    USA/Canada Delivery Thread

    Just adding that the fact Lotus DID NOT supply a manual, and in fact many were not provided with a current link to download the manual, and also the ROW (U.K.) manual is NOT consistent regarding break-in procedures.. - all of this puts Lotus in a weird and likely unwanted position if a failure...

    Tobias, if you’ve know about this since February, why haven’t you moved on it?

    Emira Full Handbook

    I’m looking forward to the UK version as it will teach me the proper pronunciation of words such as aluminum (aloo-mineum) and schedule (shed-jule) as they never taught us correctly in American schools (shools?).

    Article about stick shifts - my new most disliked writer

    Here's what I tried to post in the comments section and was rejected - of course: What an absolutely pathetic excuse for a "news article". Paul Hockenos' error plagued POS is made so much worse by his pathetic attempt to link the joy of driving with overdone machismo. Why do you take umbrage to...

    New owner perspective

    You're correct that a lot of the interior components are shared with Volvo as both use controls from Lynk & Co. THERE IS an easy swap available to go from the tactile steering wheel controls to hard buttons (which as you point out makes way more sense). I've attached a picture, and more info...

    is Emira a SuperCar?

    It's all about the personal experience a car brings, not the informal classification. Every car I have owned provided something unique (except for the 1987 Buick Skyhawk, that thing was a total POS).

    Port of Baltimore Closed as bridge collapses

    Clearly there is a much greater concern here for human life than car deliveries, but posting as it is relevant. https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/baltimore-bridge-collapse-03-26-24-intl-hnk/index.html

    Short shift kit by Forge Motorsport

    No problem with you guys providing details on your product as we all appreciate options and welcome your support of the Lotus community, but I do feel your reply is out of place and honestly hijacks the OPs original post and intent. Maybe a separate post?

    I got a NEW car with USED keys ??

    Would really like to know the backstory as to how those keys got beaten up so badly? I mean, did someone drop them in a blender on purpose? I hope the car didn't show 20-miles on it at delivery.....

    It's an ice grey interior, and as some have noted above is priced less than an FE 2.0 out the door.

    Absolute work of art! What a stunning vehicle that I had no idea existed. Thanks for enlightening!

    Mine was tacked onto the sticker price. I suspect that was the case for most as it is a mandatory Lotus fee.

    Nope. Well, the 2.0 exclusivity fee but nothing more.

    I know of 10,250 reasons why the FE 1.0s are superior to the 2.0s - equal to a very nice week or two in the Caribbean, 10-days at the Skip Barber Formula 1 Racing School, 7-years of insurance coverage, 64 bottles of Caymus + 976 bottles of St. Bernardus 12, or 40-hrs of psychotherapy to deal...

    Great Deal On Tires (stock size)

    This is a Tire Rack deal. Also, price is BEFORE a $70 rebate and free shipping so actually even cheaper. I've run them on a 911 before and they perform well. Compared to others, a decent tire life for a soft compound tire.
