    USA/Canada Delivery Thread

    I placed a deposit 0ct 3 2022 in Toronto and have only heard crickets since. I've called twice to keep in touch with Dealership and still no news. I'm around #160 on wait list. Didn't get an invite for test drive even. I happened to see one available for a test drive near Detroit MI about 6...

    With EVs I see the Aircraft emission numbers skyrocketing to 20% as people won't drive an electric long distances like they would an ICE for long trips..say cross country etc.

    There would be no reason why they couldn't build both auto and manual at the same time. Other manufacturers do it without any problems. Actually they would build any variant they wanted, since they are flex lines. I don't understand why people think Lotus is only capable of doing one thing at...

    Emira looks

    First World Problems. 🌎 99% love the new Emira. It doesn't matter what Lotus designed .. there will always be that 1% to complain about something. I'm buying it because it ticks off almost all my boxes. Finally someone made a sports car that has supercar looks and is more attainable. I've been...

    USA & Canada pricing

    When I put my deposit in Oct 2022 it was advertised as $119k. Now $129k. I could barely afford $119k. If the price goes up again, I'l have to cancel. And I say if you put a deposit down then they should honour the price of the deposit date. Every dealership I've conducted business with in the...

    Lotus to cut 200 jobs as a result of disappointing 2022 sales and £145m losses

    It says its moving to electric only production. Building electric takes much less labor. I don't think this means a reduction in emira production untill they stop building them completely in the next several years moving to all electric.

    3 Questions for Emira owners with PPF

    1. Will be getting nothing. 2. Saved $10k plus 3. No regrets. I've never put ppf on any of my previous cars. I think I only had 1 stone chip ever and I had it touched up. 99% couldn't see it at all. I had to find it and be about 2 inches away to even notice it a bit. Just touch it up with paint...

    So you placed a deposit 1 month before me and we get totally opposite time lines and outcomes.. frustrating I get zero updates or information on timelines.

    Carbon Fiber Diffuser Surround by Aerie Performance

    Sure i agree. But how much weight are you saving if you replace every conceivable part? 25lbs 50lbs.? I'm sure you guys put out an amazing quality product. Just not for my daily driver needs... i wouldn't benefit much on public roads. maybe if I tracked it. No disrespect meant.

    Carbon Fiber Diffuser Surround by Aerie Performance

    Silly me but I prefer leaving it Gloss Black or Black. I'm not into this latest carbon fiber Fad. Only a cosmetic value really. Like people have nothing better to do with their money. Let's put $10k in carbon fiber replacement's on a new car. I'd rather spend it on performance if anything.

    Canadian Emira preorders build, delivery dates, & updates thread

    I put a deposit down Oct 2022 and it's been crickets. Absolutely ZERO communication from Lotus or my Dealer Gentry. But going from Intel from this group I think I still have another 1yr wait. I may try call them for an update.

    Canadian Allocations

    I've seem some dealers in past try and charge a "documentation" fee around $400 to $800.. I would just refuse it and threaten "no deal" and they would concede. It's basically an ADM they are trying to sneak in mostly. I don't see how much leverage and success Emira buyers will have. The $129k...
