I fear you may be right. It’s not my incompetence or technique so by getting used to it it will be more like grin and bear it ! Will be interesting if others find the same or whether it varies between cars.

A few more days in. Some thoughts; Still loving the overall driver engagement of the car. This includes the way it looks. The theatre of starting it and having the engine just behind your head. Still please with DV/Tan. Looks lovely. It is definitely dark, especially from a distance, but it...

Good this thread popped up again. Rev hang is very noticeable in my Emira (picked up Thurs last week). I have only done a few trips beyond the drive back to Bucks from Hethel but the rev hang is really noticeable. I will let things bed in and focus hard on my gear changes. But before anyone...

FYI the Nimbus Tour is Scott’s car. He has had that for a while but I don’t know what mileage.

Agree Lotus press and website should not sell under false pretences. Naughty. But doesn’t look so bad in reality

Had to use wide angle on iPhone to get it all in from close up. They really don’t look as bad IRL.

To confirm that the only Apple Car play info that you can get on the central display behind the steering wheel is album artwork and track data. Tried all sorts and the only nav info on that screen is from the car Sat nav.

Bit delayed posting this but I asked Scott about ride height when picking up from Hethel last week. He said he had been assured by Gavin that there was no difference between Sport and Touring. I took along a tape measure and measured cars that I could get close to. 3 of them I knew the...

Sorry ! Hadn’t actually seen the vid and obvs not your UK plate !

Can you let me know how much they both cost ? Thx !

Fully agree they should do this better ! Not rushing into anything but I don’t think it’s coated. Now thinking of using silver polish…but better to think than rush in !

I looked but couldn’t get close to the many cars parked outside and as I said most of those were right hand drive anyway. Pretty sure there were no US cars in the factory itself. And no i4s. BUT health warning - I didn’t get close and may have missed some.

Think it is @Cooper ! He collected his Seneca Blur car from Hethel same day as me (13th) and was headed to the Ring

Hope your trip went well ! Let me know where I can find your story ! As we discussed at the factory, the Emira looks great in all FE colours 👍🏻 Look forward to hearing your thoughts on your Emira.

Couple of things to add; Handover and factory tour excellent Car good except had a defect in paint on bonnet - Lotus jumped on it and replaced it. Only possible at factory I guess ! Lots of cars in car park. I would say 50-70% had 12 o clock markers and so based on what @TomE has said they...

And second post; Another bit of data from my notes - target for Gold shift 15 cars. Target for Black shift 19 cars. That fits with @Drlonline data.

I posted some data from my factory pick up on another thread last week. Copied again here for ease of reference; Data I gleaned on production numbers from factory tour today. No photos allowed so from careful observation and making a few notes; At 11am the big screens were counting down the...

Great to hear your thoughts from a fellow DV owner. Interesting you had a bunch of software updates - I am still keen to understand if you can look on the car menus to see what software version the car has installed (like you could on a phone or pc). I’ll have a dig around. The M5 is a serious...

Yes handover went well. See updates on my new thread Manual DV collected from Hethel (sorry, I don’t know how to insert a link). I did remember one additional bit of detail regarding the rows of mainly right hand drive cars parked outside the factory - many had coloured 12 o clock markers on...

Photos of the underside - pretty flat aluminum panels with a LOT of bolts. Hope they are not the corroding kind.

On the fast wiper point - I was told the same thing (don’t use auto just go straight to speed one and then two) but it doesn’t work. On my drive home from pick up in torrential showers there was no way to get the wipers into high speed and I never went anywhere near Auto. See wiper thread.

In addition to the £50 voucher you get on the factory tour you also get 10% off in the shop if collecting a car. So my indoor car cover ended up at £309 (from memory)
