I reached out to my dealer. He said he is still expecting my car in Q2 '24 so doesn't feel like anything has really changed with respect to my order. Since Lotus is saying mid-'24 for auto certification that seems a little optimistic, but I guess we will see.

Early on the 2.0 list with an order submitted that I was told was April-June delivery. So that obviously isn't happening anymore considering I ordered an auto. It would be nice for some communication from them letting me know that.

I'm at the same dealer and did not receive anything. You would think if they were going to send something out they would send it to all of us.

They won't have a single car delivered to a customer until at least February - that doesn't fulfill any end of year delivery promise. Do they really think it counts that they are putting cars on dealer lots that cannot be sold to an actual customer? Not to mention those of us who ordered an...

Why automatics? If true I’m out. I can no longer daily a manual for medical reasons and I’m not waiting another year.

I suspect just because they feel it is easier to run the cable into the trunk than into the cabin of the car? I am considering mounting one of these somewhere in the boot (assuming we ever get the car in the US). I'd rather have an outlet like this to plug into than a cable dangling around in...

I have always found myself in the position of having heavily modified cars that were pre-1970's, or newer unmodified cars. For those that have experience with modified post-1975 cars in California, how do you deal with things like smog checks? Do you undo/redo the mods every time you need a smog...

It's because these are basically a toupee for your mirrors. They will never look like an actual carbon fiber mirror. Someone needs to make a proper replacement mirror housing out of carbon fiber.

I wasn't asked for any additional money at the time I provided my final 2.0 config, and my original deposit is still refundable if I walk away before accepting delivery.

I happened to be on the phone with my insurance company this morning anyway (Wawanesa - they only service California and Oregon), so I asked for an estimate of what adding the Emira to my existing policy would be. I know there are a lot of variables that come into play (zip code, age, driving...

I don’t disagree with anything you’re saying. I’ve been a part of this shitshow all along, and I think their customer service approach overall has been terrible. But at this stage if I were them I would keep my mouth shut too and focus on just trying to deliver under whatever constraints I am...

I believe there is some truth to this. I work in a different industry, but one with a bigger public fan base to cater to. And sometimes it’s better to say nothing at all, and just stay the course to focus on doing what you can to get things done. No matter what you say you are going to make...

Deposit in Nov ‘21. Submitted final spec in August ‘23 for (theoretical) April - June ‘24 delivery.

Same here.

I have been considering doing full Xpel Stealth PPF on my Hethel Yellow / full black pack Emira when I get it. I'm on the fence though. I would love to see one done before committing to it, but that may not be possible. I've always quite liked the frozen/stealth look on other cars when I see it.

Yes, I have it in an email from them. I have also done two test drives with them and confirmed it verbally both times. I know others have posted negative experiences with Galpin here, but my overall experience has been good so far. They haven’t been as communicative or proactive as Gator, but...

Also Galpin, no markup, FE 2.0 V6.

I do use parking mode. I believe parking mode support varies according to the dashcam you are using. For BlackVue, it supports a choice of either motion detection or timelapse modes. You can use the car battery, and I believe there is logic to cut off at a minimum charge, but I can't speak...

I have this in two of my cars. I have also had Thinkware in the past. Dashcams and their software in general seem a little kludgy by modern device and software standards. What is important is the sensor it uses and the resulting image quality. Once the new toy feeling wears off and you get the...

Re: wheels. Just a personal taste, as is everything when spec'ing a car. I actually waffled back and forth a lot over wheel choice. They are all great and you really can't go wrong with any of them, but ultimately there was something that just resonated with me putting the silver wheels on.

After owning 7 different BMW M and AMG models in recent years, all in various shades of silvers and greys, my initial inclination was to go with Shadow Grey or Nimbus. But I decided to go in a completely different direction with my Emira: V6 auto Hethel Yellow Full black pack Silver wheels...

@kitkat I too am curious - where are you getting those pages from? Is there a service manual available somewhere for download?

Your post just reinforces my despair with all of this. As I said, I have no idea where I am in the queue, they haven’t asked for any order details or additional money, and I never got any communication regarding FE2. I only know about FE2 based on what I have read on this forum.

Galpin took a $2500 refundable deposit from me in Nov ‘21 and I have hardly heard a peep from them since. I have received 3 generic updates that really didn’t say anything and an invite to test drive the demo they briefly had (which I attended). They haven’t asked me for any additional money or...

Some general info on the company history, assets, etc. can be found on wikipedia and their website. I should have mentioned that they are a Canadian company and only offer US policies in California and Oregon. My personal experience with them over the past 20+ years has been positive. During...

I'm in SoCal. Even if you don't get an Emira, I would recommend looking into Wawanesa for insurance. I have been with them for 20+ years and have never found anyone that can beat their rates. My F80 M3 is costing me 1340/yr as a daily driver, not as a second car. Really good coverage, I am not...

Interesting. I have a deposit at Galpin and haven’t received any communication like this. The last thing I got from them was a much more generic “thanks for your patience while we work out the details” update late in January.
