Yes. I stopped by the Austin dealer on Friday, and pulled out. We talked for a little while, he (JK) was not aware of any FE 1.0 vs 2.0. He suggested his expected allocation would be slated for build in the Feb/Mar '24 time frame, with expected delivery June/July '24. Good luck to you and all...

Hi all, incoming first-time Lotus owner here from Austin, TX. Born and raised in Germany, but I came here as fast as I could (in '94). Got into cars only a few years ago, ~2016, spent most play time before racing bicycles/triathlon. Currently own a '17 Giulia, and heavily tuned '17 124 Spider...

Austin. Same as others, my car won’t arrive until 2023, possibly as late as Q2. Did the test drive yesterday, hope to get around to finally sending introduction and impressions later on.
