Are there? I've heard of some poorly fitted window seals on the earlier cars but haven't heard of "many reports of windows leaking". You've canceled your order and purchased a Porsche. Fine, that's a totally valid choice. But why do you keep coming back to this forum (9 posts) to tell us...

Only because a very clear and specific promise was made. I think that without that pledge, people would have grumbled but understood that costs had gone up. But what's the point of making a promise if you're not going to keep it?

How quickly we forget! Lotus UK was hit by a perfect storm of reasons for a delay: COVID, then Brexit, then the global labour shortage, then the Ukraine war. And just when things were improving, China went into a massive lockdown hitting the supply chain. With hindsight, could Lotus have...

Isn't the rust on the green Emira's rotors just normal surface rust from washing the car? Surface rust can appear on a rotor within a few minutes and just gets scrubbed away when you next drive the car. Some detailers take the car for a 30-second drive after washing, and hit the brakes a...

Tesla started taking pre-orders for the Roadster in 2017 with a US$50,000 deposit . . . still hasn't delivered a single car. Aston Martin Valkyrie and the Mercedes AMG One were sold out in 2017, with many still not delivered. In fact, AMG only delivered the first car to a customer last month.

You certainly shouldn't be waiting a month for an appointment at a dealer, that's completely unacceptable for a brand-new car. They should have had it in the shop immediately.

True, does feel that way. But the transmission (gearbox, clutch, cable, etc) is well-proven in this car, so I suspect this particular failure falls into the "bad luck" category rather than pointing to some larger systemic problem

Interesting. Almost certainly a clutch issue, given that the gears are brand new. Let's hope someone didn't fail to properly fill the transmission fluid!

No. It's more of a true tan in real life. It often seems to photograph very orange

Spot on. I think it's a pretty safe bet that the UK ends up pushing back its 2030 sales ban. Even ignoring the issues around lithium and cobalt availability, the world just isn't rolling out charging infrastructure quickly enough. Depending on which numbers you believe, about 30% of UK cars...

Seats are such a personal thing though. Harry drove his car over 2,000 miles in a few days with no issues.

1. How would the insurer even know it had been replaced? 2. The glass now matches the spec the car was sold with. It is not different or modified. 3. It was done by the manufacturer. 4. It's a standard Lotus window.

Looks sensational!

Dealers are definitely having challenges with the reflash of the ECU. According to my dealer, the reflash is coded to the VIN of each vehicle which means they have to re-download the update software for every single vehicle. Apparently, this can take 3hrs+ per vehicle. If there is any issue...
