    When Lotus / Lotus Dealers confirm on Monday, then I'll be the first to say sorry, I was wrong for doubting the authenticity of the document. Thanks for the info!

    Agree...If its a photoshop then its pretty good one. If its legit where did it come from. That little detail was conveniently omitted from the original post

    I hope it is legit but until the information comes from a verifiable source I'd be skeptical.

    Its total BS. Wait for this to come from Lotus or a Dealer. Other than that its just some jokester trying to stir the pot

    Not sure what's moronic about pointing out your mistake. Go to the configurator and see for yourself. Steering wheel in alcantara is a $530 Option https://www.lotuscars.com/en-US/configurator/emira/emira-v6-first-edition Geezzz...Don't be so defensive and lighten up "Karen"

    Wrong. Configurator still shows a $530 charge. I know Forums are for information sharing. But it would be great if that information was correct from time to time...

    It amazes me how rude and arrogant some high end sales organizations can be. I understand they don't want to waist time with "tire kickers" but at the same time a good salesperson will always ask questions to qualify a client, but at the very least should treat everyone with a basic level of...

    How much time do you spend on this forum and looking at Emira videos per day?

    The closer to the "finish line" I get the more I get sucked in. That and its the only place for information since Lotus is like a black hole for communications.

    Bad News for China Sales??

    All of these discussions are missing the underlying forcing function for EV adaptation and long term macro economic viability. CONSUMER DEMAND. Irrespective of global markets, trends in the USA have not been favorable for EVs. Tesla was first to market and filled what demand was there. As...

    The end is near....And no its not CARB approval

    In the USA at least, I think the i4 is going to be be seen as the lesser of the two engine options and depreciate much more over time. Additionally the i4 being a turbo is much more likely to be "tuned" (translation for mechanically molested) and that will further reduce the i4's resale

    The end is near....And no its not CARB approval

    I agree that theres a chance the Emira will hold its value well. It has a timeless design and with low production numbers it will likely be sought after for years. This assumes that Lotus continues to be a viable company with adequate OEM parts support.

    0% APR finance

    On second thoughts my projections where likely optimistic and you're probably right. 1000 units annually is about all they can hope for as the initial "new to market" hype fades

    0% APR finance

    I think when the initial batch of Lotus aficionados who've waited patiently for the Emira have possession of their cars demand for the Emira will wane and be more in line with the current market for 2 seat sports cars. I wouldn't be surprised if the Emira fails to matched the Supra at about 2500...

    Supercar you would take instead of the Emira

    Not really interested in many supercars b/c no manual transmission option. Pretty much leaves the 911 Gt3. Or 911T. That said 911 is so ubiquitous it’s a fun drive but visually a boring option. Maybe a v8 ford GT

    It depends. Dealers get allocations and those allocations get assigned to clients. Some dealers get more, some get less. Some have more demand for their allotted allocations, some less. So your best bet is to start with your "most" local dealer and ask. Beyond that start working the phones...

    Lotus stock ( LOT ) given a thumbs down today on Barron's Roundtable financial show

    Emira is not a factor from a bean counting perspective but surely is for brand reputation and word of mouth communications between existing Lotus customers and future potential customers for their SUV and mass market vehicles. Safe to say Lotus is a well known brand with enthusiasts but not so...

    This is a copy of what you should get via email from your dealer once the allocation is confirmed, submitted and received by Lotus. It includes the order confirmation code at the bottom.
