Extremely interesting - I may be wrong but does anyone recall as well that the initial UK data (it may have been in Harry’s video), Hethel Yellow was the most popular, or very close with Seneca. I also remember noticing when the first cars were delivered in the UK and people were posting...

No news on your car or haven’t got news about placing an order? I’m early 30s - July 2021, got my order September 2023 and car was built in Feb but hasn’t arrived yet. Just a guess but I feel like they were at around 100 around the time you’re referring to and guess would be they’ve gotten to...

I don’t see a way to add someone as a mod or move it - if you let me know how to make you a mod or move it I’ll happily do so.

Sounds about right, hopefully sooner if Lotus sorts their inventory management by then. Your order build date is 2 months after what mine was and (I was March but it moved up because they cancelled all the auto builds - so yours is likely is in fact built or on the line now). It’s looking like...

Welcome! Curious why you went through Calgary. Were you later to deposit and therefore shorter wait via Calgary? Curious how they gave you an August date - they seem to get the VIN once the car is built…mine was built in Feb but the dealer never told me an expect delivery date haha. Still...

Atlantic Sun left Halifax today, eta New York May 9. Haven’t heard any news of Emira’s on the water though so it’s likely a mystery until it’s unloaded, last week’s ship was empty 😔.

I feel your pain! I waited until finally getting my VIN to lease a 2nd parking space for the Emira (not wanting to risk lack of availability when it arrives or far away from the spot I own). I’ll end up having sunk at least $600 on an empty parking space before it arrives lol.

Wonder if they are fixing these in the UK before shipping for the cars that haven’t been put on ships yet - it does appear there is some delay in ships hitting the water when cars have been sitting in Hethel that have been built for 2 months…

You were just below 5 right?

Awesome idea! Don't have mine yet but will fill when I do, could you clarify the reservation date - would that be deposit or date of locking in the spec? Perhaps have both questions?

Varies by dealer, I don't know freight specific but it sounds like 7Kish total fees for west coast and 5Kish for Toronto...

Congrats!!! Still waiting for my Seneca any day soon, I know someone else had the drivers side noise issue - sounds very common and it was adjusted at the dealership so seems like a common thing but very fixable. When I test drove it in Toronto the feeling over potholes etc. blew my mind - ate...

Do you mean Atlantic Sky? I’m seeing that one on May 1. Sun on May 7 - https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/details/9670614 I’m see May 1ish for Sea…

Which dealer are you with?

Seems they are catching up on some but too early to tell, for example my dealers 2nd order was missing and finally showed up at port last week. My Emira has been produced for 2 months and hasn’t been shipped yet as far as we know. I asked my dealer about this though and they said the more the...

Heard it before in this forum from others that they’ve shut the car off and next day it was working. Someone earlier on the forum in the UK claimed they had the AC issue and it was a harness issue that due to placement required 15 hours of labour and would have been an extremely costly job...

Beauty! So my buddy (not a car guy) claimed he saw a gorgeous green Lotus on the Gardner about 1-2 weeks ago. Assumed it was yours as the only DV delivered at Gentry (although could have been an Oakville one). Maybe he saw an Evora, or did you take it outside for PPF?

My understanding is unlike other manufacturers if you got a VIN the car is built. Same as you there have been VINs past mine - Canadian cars have been skipped intentionally. Not to delay Canadian cars but because I think they are shipping Canadian cars in their own batches. The last ship that...

Unintended click-bait!

Who here has their VIN or believes their Emira has been built, and has yet to take delivery? Any tips or suggestions from those who’ve taken delivery?

Unfortunately it’s completely random and Lotus hasn’t been delivering in any particular order relative to production. Another dealer in the US that’s delivered a lot of Emira’s hasn’t got their 1st build yet and my dealer hasn’t got their 2nd yet. Perhaps they will catch up at some point but...

Thanks! Have you checked the VIN list from Nova? My guess is that Atlantic Sun is the one - if it is or has been on the water and on anything else then it would have already arrived and be in that VIN list. *Atlantic Sea - I missed that one, reached New York yesterday…could be that too, will...

First we’ve heard of a ship hitting the water with Emira’s in awhile, rather than only finding out once it’s been unloaded in the US. Any idea when the ship left or is set to arrive so we can try to figure out which ship it is? Would be good to confirm if it’s Atlantic Sun which left Liverpool...

Thanks again @Time2Fly for organizing this! Count me in, just a matter of deciding between black or blue piping. And as @GrahamClark_60-68 mentioned I just wanted to think if the full set makes sense vs boot only. I’d often put golf clubs in the boot so a 1 off road trip I use everything may...

Hi everyone, I’ve decided to start this post as it seems I’m unable to find a solution to adding members to the message thread on PPF in GTA. This would be a good spot to carry on any discussion on that matter, as well as any delivery / Emira experiences, possible get togethers, mods etc...

Quick update, the 30 or so Canadian VINs that just arrived….6 of them are Gentry (all the ones that ones that were early orders that were “missing”). I was pretty sure of that based on the VIN sequences but now confirmed. Regarding the HVAC AC, yeah I asked and he said it’s pretty minor blower...

Good to hear a positive review on Calgary! Sorry to hear about the HVAC issue, would you mind sharing your VIN range? Curious if it’s in the 1000s or 2000s maybe some indication on whether they’ve fixed it at factory on later productions. Nova said the issue was found at his dealer during PDI...

I started a message thread on this but it doesn’t seem to let me add. Dealer PPF around 9K for full car. Edges are not wrapped and have sizeable gaps. Have found a couple good alternatives looking at 6-7 for full car and 9-10 with ceramic. Edges wrapped. PDI & Delivery has been reported 5K.

Incredible, enjoy! How did you manage to visit the factory with your car on the line? I heard a few ppl enquire but the dealers said they couldn’t get that info - assume you know someone or went the route of bypassing the dealer and contacting Lotus directly?

Interesting for sure. I guess with our climate and snow you’d really be compromising to drive this as a daily even with an auto. I ordered sport and no regrets, I plan to drive it, but only in the summer and mostly on weekends. I’m in Toronto which is one of worst cities in the world for...

Thanks @Nova still no luck 😔. Looks like they shipped the missing Canadian FE 1s.

Found their instagram you can see the materials a little better and same zipper on every bag they make. Zipper is nothing special but bags appear likely well made and would pay 2-3x up charge for a designer bag made to the same level. I was looking at the pics and was actually thinking for my...

Yeah, no gifts for Canadians. Don’t even want it unless it was the book and they didn’t have to send anything but what a pathetic company to send us an email with more lies - if they didn’t plan to then they either should now or at the least send an email apologizing for the mistake but nope...

I believe so, I could be wrong but I think someone earlier said Lotus Calgary was going to charge something like 7K (and Lotus Calgary has a bad reputation).

My experience with bags and I’m no expert is that if the quality is good and going to last it’s not going to cost less than Bespoke bags pricing. For a smallish bag of decent quality that will last you’re probably looking at min $100 and $200 if it’s real leather. I have no idea what the...

Maybe, maybe not - Canadians always get dinged….whoever is doing the transport may be charging more to ship to Canada even though Toronto, Oakville, & Montreal dealerships are within 10 hours of the port and comparable or less than many US destinations…

Where in Canada are you? Who told you May delivery? Could you elaborate? Lotus told Gentry about a month ago to expect a large shipment by end of month and it’s been crickets since then. As of yesterday they won’t tell the dealer whether or not there are Emira’s on the water so I’m wondering...

Sounds like someone reached out directly and bugged him and he got annoyed lol. FYI, I did the calculator for duty for those of us in Canada - there’s a specific category for luggage which comes out to 11% duty on top of the 13% HST.

Thanks again! I haven’t voted yet as I will wait to see the materials comp, absolutely no rush. My Emira has been at the hitting the water soon status for 6-weeks.

Build slots, I was given March build slot first week of September (at the time that was believed to be the last month, then they added April - and may have then added a “final” not necessarily May). My car ended up moving up to Feb build likely because 20% of order submissions were for autos.
