The real value of this video is showing it to the next Dealer that says an oil and filter change runs $800 and above.
I also thought it was a slick production.
Smooth move.
Had a chat at my dealer a bit ago about this matter and the opinion was Lotus might ship much of the vehicles from China to Hethel for 'final assembly ' and shipment to NA as a workaround.
Haven't heard/seen this concept elsewhere so legitimacy is questionable.
Space and training would be needed...
Could the 1/8 inch material be placed inside underneath the trunk liner to resolve the 'warming tray' effect?
And wouldn't the muffler heat incidence prove detrimental to battery life?
They do.
If you know, you know.
Just wait - one of them will quote you in answer to your question.
But it sounds much more reassuring coming from them.

Wow, quite the excursion.
The Pikes Peak run is worth it's own storyline. How did the Emira handle the ride up, and braking during the descent? Any issues with the altitude and the supercharger? Ready for an air and oil filter change?
Make generous use of the lumbar support button and play with the tilt function.
Worked for me. And yes, the pedals are closely set, for heel n toe.
It's quite a difference returning to a regular car, but the Emira isn't a regular car.
I think anyone contemplating placing an order should spend time perusing
these 'day-in-the-life' pictures.
Imagine if Lotus had sponsored and hosted these?
That would make it 'Worth the Wait.'
Next up: What did you do today with your Emira thread.
Here we go again with configuration angst.
Been there, done that, and have the worry lines to show for it.
At least now there are now road-going examples to ponder.
Glad others get to join in on the fun, soon.
So, 'pushing the envelope' was both administrative and beyond.
(my dad was navigator on a WWII bomber).
Lotus at Hethel is a former WWII airfield, I believe.
