I drop my car off for PPF on the 11th so Im out for this one but want in next time.

There were a couple of base cars that were delivered alongside mine but I couldnt find any with base audio. Seems everyone is checking the KEF box. I also couldnt find the tech headliner or the non-sport pedals.

anyone know how to make the assistant voice a woman voice

I took delivery. Officially own one.

The transmission is an Aisin unit

To add to this the brake reservoir is in the front part of the car when you go looking for it. You have to remove the screws to flip the front hood. There's videos on youtube its not hard but you have to know its there. Also know that the Emira uses lug bolts so the wheels are a bit more of...

I was supposed to pick my car up from Galpin yesterday but it was raining so I cancelled till today. When I placed my deposit I was under the impression it was refundable. The receipt for the deposit just said 2500 deposit with my sales mans initials though. There was no signed documents or...

Have you ever known a politician to remove a tax? By the time someone else is in the crash and recovery will be over in the market. We are definitely in for some short term hurting but I bet by the time the administration changes again it will just become the new standard.

$6000 for a windshield replacement? That's bananas.

Are the lotus service center ones available for purchase to independent shops? Perhaps thats the way to do it.

Kind of but its also based off on the declared value at import which I do not think includes Lotus USA or dealer costs/profits. If Lotus chooses to pass the costs on to the buyer it should not result in a full 25% raise in MSRP.

The tariffs on the chart were for all goods but cars are still subject to 25% and parts are going to be tariffed 25% from select countries which we find out in May.

The date on my build sheet from lotus was 9/21/24 and mine was on the 3/17 boat. The first thing you should inquire on is your VIN. You probably have one by now. Check that VIN against Nova's list of what cars are on the boats to see if your car is stateside yet. My car took 13 days from...

Today is tariff day. The next boat in is subject. I imagine we will know the impact within a month or 2. I say leave it open.

Shadow over red is an amazing combo. If I didn't get Nimbus over red Shadow would be my next choice.

Oregon has some cool license plates. My Model 3 Performance is getting traded in on the Emira this week. Despite the meteoric drop in value from what I bought it at in 2022 I still have some equity which is nice. I never drive it because I have a company truck and I want to switch it up to...

I'm not sure the cars were rushed. It takes time to load a container ship and its not a one day sail across the Atlantic. This was an on time normal delivery. There's no way the cars on this last boat were made since the tariff announcement. These cars were probably already at the port by...

I bought a Tesla Model 3 in 2019 that was like this when I picked it up brand new. At the time you signed before they would let you drive them so you could only check for aesthetic stuff. I drove around the block and right back to their service bay. He asked if I had an appointment. I told...

Great news. Get them all in.

Some say there a hint of blue in the right lighting. When I saw an admittedly dusty one it looked like a nice bright neutral silver to me. There doesn't appear to be any blue metallic in it but its definitely a cooler tone than Nimbus.

Im picking it up Saturday to drive it to the PPF installer. I wont have it available for any fun till April 11th.

Looks like you were on the 3/17 boat then. I got a text of my car from my dealer on Saturday. Seems they are hitting the west coast now. I have it currently scheduled for pickup next Saturday the 5th.

GRP has been out of stock for awhile.

Im interested if new as well

My car arrived at the dealer. Should have it in hand by end of next week.

Shouldn't you at least wait and see what the actual impact is on Emira cost before you rage quit on it?

I got some quotes from Grundy and Hagerty. Grundy was way cheaper. That said I have to call for the full details because while they listed the limits they didnt list the mileage. I only want like 3k but I dont know what their base mileage is for the quotes.

What part of the country are you in?

Those are just holding spots for extras so when you inevitably break some somewhere else you have a spare.

They aren't being forced. Its just that cars from other countries are now going to cost more to get into the US so either manufacturers will have less margin on them or they will be less competitive on cost when put against American made cars. If an American wants a Japan made Lexus they are...

The big picture is that large scale manufacturers are going to need to run multiple factories on multiple continents to feed their biggest markets.

I don't have one but Ive seen a few in person and shadow grey is probably the most underrated color. It looks really good in person. I still think lighter colors show off the Emiras lines more but if I wanted dark I would get a shadow grey over verdant, cosmos or meridian.

Assuming they still have it when I pick up Galpin does an included extended powertrain warranty covering "ENGINE (Gas/Diesel), TURBO / SUPERCHARGER, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, MANUAL TRANSMISSION, DRIVE AXLE ASSEMBLY(Front & Rear), TRANSFER UNIT, TOWING REIMBURSEMENT, SEALS & GASKETS". I figure...

If the only way to disable it is to rely on the car automatically doing it I wouldn't even try.

You are not supposed to put rear facing seats in the front seat of a car. The air bag will mess it up big time in a crash.

That is unfortunate to say the least. To put that in without a manner to disable it is not cool. Especially when it functions through the existing system messing it up in the progress.

I have my phone in the left and wallet in the right. I put keys in the right with the wallet.

Yeah that definitely looks like some extra material that was there before paint and just needs to be pulled out. I would use a razor to cut any paint connecting the car from the tape before pulling.

I think for all you Britain folks the rule of thumb should be to avoid anything MY23 and probably the first half of MY24. Its generally good practice to avoid the first year of any all new car but that Lotus FE1 pricing was pretty sweet so I see how people jumped on it.
