Look at Nova’s profile (cartoon Tiger avatar) and tap on his About > Signature, within his profile information. He has a comprehensive spreadsheet listing all VINs and their status (if they were loaded on a boat).

Ahh. Gotcha. Well, I don’t know of any battery operated washers since that’s not what I shopped for, but if you’re open to a plug in look into: The Active 2.0 It’s very compact, you can buy it in a kit, or if you’d like to buy your own gun/hose/foam canon to personalize it you can just buy the...

Sure… this is what I have and is a newer product than the one below. https://a.co/d/fFxxYPl This one is its daddy (been on the market longer), but more expensive. https://a.co/d/aamYbEc In testing reviews the newer one I have above does just about the same in performance and is less...

A hose with a regular spray attachment is more than adequate if you’re hand washing with manual agitation. A pressure washer is just easier to push all the dirt and grime off the paint once it’s loosened, AND it’s very useful in conjunction with foam canons to get shaving cream consistency foam...

I’ve made my wife fully aware of the issues I’ve read about on these forums since finding this website a few weeks ago, and she’s still ALL in. I’ve also asked her multiple times in the last 2.5 years if she’s wanted to pull the deposit and go with something else, but she’s been immovable. It...

In the other thread people are celebrating their Emiras entering port in the hundreds… … I’m honestly hoping my wife’s allocation isn’t built yet. The longer the factory has to dial in all the problems reported with electrical gremlins and this paint blistering in all these different threads...

Thanks 🙂 Those are rubber wheel chocks. lol No children to maim… Yeah, that Ego leaf blower on the wall with the stubby nozzle is just for car drying. Nothing else. With a ceramic coating and that little bazooka I don’t need to dry with towels anymore. The water just beads and shoots right...

Interesting buy… just connects to a garden hose 🤔 I’m really into this sort of thing and I think this could be a great thread. Obsessed Garage has a lot of VERY in depth pressure washer reviews on his YouTube channel. He’s a nut for anything garage related if you’re interested in building a...

Sorry to hear… it’s a long wait and I’m sure there are lots of life changes affecting people with this purchase. Btw… the type of wheels are not listed. Other than that, sounds like an attractive spec. GLWS

I don’t know if this poll will be of much use until North American owners have been driving their cars around for the next year or so. Their issues (if any) won’t pop up until then. The participants of this poll are appreciated, but it’s a very small number reporting the issue in comparison to...

😂 Well, shit… I think we can all agree on one thing. Lotus is an inconsistent mess.

It sounds like they did lie to you, but many dealers from different brands charge over the sticker price… especially if you were not the original name on the allocation. Call a Porsche dealer and try to buy an GT car sitting in their showroom and you’ll see that sticker doesn’t mean much. The...

I believe another physical way of recognizing an original color V1 shadow gray Emira from a V2 shadow gray Emira is the stowage net located in the passenger footwell. The V1 is not supposed to have the net. The joke about it being a 10k upgraded bottle holder had roots in that differentiation...

We were told the submission form was Lotus’ “portal”… specifically because the portal was down for several hours and they could not make entries. The verbiage at the top of the form suggests Lotus is giving the dealers instructions on how to submit the allocations… and actually cites cause to...

@KCMO68_510 I think it’s funny you reference an article from Autoblog to argue against an official Lotus press release and an official Lotus build form. They are not Lotus. I do concede that the V1 and V2 are most likely internal designations. Much like the Porsche 991.1 and 991.2 models...

Also this in case you missed it previously: https://www.lotusnewlondon.com/Lotus-Emira-FE-V2

Agree to disagree. I think at this point you’re back pedaling… you initially said “it’s literally not a thing” and that Lotus enthusiasts made it up to distinguish between the two. That is clearly not accurate and you’ve been shown one of many official Lotus press releases as well as an...

Interesting 🤔 Thank you for clarifying… I would think it would be on the bill of sale somewhere and/or the sticker. Not necessarily on the title or registration though. My Porsche title only specifies the model, the special designation of the model is nowhere on the title or registration. Edit...

Are YOU sure you don’t have the original FE 1.0. Serious question…. What’s your spec?

My guy, you have been provided official press releases, and a copy of a build order form. You said Lotus enthusiasts made it up. That was incorrect. I can give you a slice of humble pie, but you’d probably say it was cake, not pie.

Here’s a snap of the official “Lotus Emira Order Entry” for those of you believing otherwise.

Version 2.0 is a real thing. It’s on my wife’s spec paperwork she was sent confirming her locked build.

I guarantee what the OP was told was just verbal. I highly doubt they will have any paperwork stating it was a 2.0. That dealer is probably in the business of dishonesty, and it’s likely just another day another markup. It’s better to be aware of their practices, so thanks to @Emirahouston for...

I think you could have waited/demanded the sticker… but even if they provided it, they had no obligation to sell it to you at the original sticker. You had no contract with them like a lot of people on this forum do. So, that car could have slipped through your fingers to the next person willing...

Slimy… but you should have done your full due diligence before the purchase imo. Supply and demand dictates pricing for buyers such as yourself that did not have an allocation with a down payment as intent to buy, like many of us still do. You paid a premium to jump the line, and you were...

“Aggressively washed”… 🤔 Well I have a nice Comet pressure washer hanging on my wall, so I hope I’ll be able to wash the damned thing without it getting pissy with me… if not I guess I’ll get the buckets out and rub her down by hand. … she better act right if I do though.

Everyone has their own opinions, and his opinions don’t ruffle my feathers too much🤷🏽‍♂️ What I do find a bit strange is that he is a gay man with a “husband”, and he’s alluding to closeted homosexuality being one of the reasons why “mostly men” love driving a stick… and citing Sigmund Freud...

I wonder if it’s possible you got someone’s returnsy… at least the side skirts portion. They could have cannibalized parts from a customer return while building yours. The PPF we were offered came in house directly from the dealer shop. Not from Lotus.

It felt like a gated shifter to me. Precise, no slop, with a metal on metal sensation and a sort of *thwick* sound. Definitely better feeling shifter than Porsche (and I really love that Porsche stick). The description of a rifle bolt would fit as well, but I’m not a gun person, so my mind...

No kidding… I read some of the horror stories and it makes me think twice about what this car will be when it finally shows up. Will my wife receive a winner or a lemon? … and how will I deal with her deep disappointment if it ends up being the latter? I do realize negative aspects of ANY...

I’m wondering at what point and how many vehicles must be affected before there’s some sort of class action lawsuit, with not just this paint defect, but other things as well. I really hope this specific paint problem is in the minority and not a larger insidious problem that will plague...

*dusts self off and fixes shirt* Hey!! 😭 😂

I think we can have a discussion about the bridge collapse as a tragedy, as well as how it will affect the surrounding area, economic impact, and how they can proceed forward. I’m sure we’re all horrified if you tapped on that video.
