Don’t often hear “thank you Lotus” on the forum 👍🏻 ! I wonder why 🤷‍♂️🧐😉

Me too ! Think I might have just spotted my car ! 🤣

Seems like others have answered this ! My guess is it will be an insurance thing so no latitude from a legal perspective. 😞

How do you make sure your software is up to date ???

Hoping to pick mine up in next few weeks - is there a way if checking in the car menus what version of software the car has installed ? And what the latest is ? If so when picking up from factory or a dealer we can ask for latest to be added/updated ?

I’d like to say unbelievable….

Sobering indeed. What is the latest delivery estimate for you ?

This thread is bang on ! What a great read. I am still in and so hope that the wait is finally worth it. Still not seen one in the wild, but see loads of Caymans and 911s (including GT variants). No one bats an eye when I drive my Touring - I get more attention in the GR Yaris from a few in the...

We need someone who has their Emira and a Disklok to try it. I fear the Emira wheel will be too deep. I have a disklok and several stoplocks and am pretty certain the deeper stoplock is needed and will work as long as the hooks get around the think rim. But not as good as a disklok for sure...

Better not cancel the order now, VLX3 !!! You are all in 👍🏻

Google GTechniq Halo - new ceramic specifically designed to be applied on PPF. The main issue in the past (according to my detailed) was ceramic interacting with early PPF and making it go yellow with age or become brittle. Pretty much eliminated with latest PPF and ceramic’s like Halo. I have...

I have lost track - are you getting one now Tom ? I thought you were out ?

Tom, B&C have a Seneca Blue Emira that has a sign on it saying something like Showroom Car. As opposed to the 3 other cars that has Sold please don’t touch signs. The blue one in addition to the Nimbus demo that I drove last week.

And And deep pockets !

Which detailer, PPF and ceramic do you use ?

I think this has been mentioned before but I won’t go for factory PPF or ceramic coating. if I protect my Emira (probably will) I will get a specialist to do it. It’s definitely a tricky thing to get right and I have heard of poor results from lots of dealer or manufacturer supplied PPF...

Topaz are a detailing company who correct the paint (machine polish it) then apply the PPF. I had a car done at the original Topaz in West London. They have just bought Reep midlands and so expanding (other Reep operations still Reep). Xpel is one of the most popular brand names for PPF. Others...

Did the same. Sorted quickly and checkout done. Asked how long to pick up from Hethel and was told 2-3 weeks. 🤞

Manual

Having decided to go ahead I emailed CS and very promptly got a new checkout email. Link worked this time. All going well until got to a “Verify your Identity” page. The options were to “Start Again” or “Receive an email to your email address xxx”. I opted for the latter and the email didn’t...

Great post. Welcome. I only think people who are serious track junkies should worry about lap times. And there are better cars (including other Lotuses) for track junkies than a stock Emira including GT4s. I have a GR4 and am not at all surprised it’s quicker than a V6 FE round a track (it is...

I posted this in a different thread but i use these to shield the key from thieves using relay and to stop the key and car talking to each other when I don’t want them to. The phone one is better than the car key one as it is big enough for two large keys/fobs. Defender Signal Blocker - RFID...

Decision made. I am in and will keep the faith. ✊ In the end I asked myself the regret test - and reckon I would regret not going through and actually owning an Emira after the long journey we have all been on, than getting the car and deciding I had made a mistake. So I went to checkout...

The car I test drove last week at B&C had a storage net across the shelf behind the seats. Not an option so I assume this is now standard ?

Thanks Tom. Not what I was told but no huge surprise there !

I quite liked the daft music ! But preferred the exhaust sound - what a transformation ! Any idea on cost ?

Can I chuck in a recommendation for Reep detailing ? I have used the one near Reading but there are a few around. I’ll be getting a full PPF quote if I pull the trigger (and take the car).

Could you let me know how much Topaz quoted ? Was that xpel and ceramic ? Thx 🙏

Emotion, Thanks for the link to your video which I hadn’t seen - we have plenty of views in common for sure. Your commentary on the weird shaped steering wheel exactly where your hands go is spot on. I too have smallish hands and reckon it will actually be sore on a long journey. I haven’t...

Given how important this would be to many I wrote down what CS said verbatim and quoted it here. Is it possible that CS say different things to different people ? Bears woods and all that… I am glad my car won’t be subject to the price rise, but fully agree with others who say that long...

Is the same system that I was sent a link to regarding my test drive ? If so when I clicked the link there was nothing except a page saying “Nothing booked yet. Click here to book” 🥳

Fully agree !

FYI in my calls with Customer Service this week they said that my car/order (UK V6 manual) would not be affected by the price rise as the cut off was "whether a car was in production before the end of June" or not. I post that in case relevant to anyone.
