    Trade in values at checkout

    Try Motorway - it’s a different business model - they recently beat a dealer trade in offer by over £2k on my RR Velar… They set a (good) reserve then their 5000 or so signed up dealers get a 7-hour window to make their best offer…..

    Do any Emira owners have the passenger storage nets?

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234623554532 Here you go - 2 quid on eBay - these look just like the early photos which, IIRC, were on the Lotus website? I tried these on my Evora (which has nowhere for a phone apart from the glove box) - before the Emira was even launched - they fell off within a...

    Feeding cable from USB socket to trinket tray

    My iPhone 14 pro charges fine on a flat hard plastic Qi charger that's bigger than the back of the phone? Although if the Emira "slot" is deep enough then something like this could work (maybe with a bit of double-sided velcro)? https://uk.mous.co/products/matte-black-magsafe-compatible-charger

    Lotus EV bankrolled by world's richest man!

    The type 135 electric sports car is planned for Hethel production from "around 2026", alongside and then replacing the Emira.... This is worth a read too : https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1841024/000110465923008631/tm234838d9_425.htm

    📓 Journals Got my Emira - questions anybody?

    A quick search (I remembered seeing some time ago) reveals this website (UK/EU) that will make to measure, various films or tempered glass, matt or gloss - no idea if they're any good and nothing to do with me etc. but they don't seem that expensive...

    Do any Emira owners have the passenger storage nets?

    I'm fairly sure the Evora boot net would fit - all parts needed are listed here (but the "T" anchors are "unobtanium" from Lotus) : https://www.bellandcolvill.co.uk/deroure?qs=1&preview=1&make=1&model=20&groupid=12649 Or alternatively :

    I've had email replies to 2 emails sent earlier in the week today (Sunday) too - plus points for working at the weekends, minus points for not answering all of the questions asked though - feels like boilerplate click and reply tools are being used now....

    How to remove the nose badge

    I’d try gently warming with a hair dryer to soften the glue then dental floss or light fishing line to release/lift it off (assuming that the pins are just to locate and aren’t screwed or bolted from behind)…..

    Black letters mod

    At some time all parts should be available here - and there's a US/GB switch at the top of the page : https://parts.lotuscars.com/ (The Emira heading has been added but no parts as yet) This passes an order through your chosen dealer and works for older models already in the UK at least....

    UK deposit to order checkout to delivery process

    RBS One Account (formerly Virgin One Account) Probably an extreme case as it’s a “legacy product” but there’s a useful list here : https://www.wearepay.uk/what-we-do/payment-systems/faster-payment-system/transaction-limits/

    UK deposit to order checkout to delivery process

    My bank only allows £10k max in total per day using the faster payments system, regardless of number of transactions or payees. Hopefully they’ll wait 8 days after invoice or accept CHAPS by then or I’ll be driving to Hethel with a bankers draft…….. 🙄

    certificate of provenance

    Given that a lot of the information in the provenance pack is historic, e.g. how many cars were produced in the same specification per year, etc. I'm not sure of the value of purchasing it when the car is new - maybe better to wait a year or two? Probably for that reason Lotus now supply them...

    I4 Delivery Estimate w/ a Dec. 22 Order (USA)

    So was mine (UK also) but I asked CS a couple of days ago (as no proactive comms received since November when they were promised monthly) and was told it's now September build, October delivery - supposed to be UK i4 batch 1 - deposit was (Goodwood) Thursday 8th July 2021 as well...... :mad:

    Further Delays

    Just been advised (only because I asked again, the promised monthly updates since November haven't been happening, of course) that my "first batch" UK i4 is now September 2023 production, October 2023 delivery (Goodwood 2021 Thursday deposit)..... :mad:

    Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Wrap for your Emira

    I thought that was the original plan and that they were lining up a local firm for PPF applied at the factory too…. Fingers crossed for August (in many respects - perhaps they’ll even be doing PDI there by then too for factory collections)….

    Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Wrap for your Emira

    In conjunction with the cosmetic repair insurance at the same price again which allows for 18 SMART repairs over 36 months? Both of those together will be enough for me. Anyone prone to kerbing alloys (or maybe choosing diamond cut!) can add the wheel insurance at £229 (18 claims in 3 years...

    "Built in" SatNav Maps Update?

    I’m not sure myself why manufacturers even bother installing inbuilt satnav these days, but before @TomE has to police more off-topicness, and given that I thought I’d anticipated most of the replies above in my first post, first sentence, I’ll rephrase the question - “Given that the Emira has...

    I'm in - the buyers thread

    I'm still in for an i4 first-batch UK build (August) as originally chosen on deposit day (Goodwood Thursday 2021) but still disappointed by the lacking communications - perhaps the monthly updates promised on 14th November in the last, generic "delay" email will start "soon"......
