I've been waiting for a side by side. SOOOO glad I waited for the FE 2.0 colors. I like the Nimbus Gray, but for me the Osmium Silver is PERFECT!!!

GRP test pipe will restore any "hypothetical" small amount of power loss due to CARB retune

From Lotus Management:

Like the Mclarens but no manual option is a deal breaker. IMHO, A 6 speed manual transmission is a must for a true driving experience. Also my friends that have owned Mclarens quickly fall out of love when things break and they see the costs to get them fixed.

This guy in England is awesome! I've had two covers made by him https://www.classicadditions.com/en-GB/indoor-car-covers/custom-indoor-car-cover/prod_10073

When Lotus / Lotus Dealers confirm on Monday, then I'll be the first to say sorry, I was wrong for doubting the authenticity of the document. Thanks for the info!

Agree...If its a photoshop then its pretty good one. If its legit where did it come from. That little detail was conveniently omitted from the original post

it happened in china so the cause is probably a Chinese driver. :p

I hope it is legit but until the information comes from a verifiable source I'd be skeptical.

Its total BS. Wait for this to come from Lotus or a Dealer. Other than that its just some jokester trying to stir the pot

Not sure what's moronic about pointing out your mistake. Go to the configurator and see for yourself. Steering wheel in alcantara is a $530 Option https://www.lotuscars.com/en-US/configurator/emira/emira-v6-first-edition Geezzz...Don't be so defensive and lighten up "Karen"

Wrong. Configurator still shows a $530 charge. I know Forums are for information sharing. But it would be great if that information was correct from time to time...

It amazes me how rude and arrogant some high end sales organizations can be. I understand they don't want to waist time with "tire kickers" but at the same time a good salesperson will always ask questions to qualify a client, but at the very least should treat everyone with a basic level of...

The closer to the "finish line" I get the more I get sucked in. That and its the only place for information since Lotus is like a black hole for communications.

All of these discussions are missing the underlying forcing function for EV adaptation and long term macro economic viability. CONSUMER DEMAND. Irrespective of global markets, trends in the USA have not been favorable for EVs. Tesla was first to market and filled what demand was there. As...

In the USA at least, I think the i4 is going to be be seen as the lesser of the two engine options and depreciate much more over time. Additionally the i4 being a turbo is much more likely to be "tuned" (translation for mechanically molested) and that will further reduce the i4's resale

I agree that theres a chance the Emira will hold its value well. It has a timeless design and with low production numbers it will likely be sought after for years. This assumes that Lotus continues to be a viable company with adequate OEM parts support.

Piece in "DRVE" by Nico Demattia Sort of a recap of what we know...but its a good read...

On second thoughts my projections where likely optimistic and you're probably right. 1000 units annually is about all they can hope for as the initial "new to market" hype fades

I think when the initial batch of Lotus aficionados who've waited patiently for the Emira have possession of their cars demand for the Emira will wane and be more in line with the current market for 2 seat sports cars. I wouldn't be surprised if the Emira fails to matched the Supra at about 2500...

$900 for some molded ABS plastic....YHGTBSM!

thx. Fixed...typing fast!

Its fair to say at this point those of us who placed deposits over 2 years ago and have endured this journey are a special breed indeed!

Not really interested in many supercars b/c no manual transmission option. Pretty much leaves the 911 Gt3. Or 911T. That said 911 is so ubiquitous it’s a fun drive but visually a boring option. Maybe a v8 ford GT

1. Yes 2. On the street you won't be able to go fast enough for a wing to matter 3. The ones left off street driven cars 4. Yes...exponentially

I'm going on the assumption that no news is good news. Not much to say until either CARB gets off their lazy asses and signs off or March 12th passes us by.

eeeehhh, that's not really how IPO's work

I wish I could short the stock...

this was given to me by a contact in the EU. Use at your own risk:-) Emira Alignment Specifications for Sport Alignment: Front Camber: -0.9 to -0.7 degrees Front Caster: 4.90 to 5.10 degrees Front Toe: -0.01 to +0.03 degrees Rear Camber: -1.9 to -1.7 degrees Rear Toe: 0.18 to 0.22 degrees

It depends. Dealers get allocations and those allocations get assigned to clients. Some dealers get more, some get less. Some have more demand for their allotted allocations, some less. So your best bet is to start with your "most" local dealer and ask. Beyond that start working the phones...
