Here are some other tiny petals. Sorry, I just couldn't resist. :)

Are you close to the dealership? Take their demo out for a spin and see if it sounds the same. If not, then you've got someplace to follow up.

Is the lofted space available to rent? My family probably won’t miss me all that much. 😆

Now that some of you are taking delivery, can you confirm the usb outlet made its way to the rearview mirror? I’m looking for a discrete camera that works with this setup, any recommendations? For reference, I considered the escort 360c radar detector + camera, but that’s a pretty bulky...

Lotus corporate, “suck on this.”

If they’re not going to include a physical copy of the handbook, I get to pick which version I follow, right?! 😂

Wanna trade?

Make $10k extra or get sued for a lot more. 🤔

I'm ok with this! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, hopefully we'll get more of this from owners that are lucky enough to pick up their cars.

Best Mist White pics I’ve seen so far. Is this a forum members car? You’ve got me second guessing my upper black pack selection - but identical spec to mine otherwise. Edit: sorry for the quality, best I can get from Facebook.

Does anyone know if the clear coat is thicker/thinner on the Emira compared with other modern cars? I recognize technological advancements have made clear coats thinner in recent years, but haven't seen anything definitive for the Emira specifically using a paint gauge.

I bought a white car mostly because I’ve always liked white cars, but also because they’re easier to love when dirty and minor imperfections (rock chips, swirls, etc.) don’t show up as prominently. Essentially, they’re lower maintenance, and I don’t feel the need to worry about PPF as much...

Is anyone financing through Lotus? Have they offered any finance offers / lease rates? I intended to pay cash, but if they've got some decent offer I'd consider it for sure.

Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if they couldn’t get the printer paper to align quite right for the window stickers. 1 year delay.

New here? :LOL:

Are we sure the latest flash was related to CARB and not part of the other software updates the rest of the world also received?

At least they got to drive their car before the wheels came off.

Can you imagine how much fun the CARB offices are having at our expense right now?!

Don’t be greedy. 😂

Liam Neeson, is that you? If my kid ever goes missing, I’m calling you.

Or...it will go from Lotus => Dog Catcher => Forgotten for a week => Mailed to Lotus USA In error with a "soon" statement => Correctly mailed to Lotus USA => Sits on Interns Desk => (Carb website updates - panic ensues) => Dealers => You I just wanted to make sure everyone knew both options.

If enough time passes (25 years), we can skip all this CARB nonsense and just import directly from Europe. :LOL:

Meh, not all that bad - at least what they chose to share. Doesn't mean I'm going to rush out and invest though, lots of headwinds in this space right now.

As a car enthusiast/purist, I love the idea of a return to gas cars. As a tech nerd, I love EVs. But as a realist, I recognize this train will be hard to stop (from Reuters): California's zero-emission[...] rules mandate 35% of the new cars sold be plug-in hybrid electric, EVs or hydrogen fuel...

They have regular salaried staff that are responsible for PR that chose not to say anything. Why would they be subtle and “pay someone” to say what @rotate shared with us? Man - you’re getting a little jaded, which I sort of get, but come on!

Welcome to the forum! Best thing about software bugs is they can be easily fixed. I wouldn’t worry about it too much. The first day of ownership is always the best.

It would be wise to pick a color you like. You have to live with it every time you look at it, and you will never think about how one color option is “better” because it costs more.

This statement is triggering, even in response to another post and as a joke. God, what’s wrong with me?!

I’m glad it’s not a turbo. They don’t sound as good, and probably gets too hot with the limited airflow for a mid-engine setup too. Love that lotus is sticking with so many tried and true parts.

It frankly doesn’t matter what you think of EVs. Governments aren’t going to allow ICE cars for much longer. Maybe there’s an ICE model or two in each brands portfolio, but won’t be much more than that for long. As @Zardoz has said, people that daily EVs certainly don’t seem to be clamoring to...

I’ve bought many used cars that have worked out well. For me personally though, I would never buy someone else’s used exotic car. I recognize this is probably a big consideration for some, but if I’m buying something special, I want it to be new. Gallardo (and other used cars like it) didn’t...

To your point, because China controls the outflow of money, my guess is Geely couldn't have made a similar $1B investment outside of China without significant future financial risk (ie punishment from the Chinese govt).

Ok, I’ll say it. The only good thing about Lotus keeping us in the dark for so long is it created an interesting forum. All the rumors, speculation, etc…now we’re all just quietly waiting and hoping they get it right this time. Really nothing more to say until after Feb 12th, is there?

I think you meant to say CARB approval was coming "soon." GLWS!

Lotus intern: hey boss, that US based forum has over 8k posts and nearly a million visits talking about our incompetence, shouldn’t we defend ourselves or provide some information so we don’t keep them guessing? Lotus PR Manager:

You mean to tell me you received communication about your car while it was in transit? How much did that cost you? Did you bribe a local Stuttgart resident to find classified Porsche documents? Perhaps a “donation” to your local port/mafia connection? No, no, that’s not it, you must moonlight as...
