How fast was you going? He probably just want to check out your car. 😁

Congrats

Oh yea, the body frame and interior of the door and tailgate but the external body and door, hood panels are probably made by Teijin in EU.

The 2GR-FE are made in Japan as no one uses it except Lotus and some Australian car company that make like 10-20 cars a year. I think practically most parts used in the Emira are not produced in the UK and US.. Hethel pretty much only provide the painting and assembly labour.

Yea and it used to until 2 days ago.

I have it on auto in the V6, so far so good.

I have everything that was available done when I picked up at Feb 11th. It's ok as it's going back in for 1K oil change on the 15th. I'll let them take care of it then.

Not quite cancelled. Lotus is waiting to see how negotiation turns out before deciding if they will resume production and shipping.

New problem popped up yesterday. My parking brake will not auto disengage anymore, was working fine before then.

Yes, had all updates done as of Feb 11th before delivery.

Did that. It was still on but I turned it off, stop the car, and then later re-start and turn it back on. Well I'm going in for a 1K oil change on the i4 and I'll have the dealer take care of it then. Thanks.

I have the latest updates as of Feb 11 and the P/N/1 and paddle response is fast. It was working fine until yesterday.

If you do go drive them again. the simplest thing is just find a parking lot with speed bumps and go over them at the same speed. The i4 is much stiffer in the rear.

Started yesterday, was working fine before that. Now I have to manually release the parking brake everytime.

Yea the numbleness definitely comes from the different front rear weight ratio, the i4 rotates faster/better.

with your constant Hwy 9 runs, I would not be surprised.

weight different is 12Kg but the M139 does have more weight in front of the rear axle than the V6. The i4 does have shorter A Arms in the rear but there should be minimal impact on spring requirements.

Go drive it again I have had 3 other Emira owner drove the i4 and without me hinting at the different spring rate. They all thought it's more bouncy compared to the V6 tour. both the front and rear spring are different from V6. I don't have pictures of mine but a friend with a i4 sport have...

on the display or actual when you filled up? I've seen 36mpg on the display at 70. but not when you did a trip calculation when you fill up

Have you driven both side by side. I basically switch between my V6 and i4 every few days and although both touring. the stiffest is definitely different between the two.

There is no 6 months inventory at dealer. especially not V6 manual. There are a lot of V6 auto as who would want a V6 auto now that the i4 is also 400hp and have better performance? ( I won't be surprised if some of those V6 auto will still be on the lot a year from now). The only reason there...

I don't on the V6 either, I get 18-19 average on a good day but much less if I went for a drive in the mountains.

Finally broke 1K miles on the i4. Nice to see 280 miles left in the tank after 120 mile with half & half between tour and sport. That's how much it usually shows in the V6 after a fillup (well maybe a bit over 300 if I've been running in tour for a bit prior). Now that I can go pass 1/2 throttle...

Do you have a VIN yet? 2 more boats have arrived since the 3/17 one and another 200+ V6 base have arrived and got offloaded by 3/31

On the beach at Hwy 1, Lighting was perfect to bring out all the curves on the car.

I've had the USB port problem a couple times on the V6. It just fail to detect the USB drives in the center console, even if I did a reset of the OS but it usually works again on the next trip.

You can blame Geely for many things but they invested enough money at Hethel to transform Lotus from a Kit car shop to an actual modern day production plant.

Question is does arriving in port counts or does the goods on the boat have to clear custom?

I hate to turn this into a political battle but for everyone that said that tariff doesn't work and hurts our own economy. Wake up and go see the world. Almost every country does it to us. Go look at how much a Vette cost in the rest of the world or for that matter how much an Emira cost...

Car & Driver did an article on which manufacturer and which of their model will be impacted. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a64308066/list-of-how-tariffs-will-affect-every-car/
