Agree. I called them out on this. I told them they are doing something illegal by making me finance with them and I get better rates at my credit union. Obviously they retracted their statement.

No reasons given, just said all cars have to have PPF OR ceramic, and if not, we will give the customers deposit back. I could have pushed them on this and asked for it in writing, but as I wanted the PPF (was 60% for getting it), decided there was no reason to argue. I did feel the GM out and...

Thanks for the clarification. I only put down $2500, so would get that back, however I was on the fence of getting the PPF, and as I likely was going to get it later somewhere else, I didn't worry about it too much and just did this at the dealer to check mark the 'required' verbal discussion...

I was going to pull the 'show me the documentation that it is required', but as you stated, since I was going to get the PPF already (somewhere else in a week after driving the car a bit), I told myself, what the heck, just do it and don't worry about this minor detail (even though they use...

Thanks for the info. Of note, I was on the fence of getting the PPF, and as I likely was going to get it later somewhere else, I didn't worry about it too much and just did this at the dealer to check mark the 'required' verbal discussion. I chose this over the ceramic. If they required both, I...

waited to long for this car, so not going to walk away and give them the satisfaction of making 10k profit, for an extra 'forced' charge for PPF (although I am getting a product to hopefully protect from rock chips). Curious, what would you do? Would you walk away from the deal and get your...

Per request from other threads ,starting this thread for those that PICKED up their Lotus Emira (i.e. have TAKEN Delivery in the USA [North America]) and have the car in their possession. The first USA delivery was Monday March 4, 2024 (from what I gather). Post your pics below (if you want)...

Yup, required at Dallas, or you can get PPF, which is more expensive. Said if don't choose one, then you can have your deposit back. So I went with the PPF. They want people to walk away from the car so they can upcharge 10k.

This is my exact spec from the pic. Well done. :)

Amazing Collection! Congrats.

Nice Maurice, looks amazing. Where did you get this done? I pick up my car Friday and would love to get your connection and price. PM me

I see you Maurice---first one delivered in Dallas for sure. Someone else posted above that received Monday. Congrats.

nice; I didn't read further in the thread so don't answer my last question I posted on the color you got. The wheels look great with the calipers. don't know how to do the badge swap, but if you have extra stickers (if not a metal badge swap), hit me up (LOL)

I was that person. I told them that they can't force financing and the person went to double check and he was given incoorect info like Maurice stated. They will allow you to wire a check from another bank or bring a cashiers check. Maurice--you pick up your car yet?

I am up for anything, although need to get the car first. "They" say will be by end of month, but won't believe it until I am sitting in the car.

Yes, if you got in early, you are at 10-1,000x. If you get in late, you hold the bags.

BAYC to the moon

LOL :) this made my day. Well done, but maybe we should all meet up and place our gifts in the parking spaces, you know the book, keychain and hat. Let me know if you are in...LOL

Found a post, showing if you look closely in the sun the right side is more blue, and the left side is more purple. When I walk around my car, at different angles on a sunny day it looks blue and at other times it looks purple. I am glad I went with this color, but all the colors look amazing!

there are purple hues at different angles in the sun on the real car. I can confirm as I have one but pictures don't do it justice.

Of course the wife threw out the box, so I don't know. She just left this out to surprise me, but my first question was what did the box look like and where did it come from :) She said it was a regular box like an Amazon box...LOL It is funny how women remember details of dresses, shoes...

Who received their Lotus Emira Gifts (pic attached) for patiently awaiting delivery of their Emira in the USA after CARB approval? Remember we received an email stating gifts will be sent for our patience (not attached). Well spoiler alert, here are all the gifts that arrived. A total of 5...

Looks like it will be February 12 and March 13, 2024 timeframe per Bear at Lotus!

Thank you Bear. Appreciate the timeline, February 12 and March 13, 2024. I know exactly when it will be now, since I plan to be on vacation going skiing a few days during this time frame (2 separate 4-5 days)... that will be the day CARB gets approved and then I will have to wait until I arrive...

Thank you. Can't wait until your hands become untied either tomorrow or this week so you can update us. I hope to pick up my Lotus first week of February if CARB approved this week.

Cool. Bear actually seems to have proactively called Lotus and found out. My dealer made claims that didn't pan out and were either given wrong information or just made up a story of 'carb stickers are in' and got me all excited, or didn't get the memo that these stickers were entirely for...

Man, these Lotus people/dealers don't know what is going on. Thanks for the update. They said they were CARB stickers but obviously they were fooled by Lotus. Seems disorganized. I called and talked to my dealer/advisor, and they still have no updates. Sigh...

I received the same email. Let's hope the gift is delivering the car soon, as I don't need a free pen :)

Ha Ha, the best line of the Eletre is that it is made in China in Wuhan, so it will sure catch on...:ROFLMAO: Second best line, is pointing to the cup holders (were talking about loving the interior) and the driver told the passenger he gets the smaller cup holder as a sly jab while he gets the...

I visited my car at Dallas dealer and I asked when can I expect delivery, and they showed me a picture of the carb stickers that arrived yesterday (1/12/24), so per Lotus and Dallas dealer, they said once on all the cars, they can release them but of course have to wash the cars and make sure...

Hello Lotus Emira members in the USA At the Dallas location, CARB stickers have arrived, and they are placing them under the hood supposedly, therefore, your Emira's should be delivered soon (my guess is 1-2 weeks across the nation), for those that are lucky enough to have their cars in the USA...

didn't get invite, so i just drove down there and drove the Eletre :) as buddy told me it was in if you have an order/car in Dallas, can just walk in and tell them you want to drive the car

Yeah thinking about getting a GT3RS, but will enjoy this toy for a little bit first.

Good points. Thanks for the tip on the comment below

Some rumblings of car enthusiast probably wishing it could be up to par with a GT3RS at this price point.

Good point. I don't have a point.

Thank you for the answer. Yes was referring to carbon ceramic brakes. Makes sense for the price point, but wanted to have wishful thinking :)

Anyone know if the Emira comes with Ceramic brakes standard? If they want this car to compete on a track with a Porsche, you would think they would offer Ceramic brakes, so either it is standard and I can't find the answer, or it is NOT an option and will be an option in later models.
