Thanks everyone! Picked it up yesterday and took it out for about an hour. So, so happy I got the Turbo. Will do a full front + rocker PPF in the next week or two, plan to do it before emptying the first tank. Here are my initial thoughts: 1. Oh the sound...the sound! I've always loved the...

With the weather in the northwest not seeming to end, I ended up having my Emira delivered to Boise...then the snow came! I was fortunate enough to see it yesterday for about 15 minutes between meetings, but then it snowed today, is supposed to snow tomorrow, then again over the weekend. I...

Have any of you thought about just having a local shop hydrodip yours? I obviously have a use for two, and via hydrodip the finish is guaranteed and you can choose various carbon fiber finishes. Yes, I know it is fake, but I would like some texture to the cover for the i4. Since it covers the...

I've thought about that over and over, but this is the first time in my life. I've ever bought a vehicle for fun. That experience I feel is very ceremonious, plus my 19-year-old son wants to do it with me, so we are excited to go through the experience of picking it up and driving off the lot. I...

This has since been resolved. I have progressive for all five of our current vehicles (we have three teenagers) and just checked last week and the Emira is now in their database. Will be adding her to the policy next Saturday when I pick her up. Can't wait!

I was going to pick up my i4 today in Seattle and drive it home to Boise, but forecast in Seattle was heavy rain, then snow between Seattle and Boise so figured I should delay it. New date for pickup is February 8th. My sales guy sent me some photos of her to hold me over...I think that just...

Seattle/Bellevue. It Will be ready by Wednesday this week but unfortunately with my work schedule I won't be able to make it over there for another 2 weeks after. Super frustrated, but at the same time I've been waiting for 2 and 1/2 years. So what's another two weeks. 🙂

I just tried and Progressive has the Emira in their system. It may be because we already have six cars and five drivers with them, and I live in Boise, but our policy only went up $300 for six months. Great news for me! By the way, my salesman sent me a teaser photo while it is in dealer...

I'll try them again. When I tried them about a month ago 'Lotus' wasn't even in their mfr drop-down.

My Emira is at the dealer and I am going to pick it up on the 7th. Can people share where they got insurance? I have Progressive for our current vehicles, but they don't list Lotus as a brand they insure. Love to hear who others have selected/use here in the USA.

Love this topic! I completely agree with the original post. As a Human Factors Engineer, I loathe today's vehicles. Simple tasks like changing the temp that took three seconds and zero eyesight to twist the knob in my 2000 Nissan Pathfinder, now take 13 clicks, an embedded touchscreen slide...

Why? What if I don't? If I do, how many feet do I need?

I am figuring the same or longer. Mine arrived in port on 12/19, but needs to get all the way to Seattle. I figure best case it will be available around the end of January.

Great Scott Batman! Paid my first deposit 12/12/2022 and FINALLY she is on the way! Thanks so much for all the work on this @Nova! Now I just need to sell my Mini to make room in the garage. 👍😂

4612 and 4614 were on the boat, but not my 4613. 😢 My dealer also pinged me today and said mine was on the last boat of the year, so apparently one more boat at the end of December. I wish I could understand why the one before and the one after mine made the boat...but not mine. On the other...

Me neither. 4613. My dealer told me it was still in the UK, looks like he was right. So I'm figuring I won't be stateside until early January, so delivery best case end of January. Bummer, not much great driving in February in Idaho, plus trying to get the car from Bellevue, WA to Boise can...

Indeed...keeping my fingers crossed that my salesman is wrong and that it is on the boat now... :) :)

4613. Crazy, as I finalized mine a year ago, and paid the initial deposit a year before that. Figured I would be earlier in the shipments...

Congrats to those that are seeing delivery! I just heard from my dealer in Seattle yesterday and they said mine is still sitting in the UK. Probably better, as I have two cars and a boat to sell before I'll have room inside for it....

Here is the link:

But mine is only the 2024...:cry:

That is great to hear! I am 4613, so hoping mine is on there with you. However I am in Seattle so about as far from Baltimore as possible. I figure I won't see it until mid January at best...

Looking forward to that VIN shipping update from @DigDugLotus, hopefully my 4613 is on there!

Dang that looks good! I like the color-matched roof so much better than black. And those wheels look perfect with that color. Nice choice.

Hoping mine is the same as my dealer advised that it is 'on the next boat.' They are teasing me saying it will be ready for pickup late January/early February, which for me in Southern Idaho basically means it will sit until April... :(

This sure does smell like a class action lawsuit for Lotus on the horizon...

I just found this article by Car and Driver, interesting that they say the 2.0 is 'new for 2025'. So it sounds like our i4s will be 2025 models? Although odd that they call the 'SE' only available in select markets...

Yes, Seattle.

Just got this msg from my dealer today. So close!! "Your car should arrive at the end of December or beginning of January at the port. It will take another couple of weeks before it gets here. Our estimated time to get it here will be mid January at best."
