I wonder if this would be easier to apply using a syringe? I see McMaster has stainless tips in various diameters. Similar to how you’d apply solder paste (for SMT PCBs). Seems like it could be a good way to fill. I’ve got epoxy screen printing inks at work in black & red which should hold up...

They told you MSRP? That’s unusual for Galpin.

What’s the ADM?

A lot has happened since I started this thread! I placed the order & confirmed an FE2 V6 manual. in the meantime I ended up buying an Evora GT back in July. At that point I had no idea if & when an Emira would materialize, so I thought I’d drive the GT until the Emira shows up. Turned out I fell...

So funny! 9am got the “expected delivery first few weeks of 2024“ email. This is the first and ONLY communication I have ever received about this car other than texts with my sales guy and some initial acknowledgment that I placed an order with no detail whatsoever. A couple months ago...

So you’re saying you can get an FE2 allocation from Galpin without ADM right now? Because if not, that’s meaningless.

Is it bad form to cancel your order via text? I mean, it’s not like breaking up with a gf.. And FYI it was #2 spot at Galpin for FE2 with $20K ADM. With the Evora GT just didn’t have the urgency anymore. Once they start actually delivering cars & we see real deliveries, I may reorder locally at...

Away for a couple weeks. That was a lot of posts to wade through! TL;DR some funny memes, nothing new. Guess I’ll run my Evora GT out to the coast & back, and decide if today’s the day to cancel the Emira order.

I can go to the back of the line with a base and pay MSRP.

I know this is a silly question because no one has any idea, but… I’m paying a big ADM to get an FE2.0. It’s starting to seem like I could cancel that order, place a new order for base with a local dealer that doesn’t charge ADM, and only delay by 6 months or less. Big cost savings and...

Do you think that July-September delivery is based on any actual communication from Lotus or just a WAG?

Same deal exactly.

Yup. I know the car exactly. It was offered to me but spec including color was too far out from what I wanted.

Dealer contacted me yesterday and asked me to send the config code (again..) and he’ll lock my build this week. This is for FE2.0, of course. Ironically, I bought an Evora GT the day before. 🤷🏻

Same here. In anticipation of locking in FE2 spec he asked me.. dealer: did we switch to a 4? me: hell no dealer: ok good Buying a Lotus requires a good sense of humor.
