I would personally be steering clear of any early builds too (a philosophy that applies to all cars, not just Lotus), I know not all the issues will necessarily be resolved yet on newer builds, but would expect a lot of the early teething troubles to be gone on more recent ones - History has...

Yeah, agree is a nice bonus, though can't help but think they missed a bit of a trick here, as they could have made much more of a song a dance about it... But then the whole customer engagement comms has been a miss hasn't it!!

My factory collection is arranged for Monday 25th, just need to sort insurance, really looking forward to doing the factory tour again, although glad we did a tour last year, as sure I won't be paying 100% attention, will be too busy thinking about picking the car up at the end!! Can confirm I...

I'm going to hazard a guess they are referring to the I4 2.0 AMG engine... Based on the "manual transmission" in this: "there are NO 2.0's that will be delivered before the manual transmission Launch Editions"

I had a look today - Similar results with Admiral and it's child companies giving prices - Going through car selections (no vehicle reg available yet), can get details to show 2L 359HP, but title lists as V6 still, so assume there are still some listing issues they need to get resolved. Prices...

Above all else, Do... Not... Wear... Denim!

And to give an opposite view... I say it'd look weird to my eye, especially with the black window surrounds... But, I love that we all have different tastes, really looking forward to seeing all different specs on the road... You do what you want, don't worry so much what other people think!

Not PPFing, have had issues in the past with PPF, planning on keeping my car for MANY years, and the thought of peeling edges, dirty edges, potential for shrinkage, then the faff of having to remove and refit various bits at some point, just isn't appealing. But if you want to do it, go for it...

I got the call from Lotus Hethel today - Penned-in for collection on the 25th March (with factory tour). Just waiting for the finance team to contact me and get paperwork all sorted now... It's really happening! 😁

Likelihood of usb port itself being intermittent = unlikely (likelihood of usb port in a lotus being intermittent = some might suggest somewhat more likely, but I'll still put it in the unlikely bracket); likelihood of a 5V to 12V mini transformer not being able to supply the required amps from...

Personal preferences and all that, but I do think Meridian Blue looks much better in person than in pictures... Don't think you will be disappointed 👍

Yes it is, looks great in person, quite difficult to capture accurately in pictures - think you already seen the other pics I posted here

The dealer demos are certainly not limited to Tour for their break-in, and I doubt Lotus would void warranty on ex-demo cars, plus the fact that info is only found hundreds of pages in on an online document, then I won't be sticking to Tour only (although will be staying away from track mode).

Seen a Meridian Blue Emira for the first time in person today at Bell & Colvill... Weather was fairly sunny (for the UK!). Looked more blue that I expected, and some nice metallic sparkle.

I took a trip over there today - Lots of lovely Emiras, some V6 (both Manual and Auto), some I4... And quite a few in Seneca Blue 💙

I've not heard anything else this week since 'completing checkout', don't know if it is because I selected factory pickup, or because I will be financing, or both 🤷🏻‍♂️, hey-ho, will see if any update next week. Might take a little trip over to B&C to have a look at their cars - No strong...

This is really helpful. Glad to see not much difference in camber settings between sport and touring. Front toe differences are interesting, gives some food for thought.

I *think* the email is supposed to be for the I4, but when you click through you can then select from the 'Eletre', 'Emira V6' or 'Emira First Edition' (which I am assuming is the I4)... Unsurprisingly, the written comms and the systems behind the booking system are shockingly bad.

That's clearly the next step... involving human intervention no doubt - hopefully won't take too long! 🤞 Although, apparently I have paid (nope, I really haven't!!)... Didn't expect their systems to give accurate information though, I suppose, not after the (poor state of / lack of) information...

System issues were obviously sorted out... Checkout now complete and order confirmed... Excited! 😃

Some things have 'changed' in my order page, but Complete Checkout is still greyed out for me... Apparently I "will be able to complete the purchase of your vehicle from Tuesday, 3 October 2023"!?!?! (Oh, and I do have a VIN listed now, didn't before today)

LOVE your spec! 😍 ... Iconic, perhaps?

Yep, greyed out for me still too... Who would have thought Lotus can't get the comms aligned with the system?!?! 😐

Also, no mention of 3 year service plan for me, wonder if that is dealer specific? (I am B&C, though was planning on factory pickup still)

Haven't tried logging it yet, will see later what shows in my account

I just received this email - looks like all UK I4 orders are being progressed now...
