The info I have are *arrivals*. The manifests are for cars that have arrived in the US. So if your car got loaded on a boat 6/18, it would take 2-3 weeks before it shows up in the US.

No problem. Maybe it's on a different boat. Let's hope it will be here soon!

Yea, I double checked and it's correct. :P

There was an order submission form with your name on it. They should be able to get a copy of that. Regardless, it's not like they are arguing with you on this. Just a sh*tty situation.

Good to know. I have had multiple sets of the DWS 06 and currently has a set of the newer "Plus" variant on our family sedan. I was curious about getting the PS A/S 4s this time around for the Emira. So you think the DWS 06 retains more of a sporty edge against the Michelin? In what way?

Nothing posted yet... :(

Yea, I personally would ask for some accommodations. It's actually pretty amazing that they were able to find one so close in spec. To me, none of the above would be deal breakers - in fact I would prefer the diamond wheels, touring suspension, and privacy glass. :ROFLMAO:

+1 on the ceramic coating. I have CQuartz UK 3.0 on mine and all it takes is a blast from the power washer and it's 97.6% clean.

The Emira is going to be a year round car for me, so I'm getting either the DWS 06 or Pilot All Season 4s after the stock good years wear out. Both are available in the Emira's OEM size.

Unfortunately, there isn't any way to get line level signal out of the system because the entire signal chain uses a A2B digital data bus. Your only option is to tap the high level signals from the subwoofer amplifier output.

Yea, I would think so. The OEM subwoofer is a dual voice coil design, and the installer would just need to tap one set of the wires to get the signal to an aftermarket subwoofer. They would then need to set the phase, crossover frequency, and level of the aftermarket subwoofer to get it dialed...

Never heard this in mine. Maybe your exhaust valve opened?

I love this photo comparison.

Yea, I think Lamborghini and Aston Martin are doing great car designs. Ferrari is hit or miss for me - my current favorite is the Roma. The 911 does look very nice. They have optimized that design quite nicely.

I like it!

There is no common solution for everyone. Cars sold in the US were/are different than those in Europe and it would be rather foolish to think that the entire world can be aligned under one "EV-only" standard just because one of the better well-to-do small European countries is having a great go...

The engine's CG is in front of the rear wheel, although probably not as much as a Ferrari or Lambo. The location of the engine is limited by the transmission choice, it's kind of stuck there. The engine could probably be moved forward more if they make it longitudinal mount and switch to a...

Very cool! So you jack up the car using the rear jack points and then lower the wheels onto these stands?

I don't think anyone knows... I would have guessed 1500-2000 cars total for MY2024. Looks like they are probably getting close to 1500 cars already. They should be switching over to I4 and V6 auto production soon for MY2025. I have no idea if Lotus plans to continue making FE cars until the...

Sorry to hear about that. It's always a possibility. But If it is something important, you definitely want Lotus taking care of it versus your dealer. So out of a bad situation, Lotus working on it directly is the less-bad option. They could also have just left it at the back of the lot. Ask...

Some lucky winner got a car delivered on 6/8 in Baltimore. Just one car. They are messing with us.

I discovered an error in the sum formula. It's been more than that.. I updated.

Definitely all about perspective! I have touring suspension on mine and it is *firm enough*. The suspension does an admirable job of feeling rather plush by filtering out the smaller high frequency bumps. But if the roads have medium frequency to undulating imperfections, the car feels firm and...

If you have bird droppings, or dried-on leaves that leave behind a light haze in the paint once cleaned off, and it seems as if it has etched the paint, this may not be true! After the paint experiences some heat under the sun, the haze will clear up itself. Some people even use a hair dryer to...

Yea, I pop in every now and then. And of course when people @ me to get a shipment update.

My quick pit stop

No one has any photos of the new rain diverter? Sad!!!

I agree. With a lift, getting the rear tray off is very easy and the rest of the process is very simple. MB charges about 300 for an oil change service "A" so I guess I would be okay with that. 700 is just absurd.

We only see the records of goods unloaded at US ports, unfortunately.

LOL. Yea it seems *some* dealers are able to have better information than others. Not perfect, but better. My dealer (Lotus of NJ) seems to have done an admirable job. What accounts for the differences may be either 1) Lotus USA is communicating things but other dealers are not paying attention...

Once they arrive at port, it's anyone's guess how quickly they will show up at dealers. We don't have that information, unfortunately. It's up to the port operations what order they get those cars ready and transported out.

Need pics of those 2x4 race jacks. For science.

The filter cartridge plug on mine is on really tight. I couldn't get it undone and didn't have a strap wrench handy so I just left it on. The entire filter cartridge was only hand tight on the car. I was able to unscrew it with my hands without much effort. It wasn't too much trouble to use my...

Yea, the total number of cars is in my tracking sheet. I am missing 51 cars from the total because I can only see a limited number of vins from the very first shipment.

Yea, those panels are definitely missing. I would get that replaced.

I think I stopped replacing crush washers sometime in the 90s. 🤣
