I'm doing the driving experience the first week of April. Initially I thought I'd get my car after the trip, but now it looks like I will likely take delivery before.

Sounds right. I'm probably buying a second set of rims for track use anyways and the Goodyears will be for normal driving.

I'm in Kansas City MO if you have access to what you think I should be getting charged

So this post made me get in touch with my State Farm rep, because it was $1400 less than what they initially quoted me and even he was surprised that they would have ever quoted $3800. So he looked into it and got my new quote to $2600 (and I could probably get it lower if I increased the...

So I've got 12 years to prepare.

I just remember driving a test car and as I was driving I was POSITIVE that it had to be the Touring suspension, because it was pretty smooth. So I asked and he told me it was Sports Suspension on Cup 2's. I eventually went Sports with F1's because I think they are better tires for non-track...

That's kind of what I was thinking. I generally dislike the visible edges on PPF, but may just have to live with it because it will be better than all the paint marks that happens on black.

What are people's thoughts on the upper black pack for protection? I really don't want to be constantly cleaning it and trying to get to get that mirror black finish. Any suggestions on what to do just for that part?

Yeah, I think we are getting another round of this Thursday/Friday. I'd prefer to let all the March rain wash away any residual salt on the roads before driving the Emira.

I’m probably good with not taking delivery for a bit:

I'm trying to remember where I heard it, but I swear I heard someone say that CARB approval typically gets posted a month after EPA approval. I could be completely wrong, but I think someone posted that awhile back.

Of those 2, Osmium I think is the pick.

Agreed on the point about flexibility. You can make it darker fairly inexpensively. But it would cost a lot to make it lighter.

So after being in Saint Louis this weekend I can fully state that the STL car listed in this post (bottom photo) actually is my car(only Mist White car there). To give you an idea of how bad the lighting is in that storage room my car has red seats and red calipers... really hard to see that in...

Wow. I saw mine today so I know it's right, but if they had screwed it up I would have been very hard pressed not to ask them to make it right. To me seeing the engine is a part of the design I really like.

I'm not sure of total number. Probably like 16 cars. I saw DV, Nimbus, Shadow, Hethel Yellow, Seneca and Mist White. Yes, my salesperson said that every US car comes with a tender.

Just left the Saint Louis dealership. They have ALL of their Emiras indoors and hooked up to battery tenders.

So we just got done in Saint Louis. Mist White looks good in person, but the lighting in their storage area is honestly horrendous and the cars are packed in like sardines so it’s hard to get different angles for photos. The lights are a mix of yellow and pink bulbs (no explanation for why...

All-electric version of the normal Tom, obviously.

I’ll be there on Saturday. But my dealer sent me a photo for proof of life. Not the greatest lighting unfortunately (lighting looks almost pink... see back glass and you can see light, and then you can see the pink light on front fender). I’ll try to get some better photos this weekend if possible.

Not ideal, but honestly I don't intend to drive it a lot in sub-30 weather anyways. So I'd be ok with March.

Cheapest advertising in the world. List cars that people want. They call or come in, "well that one is sold, but have you looked at ...." Every dealer wants to drive traffic.

Yeah, I get it. I just think it's funny if these were all sitting on a showroom floor, and you brought someone in who knew nothing about what has transpired, you'd be very hard pressed to make them understand why two vehicles with the same build sheet that arrived in the same year and time are...

By the same logic, I feel if my "FE2.0" is one of the first 500 in the US, isn't it technically an FE1.0 and they should remove $12K from my bill :)

In all seriousness, I just got a text from my dealer that my FE2.0 has arrived today. Will update if/when I get pics.

If you think being put outside is bad, my dealer told me that since nobody is compensated on the sale of these cars until they sell (post CARB) that he's being evicted from his apartment due to non-payment since he hasn't been paid since 2021, and that he is having to live inside my Emira just...

Schrodinger's Emira...

Being on autotrader doesn’t mean the car isn’t already sold. Car can go into inventory and a dealer list all inventory on autotrader automatically. Just generates calls/traffic.

My belief was you have to go with either an exciting outside color, or an exciting inside color.

My in-laws got me a Lotus bag for weekend getaway drives:

So they are saying nothing is final. Not really anything new in that response.

It's beautiful.
