Is it raining Emiras now? Congrats on the new customer deliveries 👏🏽

No worries, and it’s forgotten on my part. This particular YouTuber is one of the reasons I jumped on purchasing my Porsche when I did in 2020, and I’m glad I did… I got it for a steal, and could sell it right now for a profit if I wanted, but not planning on that. If I’ve sounded negative...

I’m here to learn and share data points and other tidbits of knowledge. Whether bad OR good. What is your deal? Are you a fanboy that doesn’t want to see flaws in what you purchased? I’m not that type of consumer. Did you watch the video? He talks about the U.S. market and the differences...

😮 Your particular car is lemon. I’d reject the car and cut your losses.

I’m gonna buy Toyota filters that cost a couple bucks. It’s going to do the job just fine. No need to buy a filter that costs $95 because it has a cool name attached to it and weighs 2 grams less imo… but hey, I must be cheap 🤷🏽‍♂️ 4 “lowest bidder” Costco batteries wouldn’t equal $900, so I...

This appears to be the case for you… 🤣

The Emira in our garage won’t be winning races with a lightweight car battery that shaves a few pounds from the trunk… I hate Costco, but… 🤣

Maybe we just purchase a brand new battery after delivery like someone else mentioned they did. As was said before, there is no telling how long these cars have been sitting in a lot, on a boat, in a factory, etc… those batteries in these cars are probably not in the best shape. It might be a...

Wow. People deserve vacations. Some of you need to sit down and grow up. In the end this is just a car (it will not save anyone’s life)… and people can only do so much. It is not every businesses goal to cater to every whim when they are clearly swamped. They are delivering cars. He shouldn’t...

People are absolutely losing their minds…

You going to tell everyone that doesn’t know any better you actually waited the whole 3 years? Seems a bit disingenuous. SHORTW8 fits better 🤣

Basically the only difference are the additional colors of the 2.0 (in North America). From what I understood there will be no more new FE allocations, but hey, Lotus changed those production numbers before, so… having a FE doesn’t seem as special anymore.

Neither is the car you have it attached to 🤣

An Oklahoma dealer collected and payed the sales tax, then registered my vehicle for me in Utah… and I don’t think the process has changed (at least for Utah). I purchased the car online, never saw it in person, they registered everything for me as part of the sale, then shipped the car to my...

+1 for this style… this is what I have in all my cars, and I’d recommend using them anytime you’re parking outdoors, no matter the season or cloud cover. People have asked me why I have mine up on a cloudy winter day (Utah). UV will destroy suppleness in leather and leave you with a hard candy...

When the dealer is registering the car for you as part of the sale, you would pay them the tax for the state in which the car will be registered even if it’s a different state. They pay that tax to your home state for registration. This has been true of any dealer purchased vehicle I’ve ever...

Are pops and burbles present? The video cuts off before they would be heard.

It was smaller than I expected, even though I knew the dimensions beforehand. It’s a very impressive car to be sure. I didn’t wring it out on the drive since it was busy city streets, but my wife did and she was grinning ear to ear after. The wait will be worth it if you’ve never seen or...

Opinions can vary… but I’d rather have both hands on the wheel as much as possible through the lateral Gs on canyon drives so the car stays on the pavement… whether I’m the driver or the passenger. That’s not arbitrary to me, that’s common sense, and I’d teach that to anyone learning under me...

One thing to keep in mind when learning stick… don’t keep your hand on the shift knob (like the guy in the vid) when you get more proficient. Shift, then hand back on the steering wheel. This knob is inches away from the wheel, so lightning fast shifts are still possible. Controlling the car...

I actually think this feature could be very useful. I’ve always thought Mexico drivers have it right when they put on their hazards for things in the road like speed bumps and hard braking… they are absolutely nuts in all other areas of driving, but the hazard lights are something I’ve tried to...

What in the world… 😐 The fonts not matching would bug TF outta me. So, are all newer delivery NA cars going to have ”Emira”? I’d prefer just the “Lotus” on the seats. Looks simple and classy.

Comparison is the thief of joy… I can understand the frustration, but

The Evora doesn’t have a nice interior, or even a decent interior imo. My wife would not have considered an Emira if it had an Evora interior… plain and simple. This car is designed to have a broader appeal, and has been marketed that way. The VAST majority will not be tracking their cars or...
