Me too

I wish for a carbon fiber slatted tailgate thinggy in place of the Emira FE rear window glass, which is heavy, even larger than the superceded series 3 Exige Cup 390 final ed.n windows, still doesn't possess a window wiper, throws weird reflections onto the rear cabin glass in low light that...

I don't get it. Is nobody giving Lotus Order clients official updates on N.A. Emira delivery news? I was kept posted with an expected schedule confirming build start, build complete, shipping, port delay, dock arrival and dealer handover. Didn't have to ask, I was kept in the brief as a listed...

Yes. Cabin gets hot in direct sun, the tint blocks 60%of UV. I want a fitted front window sunshield, but store sizes are generic. Tallest I could find was 80cm (approx 32in) which is about 2-3 inches short, and they are all too wide. Every last one. I reckon 85cm tall will fit well, with the...

Nah, new vehicle model regulated US market design approval certification process. Something to do with crash safety standards testing, exhaust emissions standard, and general US-specific stuff. Also some ICs fabrication raw materials are in short supply, some kinds of battery cannot be shipped...

I'm going to guess you're either at Barwon Heads, or Ocean Grove, or Lorne, or Airey's Inlet. I didn't know there were so many Victorians driving an Emira already. Now I am feeling for the American buyers waiting on the official FDA <?> road something something certification approval red tape...

Took a drive to Lake Mountain via Kinglake/Toolangi/Chum Creek.. phone port was full of dirt and it went flat: no pics. Went for a drive to Apollo Bay, pro Android Auto tip don't just search Great Ocean Road. Way point is Point Lonsdale, head there from Melbourne and then get onto Great Ocean...

Brady Street? I did see another about 2 weeks ago. In the showroom I remember a Nimbus, Hethel, Dark Verdant, and my car was under a cover. One other car in the showroom and the garage was wall-to-wall Lotus cars of every descrption. I must have seemed quite the impatient philistine, all I...

Red callipers and stitching, I'll post more pics later I just need to pull myself together. Took delivery about an hour ago and just got home. Hadda drive through Melbourne cbd and Botanic Drive/Batman Ave past the MCG, Olympic Park.... first time I ever saw so many Bentley's, Macan's, BMW's...

Jyna has stopped export of Gallium rare earth semiconductor. Could this be why the delay?

Provided you ponied up the second deposit, when asked (build complete, so around shipping time) complete payment is due in full - by 7 days from Invoice (arrival at dealer). You get invoiced, and you gotta cough up kweek.

You don't know how good you've got it: Oz starting price for F/E Emira is $199k AUD, before Stamp Duty, LCT, Compulsory 3rd Party Insurance, and plate Reg... they're around $240k AUD onroad, before PPF and ceramic coating. *pro-tip get a screen for the front windscreen, save your hand from a...

This is the correct amount of fixation anxiety.

I can't understand how your market segment, customer Orders in, deposits down, is left hanging on the hook so long. Some delays with materials, the congested shipping routes, weird container ship fires, a raging war here or there... Matters are a little more fraught than even that. That's just...

I stand by my assertion this colour is far warmer seen in the flesh, in direct sunlight. Perhaps with a sprinkle of part-shadow contrast.

I attended the SSC launch event in Melbourne, they posted a YT short of the color samples. The red is metallic flaked, and in direct sunlight it is quite a warm red.

It should not be happening. Fibreglass marine hulls had this problem in like the '70's - the old resin absorbs water. Newer stuff doesn't, afaik. So ..it should not be happening. Even if cars are not marine craft, why should any car maker using fibreglass accept a known quality control issue...

If it's electric, pushing the accellerator also releases the park brake auto-hold just like auto transmission cars with hill hold assist. It should be intuitive: If it isn't, htf do ppl start the engine, depress the clutch pedal, drop 'er in all her 1st gear, and drive away from the dealership...

Thanks for that input, Mr T. Without going overboard on engine output, here are my bang-for-buck weight reduction suggestions: LiFePO4 cranking battery, carbon louvred tailgate panel (replace the glass, reduce the thermal load latency, reduce weight) the one with all them slats on teh late...
