If I get mine in November 2023, it'll be the best birthday present ever.

Oof, these are pretty. I love a nice gunmetal/satin finish.

I must confess this is definitely a first for me - having to wait this long for a car. I have to remind myself that the wait isn't weeks or months,.......but YEARS. But other than preoccupying myself with work, girlfriend (of whom I am proposing to this year), family, friends, travel, and my M2...

HETHEL YELLOW!? with DARK VERDANT!? Thanks for sharing!

Can I just say that sometimes I'll randomly just yell DARK VERDANT!? to which my girlfriend is now concerned about my well-being and mental state. Thanks, guys.

Yellow choosers?! No sir, we are HETHEL YELLOW!? connoisseurs; just as you, my friend, are a NIMBUS!? connoisseur.

I know we joke a lot about this (and all in good fun), but man alive, can you imagine if every single one of us ended up being salty on delivery day from simply being fed up with waiting YEARS. :ROFLMAO: Like imagine Day 1, first drive EVER, car is AMAZING, but mood is slightly ruined from just...

10 weeks? PSSSSH, amateur. ;) I've been waiting for................10 months so far.

LOL, I liked the inclusion of "....maybe".

How upset would everyone be if Lotus basically just canceled the Emira, stated "it was just too challenging", and kept everyone's deposits.

I rather have an Emira. 👍 And I absolutely loathe the practice of ADM. The whole Manufacturers vs Dealerships thing is like China vs Taiwan. Lots of threats, lots of shouting, nothing happens.

I actually just got a call from my local dealer about putting down a deposit for a new Z06. I politely declined.

Wait, what's this about "bubbling rear vent surrounds?" I must've missed that one.

Yes. Soon.

I actually think the biggest gem of 911 is the 991.2 Carrera T. To me, that is far more rare (and interesting) than any GT3.

Honestly if I really just wanted fun on a track - I'd just get a Caterham Superlight R500 and smoke every single Porsche on the field. :ROFLMAO: Keep my Emira as the weekend cruiser, and then my daily beater SUV for grocery runs. I'm in the weird camp where you have 1 purpose built vehicle...

I used to lurk in the GT3 section and I have never witnessed a more entitled bunch of babies. I found it hilarious that they have "spec discrimination", aka, the more "rare" a spec, the better you are. If you show up in a base 911, you're a pleb. I mean, I'm a car enthusiast but I don't for a...

Rennlist are barely fans of themselves. I've never seen a more toxic community. They probably do bad reviews of their own families.

Are you expecting delivery in 2025.

I feel LOTUS should tackle all of their issues from an IT Agile perspective. 1.) Get a Senior Business Analyst to figure out what all the problems are, identify what are short-term issues, long-term issues, and impossible issues, create tickets for it in JIRA, then work with the appropriate...

I've been tracking my Emira since my initial deposit in November 2021. /s

Why does he sound like Shmee, lol.

You know.......I'm starting to not feel too bad about Lotus "taking their time" at this point. :ROFLMAO: Use this time to fix all the early teething problems so when I get mine delivered, I won't need to deal with any of it. But to give some folks here some peace of mind - this really isn't a...

My guess is the June 2021 prototype has a hood that was not made to open. Literally welded shut. As we get closer to production versions where the hood will need the ability to be opened, the inevitable gap must exist to achieve that requirement. It's the only logical explanation.

What are "calls"?

I have! I tell them I have new buddies in the UK who are ALL getting their FE's soon!

When I ordered my 2020 M2 Competition in mid 2019, it took only 6 months from order to delivery with constant communication from my dealer/sales guy. Man those were the good ole days. With Lotus, I know what I signed up for, so I have no choice but to be patient. With the occasional rant...

Wow I actually didn't know the front hood opens forward, aka the cool way, aka like a 90's BMW.

I hope my dealer still remembers I ordered a car. I periodically check in to remind him that I put down a deposit. :ROFLMAO:

I'm still confused. So are FE's being delivered ACTUAL production versions? Because to my understanding, the auto journalists were still getting pre-production testers?

It's come to the point where the few people that know I ordered an Emira is now thinking I'm full of shit, because I have nothing to show for it. "I should get delivery in 2 years, I'm being honest!" "SURE YOU ARE. I THOUGHT YOU WERE GETTING IT NEXT YEAR, NOW IT'S 2 YEARS FROM NOW? Next year...

I saw some pictures of the Emira. Does that count as delivery.

Privacy is dead for the most part. The only way to have total privacy is to live in a tent in the woods and be completely off the grid. No phone, credit cards, car, house, etc. I use a VPN for everything I use and even then.....I don't think having a VPN is completely secure. Anything and...

Sometimes I have to call my dealer just to check if I'm still in their system and check my place in line. I think I'll probably silently weep when I get my 30 Day Notification from 2 years of mental and emotional exhaustion for something so simple as........waiting for a new car.

I really really love orange illumination. The STI cluster arrangement is exactly how it should be for enthusiasts/performance cars. Tach in the center, speedo to the side.

Honestly I think this is a huge improvement over my current M2 Competition's instrumentation. The Emira's instrumentation looks clean and well presented. I also love that it tells you what gear you're in and when to shift (not that I really need that, but it's nice to have). I still to this...

I still find crypto/NFT's to be scammy ponzi "get rich quick" schemes. Whatever happened to just working hard and just saving money. Worked for my parents, and it works for me. The greatest lesson my Father ever taught me growing up is "There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world".

I like to say thank you to this wonderful community for helping me understand the complexities and nuances between duct tape and gaffer tape.

First time there for me as well - I ordered back in Nov 2021. You working with Joe Osario? So far, seems like a good dealership; the thing is - you have to call Joe periodically to check in to get updates.
