Hey, for those that want a good available oil in USA that meets the MB229.71 spec…. The Mobil 1 ESP X2 0w-20. *** (Have to make sure it’s the X2)***

Yes… mine did come with a Lotus branded battery tender.

When I pick mine up 2 weeks ago….. there were no outstanding recalls or updates. Definitely check the side mirror retract feature. My passenger door mirror won’t retract. (From pre-dealership transport most likely forcing the mirror manually). Other than that….. almost a 1000 miles on it...

My driver side will open and close, the passenger only twitches and remains open. I am sure it’s just off track. I will try to get it back on track later this week, if not, one of the items the service guys will have to fix.

Yep…. My passenger side doesn’t retract. Definitely from transport manually forcing them to retracted position. Just something that the dealer will have to fix at the first service. I just leave them open till then.

An issue with my new Emira I4 and likely many others have the similar problem: One or both mirrors not retracting or functioning. To retract the side mirrors, you press both mirror buttons on driver side door. This should open or retract both mirrors. The problem is that most transport...

It prevents the plastic edge from digging into the side of the leather when sitting. Literally took 5 minutes to place. Definitely don’t need adhesive one , but I am sure it would work too. I ordered the 10ft roll. I used about 5 feet I think. I will repost the one I used.

Also, don’t forget this little trick for the seats…. Will save them from getting worn/cut.

Hey, don’t forget to do this to your seats…. It went on easy and works great.

Hey… down in Myrtle Beach. Picked up my car last week and just had PPF’ed at Sigma KORE. They did a great job. Any other Lotus owners in the Myrtle Beach area or somewhat near?

Only have heard great things about Gator 🐊. Props to dealers like him, Lotus of Pittsburgh, and Cape Fear Lotus. All I heard have been pro-customer and informative during this process.

Hey, watch the video by Ed Bolian about trailering/shipping your car. It opened my eyes about how thieves work in the shipping of high end cars. Just make sure you use a shipping company that the dealer has used or you have done your homework on. Many times your shipping order will be posted...

Toonfan…. Does it exceed my expectations…?... Absolutely! It’s a blast to drive. The acceleration is better than I imagined. Even the sound of the engine and the turbo whistle adds to the experience while driving. I didn’t think I would enjoy it as much as I do. I crack the driver window...

My car looked like it was mist white by the time I drove it from Pittsburgh to SC. Water, a hose and gentle bath is all it needed. And btw, the turbo whistle and then the blow off…. Is incredible. Actually sounds like a small turbine spooling up. It’s musical 🎶

Drove my back in 15 degree snow storm. Don’t necessarily recommend that…. But it did well. Just washed her off the next day.

Here are some other colors that caught my eye at the dealship. All beautiful builds. As I said before in my last post, I typically don’t like the zinc type colors…. This one is the nicest of those I have seen. Kudos to those with that spec. And the black….. looks incredible too. Only one...

Well, the day arrived and of course almost whiteout snow conditions! But I bought the car to drive. Once off the side roads, snow was mostly melted. Car is insane. The turbo whistle and blow off is music 🎶. Cars traction control which I did have the chance to test on the snowy roads, was...

The 3.4 sec 0-60 is what the Chinese were posting…. But never would see that number posted anywhere else. Impressive to say the least. The torque is what you feel…..

Update! Just arrived this morning. Vivid red, black pack, red calipers, red interior…. Why not? 😂. Oh yeah. 400hp

Lotus of Pittsburg still hasn’t gotten the cars from the 12/9 ship. Think they have 11 cars going to them. Anyone else here have Pittsburg as their dealer? Scott has been great to work with. Definitely recommend them.

Yep…. Drove right by my dealership. 😑 But happy they are getting out!

That is awesome!! What dealer? They likely had to drive past my dealer to get to the Columbus and the other dealerships this week. 😂. The pain….. lol

Just seems like every dealer does it a little differently. I mean, they have to know the VIN’s of the cars incoming. But regardless, knowing the VIN doesn’t change the wait. Mine arrived in the 9th, but still not at dealer. Hopefully soon. I do think the wait will be worth it for the AMG...
