I was told the same by Alex today - Thursday being deadline for changes. Also Nov build for Dec delivery.

Same as me then - my deposit was 11th July.

Just received a call From Customer Care to lock in my spec. Had the same conversation re my Nov build/Dec delivery - seeking to push back to Spring 2023 simply means the lottery of a delivery at some point in 2023. PPF will be offered and priced when paying up with 30 days to go.

My situation appears to be all over the place: - deposit 11th July 2021 (evening) - indicated I wanted an i4 when contacted by Customer Care - second payment 4th May this year and configured car - changed to V6 and advised later in May by email that delivery is likely to be Q1/Q2 2023 - my...

And that photoshop reflects my concern on the factory tour back in April when I commented that the satin silver finish (which I would describe as slightly "milky"?) felt rather generic, as compared to the DC and black wheels. Those of us on the tour that afternoon agreed the DC or black were...

No bonnet gap at the front because the bonnet is partially open....

Snap. I must admit that my enthusiasm is slowly draining - the fact that changing from an i4 to a V6 has caused my position in the queue to slip is not annoying me as much as it did, several months ago. This was intended to be my "forever car" but I am increasingly concerned that the first batch...

I have previously seen them in silver and black but hadn't seen/recalled the grey. Always a gamble to get the shade right - I failed when I had my SSR GT1 alloys powdercoated on my S2000.

The alloys appear gunmetal in colour? I wonder whether a future option or simply playing around with possible colours?

I placed my deposit on the final day of Goodwood, in the evening (11th July 2021) and initially opted for the i4, swopping to the V6 a couple of months ago. My most recent CS email suggested Q1/Q2 build for the V6. Although I was told I wouldn't lose my place in the queue, it feels like a...

My S2000 had an almost horizontal digital rev counter and reved to 9k :)

And people criticise the Emira's bonnet leading edge gap ;)

I was considering an M2 12 months ago as a back seat was essential (for school runs) but then the Emira was released and that requirement went out of the window.... but during my bmw research I noticed that Joe Achilles worships every new bmw he is given and so I take his reviews with a pinch...

True. That is excatly what Honda did with the S2000 after the first gen were criticised for being a little too edgy. The differing geo settings were issued as a service bulletin.

As a former S2000 owner, I've also had my car's geo fettled by Chris at CG (as well as the replacement of seized suspension bushes - a common S2000 trait!). It was similarly my first thought when I listened to the understeer comments in a couple of video reviews. Chris is passionate about...

Externally I've configured the same Magma, half black pack, diamond cut wheels, no privacy glass and black brake calipers - hopefully mine will arrive with wheel centre caps!

A little too bright, IMO (based on factory tour).

A database of road speeds which simply contains the speed limit, rather than the reality of a narrow cornish lane with locals pushing their way past? It was the last straw for me and I bought a phone mount to use Waze instead (2018 X1) Edit: And this was whilst we were still receiving the...

My BMW sat nav routing is awful, here in the UK - it takes ridiculously narrow roads and clearly doesn't have access to any actual traffic speed data for individual roads.

I knew nothing about android automotive until I read this thread this morning (and I used android auto for the first time only a few days ago!) but if the polestar has Google maps integrated within the dashboard display then perhaps the Emira will? https://www.t3.com/reviews/android-automotive

Several board members have flagged the fact that mid engine temps may make achieving those big figures more problematic than in a front engined car. However, I am simply repeating what I have read as this is my (a) first mid engined car; and (b) my second turbo car after my 2002 golf gti mark 4...

I was very much of the same mind but the gnawing doubt got to me...

Argh! Is the PPF supplied with complimentary apostrophes?

I asked Nick and he even phoned Scott - not known between them.

The first photo is of the standard cast wheels, rather than the forged wheels in the second photo (different design).

I've been i4 since I placed my desposit in July of last year. However, last week I decided the car isn't going to be my daily driver and that there will inevitably be faster i4 variants, if maximum speed on the track is wanted (and I will almost certainly not track mine - I much preferred...

Received the same email today (i.e. we'll tell you in early 2023 when you will receive your i4) and I placed my order on 11th July. But I had exchanged emails with customer care a couple of days ago and so knew I could potentially get my Emira earlier if I swopped back to a V6. I've decided to...

I also preferred the magma red paint flowing over the roof when I saw a few of the magma red cars on the factory tour. A few of us agreed that the silver lettering and exhaust finishers would also tie in neatly to the silver on the diamond cut wheels (and I can also see the same logic for...

Ouch! :D

I'm tinkering with the online configator again (damn Nimbus for potentially threatening Magma!) and the brake caliper rendering is all over the place - choosing certain calipers made the alloys black and certain choices made the rear caliper disappear! I wonder if a configurator upgrade is...

Hmmm, I have a feeling that the Nimbus cars we saw parked up at the end of the production line all had gloss black wheels. Read into that what you will....

You have reminded me of the tour guide's description of the paint shop - I'm not sure whether it has been mentioned elsewhere on the forum but it is a rotary bell atomizer, IIRC.

5/10 - too flat/satin for my taste.

Not a million miles away (and I'm conscious that it has been more than a week since I stood in the factory) but I think magma may be slightly darker/different.

"cherry" was also the word that came to mind when I was on the tour, trying to think how to convey the colour!

I get this, too - whilst it is perhaps as dark as the model in poor lighting, the paint is more sophisticated and has much greater depth, to my eyes on the tour.

We're of the same mindset, hence I was a little disappointed with what I saw, whereas others on the tour were more than happy with the tan interior. I was keen on the idea of a magma (or nimbus) with tan interior but, following the tour, I'm minded to go for alcantara with red stitching.

Only heard at low revs but it sounded relatively throaty for a four pot. Too short a time to make a considered assessment, TBH.

Mine had circa 117,000 miles on the clock, from memory, and so it sold for slightly less than that ;) I intended to keep it (I had the car from new - 2002) but I was annoyed when I saw some rust bubbling on the sills, having had the rear arches repaired and the car resprayed a few years ago...

A few of us saw a mule passing through the Lotus HQ gates recently which sounded like it was the i4....
