    Savage Geese review

    I finally got around to watching it and thought the review was fair. I was a bit surprised that they made no mention of the seats at all, positive or negative, even in the track segment. That's the kind of info you can't get just by looking at a photo or reading a spec sheet. From a driver...

    They are all painted exactly the same way. The bubbling issue relates to micro-fissures in the composite panel itself, not the paint. Which is why a respray is not an effective fix; the panel must be replaced entirely.

    Hoping the market agrees with you! If Russell Carr and his team depart for any other manufacturer, I'd be happy to buy whatever comes off their pens.

    It's actually a glass picture frame with a print inside: "Congratulations on your new Emira!" with the VIN and the owner's name in a script font. It's nicely done. (I'm not sentimental so I returned the frame)

    There was another DV that had already come off the truck as well. Inside, a shadow grey w/ red, and my magma/tan plus the yellow pictured.

    Thanks! Well we all know Dark Verdant is impossible to photograph, or so they told us. ;) I think magma/tan came out looking great, especially in the morning sunlight. I completely mistook the DV car inside for black. The Seneca/red car is their demo.

    I've noticed an increasing number of Camrys and Model Y's with "black pack roof". I suspect that trend has just about run its course at this point. Anecdotally, I've been seeing a lot of Camrys and Tesla MY's doing a "black pack" roof these days. Not sure what that says about the trend.

    It's probably something as simple as what order they were parked in the holding lot outside the factory.

    puddle lights?

    I replaced the standard lights on my other car with logo projectors, but then realized that because of the bevel of the door, they don't shoot straight down and the logo gets a little stretched. Something to check on the Lotus door is how parallel the light is to the ground. (or possibly I'm...

    Lotus introduces ‘Lotus Chapman Bespoke’

    Curious what's the burn rate on that Wuhan factory. They were projecting 150k total sales/yr across all models once up to full capacity, according to the SPAC docs. Selling 40 total in a month is beyond catastrophic.

    In defense of 1.0 flippers, if the cars had been delivered when promised (Nov 2022) nobody would bat an eye at seeing some for sale now 18 months later.
