When did you place the order, I know the base V6 order cutoff was Feb 15th and anything after that is not guaranteed.

Do you have a PDF from Lotus confirming you spec and price?

If you have already gotten the order PDF from Lotus with your detail spec and price, your car is probably already done and waiting for transport. It seems that Lotus already started limited production of the Turbo SE as a Dealer in Netherland have just gotten one.

Not what I did but what someone did to my car today. Well, it didn't look like it gone through the paint so the wrap more than paid for itself and probably not going to be much more than $1K to rewrap the fender. 😡

Did your dealer provide you with an order acknowledgement pdf detailing your config and price.

Sound like you actually missed the initial V6 base order and the dealer just took your deposit for a future build. Did you ever received the pdf from Lotus detailing your spec, if not, your order was not entered to Lotus., and will not be acknowledged until if and when US V6 base are scheduled...

Do you have a V6 Base on order? Did you get a pdf order acknowledgement from Lotus with your order detail? Lotus did not stop production, (they may have slowed down a bit) so all V6 base that did not arrive before March 31st are either sitting at the docks or being build. Lotus is just waiting...

Wouldn't you want the car you specified even if cost a bit more? Once they sign and seal the 10% deal. the net difference is going to be 7.5% increase on the invoice to dealer amount (probably ~$80K) so around $6K. I think that between Lotus and the dealer, they will absorb part of that so the...

Thanks, at least we now know what they're related to even though we don't know the details.

Unless you live in a hot climate where residual water will evaporate in a minute. It won't work as the residual water will collect dust from the environment which will result in water spots/rings all over the car. That why even with a powered blower. it is still recommend to dry the remining...

Went in to have the dealer adjust the alignment since it was pulling slightly to the right since I picked it up in Feb, Ask them to check it when I went in for 1K oil change in Apr but it was still pulling after. Got it back yesterday and it seems that there were 4 new updates between Apr 18 and...

Figure around $80K so an additional $5-6K based on 7.5%

What they wants to do and reality is 2 different thing. Lotus have also said that they wish to increase price on the Emira. It all depends on what other UK manufacturer like JLR does. higher Sale with less profit is still better than lower sales with higher profit as it helps to keep factory...

100K total UK import a year (about what it is now), not per manufacturer according to C&D article: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a64717107/british-auto-imports-lowered/

Which is a 7.5% increase from the current 2.5%. That means the extra tariff amount will be somewhere between $5-6K and I assume that Lotus and their Dealers will absorb some of the cost which would probably results in a net increase in the $3-4k range over the current price. I expect Lotus will...

You know those are artificially generated fake rear as pretty much only sound files pulled from blu-ray concert contains true multiple sound channels. Pretty much all the newer surround sound receivers have auto adjustment features to account for a large room environment with varies different...

Why would you need a fader? Do you need a fader for your home sound system? Do you sit with your back towards the speakers at home? Do you have music files that is more than 2 channels?

I guess it's source dependant. I have 24bit 48/96 files playing from a USB-C and it's actually uncomfortable above 65.

Yes. Since I drive both car over pretty much the same road in my area. The i4 is definitely a little more bouncy over the same imperfections on the road, not to the point of causing a distraction but much more like the V6 sport that I have drove.

The 2 car are not equal. In Touring in the i4 is stiffer than the V6 sport, rear spring on the i4 touring is 135Nm/m vs 115 Nm/m of the V6 sport. I would advise against i4 sport unless you have perfect road in your city or you'll be very busy with the steering on the highway (as in my friend's...

As far as I know, It's a TMU update that changes the shift logic and patterns. have nothing to do with engine output.

I'm probably a bit older so I would rather have a smoother shift when I'm just running around Silicon Valley in traffic. I usually stay in sport mode just for the quicker throttle response but I don't really push the car till I'm out of the city.

I think this update is intended to address some of the strange shift behavior in sport and track mode. I have experienced some rough/jerky shift in sport mode and the DCT will sometimes stay in gear pretty much close to redline even while not under full throttle. So it's sounds more like making...

Source? Which dealer and what software? I'm taking my i4 in on Monday and I'll look into this.

If you live in a densely populated city.What's the point of using any other mode than Tour? Just so you can accelerate faster from a stop then having to brake a moment later? I only use Sport or Track once I'm out of the city.

Alway apply a bit of downward pressure on the armrest before pushing in on the latch then lift up.

you need to have your hearing checked. I usually don't go past 50% often and even then never above 60%

For what it's worth. The KEF sounds better than my 2024 718S base system but not as good as the B&O in my 2021 RS5 (which was a ~$900-$1000) option back then

Yea, sport and track have different throttle and gearbox mapping. keeping the rpm higher so there's minimal if any turbo lag.

If your VIN is not of one of the boats that arrived before Lotus halted production. then you won't see it till the dust settles if ever. of those that made it to the US port. If they landed by 3/31, you should have gotten it or an least been notified that they are enroute to the dealer.

My setup is a cheap set of this from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLLF9VXW?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2 and I bounce between these two cleaner depending on how dirty they were. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003UT3S6Q?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1...

Between the i4 and the V6? I have an impression thread here or do you want something specific? https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/first-impression-of-my-i4-from-a-current-v6-manual-owner.5830/

I love my Silver wheels but they do require frequent cleaning. This morning was cool and cloudy so give the V6 a wash and cleaned the wheels.
