A funny aside: when I was originally shopping the Los Gatos dealer had zero manual. I just checked again and it’s now nearly all V6 MT. Boardwalk too seems to be mostly V6 MT.

It’s an easy conclusion but I think it’s far from the full picture; even if the SUV and the other car had been ICE, who would buy them? They aren’t true Lotuses, they are way overpriced, they are (IMhO) ugly, and they are brand new unproven entries to that market. I don’t think they ever had a...

I’m two days late but finally done with the break-in phase, and I have yet to hit the rev limiter

Did you change your wheels? I assume yours is the left-most one and they do not match your profile picture. I have to say, I like them a lot.

Narrator: it was not, in fact, all there I have a lot of apps, most actually, that doesn’t support CarPlay. Some are messaging apps, including Signal, and it’s desirable to see incoming messages.

The Roadster never had a sled battery. It's a battery back behind the seats, exactly like the Evija. The weight balance may be right but I assume Lotus got it right in the Evija and thus could do the same for Emira. I also like hearing and smelling the horses as they drag my carriage (I just...

Ignoring for a moment that "Lotus has confirmed it is planning a plug-in hybrid version of the Emira sports car" is an outright lie, I find it difficult to imagine a PHEV (= ICE + alternator + Motor + Battery) is going to come anywhere near the mass of the Emira. I know, I know, we are all...

This is a brilliant idea, but I'd suggest a trivial option to this: add a blank side so you can chose have a single side only (which depends on how you configure it). In my case I'd leave the bottle in the generally-empty passenger side.

We are totally hijacking the thread but I would love to meet owners and learn even more.

A loud dark verdant (I think) blew past me on 85S today (near Mnt View) which was only the 2nd Emira I have seen in the wild.

The title includes “SF Bay Area” which is south of San Francisco, North California, but I agree that is a large area. FWIW I’m Milpitas and Mountain View mostly.

Welcome and congratulations. Be sure to post pics when you take possession. I recommend you search the forum as this has been discussed a lot. I couldn’t stomach the local price for the official cover (I think Boardwalk asked for $1k+) so I got this: https://a.co/d/2IRxk0p However it sounds...

FWIW: my car came from a dealer's lot with sport suspension. On normal roads and freeways, this is fine, great even. However, driving up in the North California mountains with the G'awful roads, the sport suspension is not passing the wife test. I'm still considering changing the suspension...

I think crawling in a Lotus would tax my dexterity
