know where they are or when they will arrive. It’s all guessing it appears

All tucked away with her siblings.

Awesome collection of vehicles- you must be used to getting reactions whenever you drive. Let us know if the Emira gets more attention than the Lambo or Ferrari

Nice collection. My collection is going in a different direction. I’ll spare the details but never get drunk and tell your significant other you fantasize about having a 25-yr old escort……

Is that a black pack?

Partial black pack. The options are limitless.

Congrats to those who have taken delivery!

Has anyone noticed any difference in the way the car behaves? Specifically, is there any change in throttle responsiveness or rev hang from the demo (european) cars that many of us drove?

I put 40 miles of twisty road driving on the car last night. Nothing negative or concerning in connection with throttle response or revs. The car feels light and playful, well-settled, and sounds great.

Hey....I take offence to that!! . Great looking car. Mine is stranded there now until tomorrow in the rain

Shane told me you flew in with I assume in your thumbnail/avatar plane……. pretty cool and in style saw your’s, beautiful as well!

Generally pickup experience at Lotus Cape Fear was excellent, Shane H and Cameron took their time to go over car details, did a test drive, followed most of brainf18 checklist, Cameron eyes opened wide when I pulled that large sheet out, but passed with flying colors.

The finance manager Brian was professional as well, tried to sell extended warranty and rim insurance, but was not pushy after I declined, so all good…..they have to sell their products…….

Yep I flew in to make an event out of the purchase! I thought about bringing the checklist but worried what they would think when I pulled it out!

Agree on Brian - I declined all additional services as well (I always feel guilty), but he didn't push at all and said it was good practice to go through it with me as a guinea pig.

The car looked to be all sorted and Shane assured me they went it through it several times to ensure everything was up to par. Glad your car passed the checklist and hopefully you'll get to enjoy it on Sunday after the rain.
