    Production Updates & U.S. Delivery Timing (V6FE)

    Those schedules are little earlier than my dealer told me over the phone recently (though likely buffering on his side). He was suggesting that April orders meant November production start with @ 45 days delivery from there. So I was still expecting a car stateside very late 2022/very early...

    The Elmira Forums 😄

    Given all the EL-eltre chatter on this Emira forum.. she's technically not wrong.

    Yellow Emira at Eletre launch

    Feeling much stronger about my decision against the black pack. Admittedly, early on it was an existential crisis. I will change up the lettering on the back to black. But I like the more connected cabin look sans upper black pack. No offense to those going with the black pack. I does create a...

    Test Drive unlikely before Commitment for Early depositors

    Test drives a Lotus. "That was awful." Said no one. Ever. It's just not gonna matter. The car is gonna be great, drive well and be an amazing experience. And if you truly don't like it (which would be pretty weird), you'll likely be able to flip quickly for next to no loss. It's a low risk...

    Dealer Markups (Stateside)?

    For those of in the US, we clearly have to contend with actual dealerships who are notorious for all sorts of shenanigans. Wondering folks thoughts about artificially high dealer markups. A member had posted in another thread that Victory Lotus (NJ) added a $20k dealer mark up to which they...

    Pulled out, after getting conflicting delevery dates from Lotus CC

    That's a hell of a lot of machine for $45k (I know it's pounds but I don't have that currency symbol). Congrats.

    3rd Phone Call?

    Sorry @Mike-engel I doubled checked my emails to make sure my dates are straight and I was actually wrong.. I emailed back a signed "purchase agreement" (such as it was) from the first deposit on July 16th, 2021 (not mid-August as I wrote previously, apologies) to Summit NJ Lotus. And at that...

    Privacy glass

    For what it's worth, if you play with the configurator in the "Sunlight" setting and move the car to reveal the three quarter rear-ish, overhead view, you can toggle the privacy glass off/on and actually see the difference. See image below:

    Getting lower black pack - yet getting LOTUS and exhausts sprayed gloss/black???

    Exhaust no, but I would definitely prefer the LOTUS in black even though I'm not getting upper black pack. I'm planning on PPF'ing so assuming the silver LOTUS badging needs to be removed anyway. I'm actually wondering if Lotus will make black LOTUS badging available. Something they sell/provide...

    Your post might as well have literally been in chinese.. haha.. there are car audio guys and then there are CAR AUDIO GUYS. But seriously, glad your expectation is that the system will be pretty good. You clearly have a great working knowledge of car audio systems. Actually, slight edit @Pav...
