It'd be nice if assembly continued in England, but I'm more concerned that Emira production continue somewhere, even if it is in the US. I think that car is a real contender to the 911, or even the 718 GT4.

Also found this on Amazon for $10 instead of $25, and it comes with multiple crush washers. Also stainless, also M12 x 1.25mm, also niobium magnet. https://www.amazon.com/Magnetic-Stainless-Infiniti-Replaces-90341-12012/dp/B0F8J4WWJS/ref=sr_1_4

There are options out there for plug/patches, essentially patches that have a plug molded in to them that are the best option, but get applied from the inside, but there are also options (never tried it myself) that are a plug with a button head, that can be inserted from the outside via a...

It seems that stupid little compartment forward of the shifter is for a phone. It is slim enough I can't get my hand all the way in, so if you put something small in there, you need to pull the rubber tray to be able to reach it, but for just the phone it works. Someone also 3D printed a piece...

Tariff is levied on the value of the car on the dock, which is the price Lotus UK sells it to Lotus US, plus shipping. This is less than dealer cost, as Lotus US add a margin.

Definitely sharper than air pressure. My first impression was some sort of static electric charge that gets grounded through the amp when I open the door. It's the kind of thing I would expect a serious car company to address if it is a known issue. But I guess if you are teetering on...

Seriously? This is a known issue? Is there a solution, or at least a known cause?

Occasionally, I'll unlock the car, and open the door, and just as I open it, there is a single 'crack' noise. Sounds like from behind the driver's seat. It sounds like a spark went through the amplifier and caused a speaker to pop. I can't make it happen, and it does not always happen...

It's under warranty, right?

I have since solved the key attachment issue, and have offered to send people in the US two sets for $5. Key Ring

Not only keyless entry, but the trunk button is not recessed, so with the fob in my pocket, the trunk is occasionally opened, and I have to get out to re-latch it. And then the stupid small attachment point for a key ring. Still, add a V8 and a targa top, it’s a $150k car.

If you are not willing to wait, take any paperwork you have to a lawyer. There is no standard sales contract - each dealer will have their own. I put down $2,500 three years ago, when it was first announced. This was always fully refundable. I put down 10% when Lotus informed the dealer that...

Note that the 10% tariff is on the value of the car as it is offloaded from the ship - ie the cost from Lotus UK to Lotus USA. Lotus USA then marks it up to the dealer, and the dealer marks it up to the customer, but these markups come after the tariff is paid. So it is not an incremental 7.5%...
