OK - now it's finally sinking in as REAL. I was about to throw in the towel and save my money. Now the appropriate level of irrational irresponsibility is coming back to life. I'm in California so probably a month away. There goes my free time again as I am back to checking this thread every...

There's a Jag too and soon the Emira. (And I'm 100% Italian - go figure??)

Sticker says 400HP! So i see Privacy Glass. Is that what you wanted?

https://oneofonesandiego.com/ Really good shop. They wrapped.my F-Type 9 years ago and still looks great. Haven't asked for price yet.

I'm doing full Xpel PPF. Was going to do Xpel PPF 'clear' window tint for UV protection. But just had that installed on my wife's Mini and disappointed the glare makes it really hard to see the interior. Ive got red leather and I think it makes the car pop when standing outside. Really torn...

Putting committee together to discuss redesign of window sticker - I hear it will be epic

Ink for window stickers on back order. Lotus just changed vendors. Estimating April 9th...

Do we know what the total.of 1.0 and 2.0. manuals is? (Have they all been built??)

Only 10 more days to DISAPPOINTMENT!!!

Spoke to my dealer today (California Oct.2021 2.0 deposit). They said I have a VIN which surprised me as I wasnt sure car waa built. Said they had VINs for all cars except automatics. Couldn't say for sure if car was stateside or still in UK. Good news is I should get quickly after (If)...

Drooling over Emira since Oct 2021 deposit and for first time seriously considering walking away from my 2.0. Contemplating just putting that money towards early retirement and driving F-Type into the ground. Plus just picked this electric Mini up as extra family car. Amazing how many smiles...

What month do you think 2025 model years will be released? (August?) For us 2021 2.0's from a depreciation standpoint this is depressing if we really are 90 days away = April

CARB: "Only 4 biz days left in January..." Lotus; "We never said which January..."

I've got a sinking feeling this car will flat not pass CARB. My prediction is Lotus will cave and sell the cars in the non-CARB states (what other choice would they have?) I live in California but i'm kind of at the point now when you've been chasing a woman out of your league and you realize...

Was wishing my 2.0 would roll up. Now I'm hoping it isn't being built until ink is dry on CARB. I hate the idea of this car gathering cobwebs and bird droppings for another (not at all unrealistic) 60-90 days. There's is a bible phrase that says hope long delayed makes the heart grow sick...

Smart to exclude the year of delivery...Welcome to Lotusland

You'll be lucky if your Emira arrives in the right body color - let alone the model!

Jan 19 and no word on CARB (Are the crickets still screaming Clarice?)

No - my dealer specifically said yesterday expect a gift AND disregard the email - it was not intended for US market. And I know he said that to both 1.0 and 2.0 deposit holders.

Ditto for me but 2.0

If only...

Dear Sally A) you've been a very good girl this year. B) your pony is in the front yard C) merry christmas! Love Santa (Oops - please disregard B- not for US)

OMG - Just got this from my dealership. Lotus sent that email in error???!!! Am I being punked? (2.0 in California)

Someone else w that email address is really psyched right now...

Edit - "We expect it to be delivered to you in the first few dozen weeks of 2024..."

This letter was drsfted in Oct 2023 but had to go thru committee approval.

Nice to.see the dealerships.starting to break in 1.0's for clients...

definitely. Or 31st

Has anyone in a CARB state received a VIN? (And if so are you 1.0 or 2.0?)

Ive had XPel on a car stored outdoors in SoCal sun for over 8 yrs. Waterless washed 3-4 times a week. Swirl marks practically non existent. Cant imagine quartz would hold up anywhere near as well

The inevitability that we all must privately come to, on our own terms - the realization that CARB will not happen in January - and the ensuing all too familiar kick in the stones

Need update - I'm running LEAN!

Daily PSA "It's Jan 2 - Do you know where your CARB is??"

Personally Im hoping they slow-roll the 2.0's until CARB is in hand. I have visions of some of these 1.0's withering on the vine - exposed to elements and birds outside or in showrooms to be molested by every Tom, Dick & Harry, jacket zipper, purse, kid etc
