Count me in for a leather one. Yellow stitch or Green if available.

CT is a CARB state. Could been ordered thru a non-CARB state & shipped to CT.

CT = CARB State? Ordered in a CARB State? If so, could be 1st CARB state car delivered.

I stand corrected. I will never make that mistake again.

The plural of "lotus" is "lotuses" or "loti." Sigh, No Loti on ship. Maybe Loti on next ship

When my car finally arrives at the dealer, would it be out of turn to ask them to put it on a lift so I can inspect the bottom based upon what I am seeing in these photos?

Reminds me of high school economics. So its LIFO, not FIFO. I was told by my dealer to expect my car by end or March. This is not going to happen. If I knew it was on a boat, I would at least have a reasonable delivery timeline in my head. At this point, the wait is excruciating. Going...

Find a nice Z8, convertible, 6 speed, 400 hp, won't depreciate, maintaining won't break you, & beautiful. I'm partial to mine

If you are getting a gift, you should have already received an email from Lotus directly that it will be coming "soon"

Received mine today as well. Notebook that will never use. Everything else is nice

By the time I get my gift it will down to some green & yellow paperclips, a ream of Lotus letterhead paper & XXS tee shirt

NYS - No gift, Have VIN, FE 1.0 9/20/21 deposit

Low 1500's

Anyone get a "gift" in the last week or so? Aside from CARB approval.

Long Island? My FE 1 is with them. Have VIN. Told last month car was still in England. Thinking, mid to end or March.

Checking in to see if anyone received their gift in the last couple of days. Is this another broken promise? Possibly arriving "soon"?

Just a thought, I have a VIN, Car is sitting at factory per last report. Could I take delivery at factory, Pay for car/get insurance. Drive around England/Europe & return car to factory for shipment to USA after CARB is approved? What would/could prevent this?

You have no idea what you are talking about. I have had my Taycan 4S since 2020. 43,000 flawless miles. No battery degradation at all. I have had 2 Tesla model S before that again , no issues except crap build quality. Live with am EV on a daily, you will never go back to ICE.

I received the email about the "free gift" It has not arrived as yet. I have questions: 1. Is the free gift for FE1.0 deposit holders only or all NA deliveries? 2. Lotus NA - Has my home address? Via the dealer? 3. Anyone in the NY tri-state area receive their gift? (probably not, b/c we are...

Eagle7 - 5 delays & counting. I have 0 confidence that I will receive the car in March. What I may have desired 2 years ago may not be the same as now. I've been eyeing a nice touring bike. A bunch friends may do an extended road trip out west this summer. Cali to BC & beyond. It may be the...

Spoke to my dealer yesterday. He said not to expect my car until end of March. CARB State. FE 1.0 Deposit 9/21. So much for 1st few weeks of 2024 per Lotus email.. Just so tired of all this BS. Seriously, don't know if I even want it anymore.

What do these look like installed?

Drumbeats getting louder. Maybe Lotus thinks bad press is better than no press at all.

It's a good Friday, Just got my VIN today. Car is still at Hethel but expected to ship within 2 weeks. Looking at end of February for delivery. Deposit holder since October 2021. The end is in sight. Thrilled at the news.

I laugh when I go to a local C&C on a Sunday & see 10+ 911 GT3, GT3-RS GT-3 Touring with their huge wings. P-car guys ooh & ahh at the latest PTS color & bespoke options. It's like watching them compare who has the biggest d**k. These cars were developed as track cars that can be driven on...

So CARB states get no cars? Makes no sense since none can be sold without CARB approval regardless of what state it is in. Am I off-base on this?

Why would they? No front plate requirement in Florida.

Were these photos taken at a dealership? CARB or non- CARB state?

You are looking at this from hindsight. I was thrilled to get the FE 1.0. At that time there was no FE 2.0. Was not even a concept. Kind of like getting tickets to a concert you know will be sold out & thinking you won the lottery. Then they add a 2nd night. Yes, I am price protected, some...

I really do not understand how FE 2.0's are being delivered at the same time as FE 1.0 Logic would dictate that cars are produced in the order that deposits/final builds were submitted as I was told by the dealer. So, If 2.0 cars are on a boat, Are all FE1.0 cars alsoalready built and either...

I have a BMW Z8 purchased 13 years ago & a BMW 1M purchased 5 years ago The Z8 is worth 2X what i paid for it. The 1M is worth 30% more than I paid for it. So, I beg to differ. The Emira FE.1 I have on order probably will depreciate unless I decide to unload it in the 1st year. When all ICE...

I saw this list, Visual items can be looked at before signing. Some of these issues will not appear at delivery but after you live with it for a while. I was looking a delivery checklist. BEFORE you sign & drive away.

Now that the delivery of North American cars is imminent, Has anyone developed a delivery checklist of things that we should look for or items to be included with the car? Not a list of problems/issues, but an itemized list of things we should look at or insure they are accounted for BEFORE we...

Long Island

My dealer informed me that cars will be arriving next month. I am in either 2nd or 3rd delivery of FE1.0. I am thinking January 2024 for mine. Taking it all with a grain of salt.. I am a believe it when I see it guy.

Very confusing. Morgan, McLaren, Pagani, Koenigsegg, & all other small volume manufacturers are buying credits? Sounds unlikely. Morgan can get their shit together but Lotus cannot?

Being produced? Like now? Anyone going for a factory visit in the near future? They can confirm or deny this immediately.

As of today British lb is .82 to US Dollar.. Up from .79 in August. Lotus will be making more money on US cars if they could be sold now. Who knows where the pound will be when US Emiras arrive. Lotus is missing the boat on exchange rate

yeah, yeah, yeah. Heard that story before. Believe it when I see it.

I am an FE deposit holder since since October of 2021 & I am still in for a number of reasons. 1. I am fortunate to have & garage a few cars, the Emira will not be a DD. Just a weekend & excursion car. 2. Any other car I may want is a a price point that is much higher than the Emira. I have...
