I was told mine was 2999.....when I go to pick up I will check into it.

I am getting mine next week from Flow Lotus. How much was your delivery fee?

Wow.....wonder why I have not heard anything. My car has been at the dealer since December as well. I will call them tomorrow.

When you say "set to pick up", I assume you are assuming we can purchase soon or have you been told so?..i.e...a specific date. Thanks.

Thanks bro. Yeah, Ken has done a good job. Hopefully we can all purchase in March.

Congrats, I live in Wake Co too and my Nimbus is sitting at Flow Lotus. Just waiting to be told I can come get it!

Also talked to my dealer yesterday. No word on CARB yet and would not estimate a timeframe.

These audio upgrade costs are laughable. Anything over $3-4k would not be worth it.

Not really. We had a '97 Tercel at a vacation property that got drove about twice a year. For 5 years it was never on a tender. Than someone stole it. That was a great car.

Mine has arrived! I get to "visit" next week. Will have more pics then.

Flow Lotus got four more today. Two Nimbus (one should be mine), one DV and one red. I am waiting to hear back if one of the Nimbus's is mine.

Thanks. I am calling in the next day or two to check on the second shipment. I was #4 but he said Lotus did not build them in the order they were received, so just another nice unpleasant piece of information. So we'll see.

Yes!

Ha, small world. Glad to hear you can order now! I wish Lotus had all the colors that are available now when I ordered way back in 2021. The green is too dark, I saw it in person a couple months ago. As for me getting my car, I have no confidence in any timeframe. It will probably sit at the...

I don't remember which test drive I had. The person I did talk to (if it was you) had a number in the 80's or something like that. Not sure if that was you.

Ken's a good guy, but I have found I have to call to get info.

Ken is off today. I called over there to get someone else and they confirmed 3 Emiras have arrived. Two are grey (now I am not sure which grey). Don't know the other color. Ken is back in tomorrow. I am hoping one of them is mine. But if not, should be in next shipment. Also, I had to ask them...

I am glad to do it once I get my car!!!

Exactly, I saw it in person too and then changed my order to Nimbus. Too dark unfortunately.

I got a Nimbus grey as well, lower black pack, tan interior, black wheels and yellow calipers. I originally went for the dark verdant, but then thought it looked too black if not in sunlight. If it was like a British racing green I would have stuck with that.

I ordered mine from Flow in Winston. I am #4 in line. Got the VIN, hope they are getting deliveries this week.

I did get my VIN today (from Flow Lotus in NC), so at least the car exists....I think.

Talked to my dealer (Flow in Winston Salem), I am a FE first batch V6 customer. One of the first in the State, and he is going to see about the VIN but says the CARB meeting is not till January now, so I don't think I am getting my car till Feb at earliest. He says maybe Jan, but a month ago he...

That could be my car based on the visual spec.

My dealer today confirmed my V6 FE has been built and now they are waiting on shipping info. They expect I will have it by end of December. Said it will be in the "first wave" of shipments to the States.

Nice recent test drive in the States on Youtube.

I agree with this except I don't think even initial depreciation will be bad. There is more demand still than supply and how that plays out will affect short run (5 year) depreciation. I agree in the long run they will be sought after as ICE sports cars with manuals will soon be a thing of the past.

Agreed. You're bank/credit union should be able to finance. Soon as you see the word "subprime" run. That is code for massive interest rate.

It's certainly your prerogative to accept terrible business practices that involve your money. Defending Lotus's complete refusal to even send one email a quarter is laughable. Doesn't matter if nothings changed, there is a way to conduct business in a professional manner and you are fine that...

This is a ludicrous take. There is NOTHING unreasonable with expecting quarterly updates even if it is "nothing has changed" when you hand a company thousands of dollars. It takes one person with a form email to knock this out once a quarter. Spare me your indignation. You obviously have never...

I have had an order in since July 2021 and ZERO communication from Lotus manufacturing. If you allocate that to "culture", I don't want any part of said culture. There is something called basic business principals and courtesy. And so far, Lotus has been a complete failure in this. When people...

I was told FE cars being produced in Oct/Nov and delivery by end of December. I was also told before that I would have my car by Halloween.

That's really awesome. Well done.

Why get the 4 when you can get the 6?......

Yes, heard the same thing.

Agree completely. I always have to call the dealer to try and get any update.

Yes, so far we have not caved to the cult of climate change like some other countries have. Although some States like California are limiting gas models in 2035.

You know Lotus. This is my fourth delivery date. I'll believe it when it's parked in front of me.

Great to get one in Raleigh. I live in Cary and am #4 on the list in the State for an FE. Supposed to get the car by Halloween but not holding my breath. Ordered via Flow Lotus. Would be nice to have a local dealer for service.
