Did you get to test drive a sport? The test drive I did in 2022 was a sport chassis, it was only 20 mins and downtown on city roads full of pot holes and speed bumps. It wasn’t a good test for the car but what I found crazy was how it handled the bumps more smoothly than my E-Class Cabriolet...

I’m quite surprised at that especially in the manual, would have guessed more like 75% sport.

We do and 99.99% of us think it’s the dumbest thing ever…it is kind of silly that 0.01% have the ability to make everyone else suffer. It’s insane how much it costs to have this requirement and need fonts squeezed so ppl can’t read food and drug labels for something totally useless. Will leave...

As per usual I bet the only difference is the CA versions include a required French language version of the pamphlets in the glovebox 🤣 (which prevents a lot of US products being available in Canada when everybody here speaks English). Although seriously I do wonder if there could be a slight...

C & D is sport vs. Touring right? How can you tell they’re CDN? This could be the 60ish FE 1.0s that Canada got which were set to ship when Canada got the EPA approval about 2 weeks ago… They’re expected to reach the dealership end of next week so makes sense…

Yes if the dealer are the one doing it 100%. I think what’s typical is a new car coming like this where half the customers want it - they coordinate with a PPF ceramic shop that’s reputable and provides warranty as a bundle and can work out a deal and maybe small profit for the dealer as well...

What a difference, I just made a wager with a buddy who’s got a GT4 RS on the water. He’s got a website with full tracking showing where the car is on the map in the water, expected at shore…where it’s been along the way…a full timeline including a photo gallery while it was in production with...

I saw the official sheet from Lotus at my dealer showing that it’s ”locked” 3 weeks ago…it’s either on the line, sitting in a parking lot in the UK, or on a boat 🤷‍♂️. Good enough for me! 😂 Dealership told me they’d get VIN when it’s put on the boat so I assume not that, but clearly “soon”.

That looks great! But clearly a render, they will do an event to unveil it. I’m thinking this could do the 134 at this year’s Goodwood and the EV in 2025.

To celebrate I’ve finally gone and ordered my plate that I’ve eyed for the past 2.5 years risking someone else might order it, no more beating around the bush! I guess I’ll have a spare since I’m also going to try my luck keeping her nose clean :).

My dealership in Toronto has had a white one for quite some time, I like it a lot! They brought it to the auto show that just wrapped up as well.

in the demo I drove in Canada (which came from Michigan), you had to lift it to put it into R. Have they changed this?

V6 or i4? From the letter someone got from Lotus today it sounds like it may happen if you’re among the first on the V6…they’re saying end of year for the i4 so I wouldn’t hold my breath on that one. You should hopefully get 2 solid months if it comes by Sept 1.

That will be great! I turned 40 last June and the original timeline was basically where we are now but a year sooner. So for the first 2 years I was hoping it would arrive by 40 LOL, seems a lot more real though at the moment :).

Was out in a t-shirt in Toronto today! Temps above zero the next 2 weeks so unlikely anything more than a light flurry…can always get a snowfall in March though. First would have to be Montreal, Oakville, or Gentry(Toronto). Gentry is defenitly expecting cars end of this month. Was told they...

They probably didn’t expect it to pass 🤣 (internally).

Hmm, perhaps but I seem to remember it always being in the 500s. I was a car audio guy decades ago so the power rating is always to be taken with a grain of salt as more power means more headroom but a top tier 500W amp could also blow away some cheapie 1200W claimed amp. The one thing I’ve...

I thought it was always believed to be 560w…what was the alternative speculation?

LEGEND!

Pics or didn’t happen! 🥳 Can you confirm if the manual in the glovebox folder is the full version?

A glass half empty person will say the 10K they gave Lotus 3 years ago could be worth 12K today with interest and then bought one of these like 911.Xray. A glass half full person will say they would have put the 10K in shares of GEELY/LOT and lost 8K.

Yup, same can be said for those who put a deposit in on launch day and didn’t get a FE 1 based on dealer allocations vs. some who found a new lesser dealer in September or even later in 2021 and got a FE 1. Given there’s no difference in the cars, the appropriate thing would have been for them...

As a Canadian from Toronto with a cottage in Pinehurst, NC (next trip flying to Raleigh April 1,, then road tripping there in May), I have major FOMO right now! My Emira is either in still in production or on the most recent boat…but my eyes will be wide open for EMIRAs when I head down there...

Thanks again for doing this! Haven’t heard back from my dealer yet to know if they’d be given or available in Canada. Just wondering if anyone knows whether the manual version is applicable to Canada/US, I know it’s the same car just not sure if the software could be different. I have a US...

I just did some upgrades to my simple sim rig, added a fanatec shifter and a GT seat, the bolstering is bit snug…I’m going CARB free until my Emira arrives.

What tint did you get done? Looks NICE. I’ll be in NC in 4 weeks, going to be on Emira lookout!

Awesome thank you! I’m just going to confirm with my dealer as the manual situation could be different in Canada - if not I’m in.

Not new - the second configurator you’re looking at showing that has been out for close to a year. It’s just random which website version takes you to which (you could always google to find the newer one) and maybe they’re correcting the links to all take you to the new one now…a year later 🤣...

I’m fairly certain alcantara wheel was always extra, not the seats.

SERENITY NOW! April Fool’s Day is…soon.

Dealerships can take deposits to get a place in line before the unveiling. I heard my dealership had 10ish before the unveiling which turned out to be what you had to do to get one of their dozen V1 allocations. I ended up doing this with the Eletre, I have my deposit before they showed it -...

Not sure if this is a troll 🤣. Deposit July 21 Got the call to spec my build for FE V2 September 23 On last check in 2 weeks ago, build is locked implying it was in production

Very cool! I’m in Toronto and have a cottage and golf membership in Pinehurst NC. I happen to have just arranged a trip down there for my dad’s 70th May 19-26th (the final week before they shut No. 2 for the US Open so grandstands will be up etc). My dad loves the idea of road tripping down...

This sounds about right to me, my dealer also said VIN likely when it’s put on ship and I’m not aware of anyone in Canada getting their VIN.
