Porter's Emira in the wild this morning!

I am not, I had a car that had PPF issues, swore I would never use again. It was painful and stressful to remove. I plan to put a ceramic coating on myself, not sure which one yet.

I am 1902

Rockville, MD, checking with them now.

Holy Cow, Mine is on this list!!!!!

Do we know if anyone picked up their V6 Man FEV2.0 in non CARB States yet?

Nice!

Pics - to prove you are #1!

So not confirmed by Dealer.

What will happen in 2024? 16th century seer Nostradamus predicts naval war, climatic catastrophe, rise of a new monarch in Britain, and Lotus Emira deliveries in the U.S. as follows: 1 April 2024: FE 1.0 V6 Manual deliveries start 29 April 2024: FE 2.0 V6 Manual deliveries start 3 June 2024: FE...

Pumpkin Pride. Since no one in the US has taken delivery, and they are only "US spec" I do not see any one changing them out yet. I also do not see them being as easy to change out as on a 996 or 997. Best case you will be able to open up the headlight assembly to modify.

Totally agree, very small impact if added on aftermarket. I am sensitive to requirements creep in my professional life. I was looking at it as an original requirement, where the requirement drives a different control system then snowballs into many different systems suppliers.

Downside: added requirements always mean added cost and weight

If the Emira was going to be replaced in 2027 with the all electric type 135, I think Lotus would be taking deposits now in 2024. At least that is the model they used with the Emira (started taking deposits in 2021). On another note, my daily CARB website check resulted in the typical scroll of...

"Worth the Wait"

I am a block away from Fort Hunt Park, probably have seen each other - I walk our dog there almost every day.

I just looked n the owners manual and do not see anything about yellow dots. My guess is they are the auto dimming sensors. Not sure if they relate directly to the three dimming settings: “light”, “normal” and “dark”.

And I

If you keep scrolling down it switches the year 2024.

I kept a tender on all of my Porsches, if you leave them for a week or more you will have issues. Worst thing you can do is leave a Porsche unlocked - battery will drain quick. I had a 1991 Miata as a daily driver - original battery lasted 8 years. The Miata did not have anything electronic...

I am in the same "boat" :) as you, a V6 manual I presume? MD (assuming Rockville?) is a CARB state, so not surprised he has no cars orVINs yet. A couple weeks ago he it was still looking like April 24 delivery for a FE 2.0 V6 manual with my final configuration submitted in 16 Aug 2023. In...

That is how I understand it.

There is no Lotus Dealer in VA, in The DC area Rockville, MD is closest.

From My Dealer "Just need to pass the Carb Certification as the letter mentions. We are a Carb dealer, so we will not receive the vehicles until completed. Other dealers that are in EPA states, they will receive their vehicles, but they cannot sell it until completed. " Also, mentioned my V6...

My Dealer (Maryland) informed me of the same (FE 2.0 V6 Manual delivery in April 2024) back in Aug 2023, but that was based on a Dec 2023 build, not sure if that is still the case. If CARB is obtained in January and deliveries start , I would expect delivering 500 cars would take 2-3 months...

If the teams meeting is with Hethal, UK (they are +5 from EST), It would make sense it is around mid day EST (11AM EST = 4PM in the UK = 8AM in California).

Based on all the feedback afterwards, I am thinking more like quarterly.

When was the last time they had a teams call? I am guessing they do not happen very often.

Not to be a Debbie downer but, from what I can tell from the CARB website (past approvals posted on it) certifications show up at the very end or beginning of the month. So if we do not see anything posted on CARB by 5 Dec, I would guess certification would not be until calendar year 2024.

Yes, I drove today, she has the sport suspension.

Thanks for the update Ryder, I can't wait to my slot on Friday afternoon. Hope the weather holds out.

Looks like back on, from Loc today: "The event will be held from June 23rd through July 9th (Saturdays and Sundays will be limited) and the hours are from 10 am to 5 pm. "
