    They were NOT happy about the pictures being posted. Was in town for work and had some spare time - stopped by the dealer to see these cars. I showed them my locked-in order, I was allowed to see the cars but I was told keep a safe distance, no touching (duh), and ABSOLUTELY no pictures...

    Race to the first i4

    Did your dealer have you lock in with a build code, etc.? That's the part that got me - excited texts requesting the build code, screen shots of Lotus accepting the order with promises of Feb. '24 delivery, but never receiving the email with build/delivery months ("you'll get that after Oct...

    USA/Canada Delivery Thread

    OK, this is a good explanation, thank you - based on my reading, for Lotus and the Emira we are talking about DevSecOps and data protection to ensure safe operability of the software and protection of PII. Not, for any OTA security. So then the question becomes would this role be posted for the...

    An automotive engineer who is an expert on emissions certification, sure, but add on cyber security practitioner - agree, you would be lucky to find 100. Right now, the US has a shortage of 4M security professionals to fill available jobs according to ISC2. So the cyber security "desirable" is...

    USA/Canada Delivery Thread

    It occurs to me that "delivered" seems quite amorphous. For example, if the units are "delivered" to a NA port it would be elementary to declare "..but not delivered to dealers". Furthermore, if by happenstance said vehicles are "delivered" to the NA dealers, again a very perceptible response...

    Here is the response....no confirmation, and threw out another possibility.. He is referring to Lotus US when mentioning "getting our rep to divulge". However, I do know he is in regular contact with the UK as well..

    Emira front ground clearance

    From the pictures @Balboa posted - could these (red circles) be the "hockey pucks" of which you speak? They seem to close to the nose to be jack points.. Harder to see in the full frontal photo, but they are visible..

    Quick question - do we know the allocation breakdown? Are the 700 all v6, or is there an i4 percentage in that 700? Just don't think I ever heard a version number breakdown on the US allocations.

    How many errors can you spot? Lotus Of NJ article

    Spoke with Summit NJ first when I was investigating dealers. Very condescending, until they knew I had funds, didn't even want to send me the reservation paperwork. Funny part was when I spelled my name for the 3rd time and added "..spelled the same as the hotel in Paris" their attitude did a...

    Race to the first i4

    @Andy H got me reading - didn't realize this idea of "subscriptions" was so prolific.. "BMW is charging monthly subscriptions for heated seats, heated steering wheel, adaptive cruise control (Driving Assistant Plus), auto high beams, and the built in dash cam (Drive Recorder). Subscription...

    Like a subscription? Other than Tesla with charging for self-drive I don't think I have ever seen a manufacturer deliver something like adaptive cruise in a subscription model - I could be wrong though..

    I don't think I have seen a picture of a delivered i4 (China obviously) w/o the ADAS pod in the front grill - doesn't mean it has the functionality, but I would assume a future software update could include the features? I will say the pod does give it a little bit of a Mater look, but not sure...

    anyone else worried about the negative attention? or has already received negative attention?

    Happening in gated communities out in Leesburg too.. Mostly taking cash (change), anything of value in the center/glove boxes, and $50/per gate remotes for the community. Got hit once, they nicely left my badge on a belt clip but took everything else of value. (yes, I was tired and left the door...

    What's going to be the next step?

    Same here (Florida) on a walk away. Albeit once the car is delivered (to their lot) you will forfeit your $2500 on a walk away. However, the $2500 reservation deposit are the only up-front funds required from reservation to delivery.

    No OTA?

    My Jeep Wrangler receives OTA updates and they are a god-send over having to sit at the dealership for hours on end waiting for them to run an update that takes 40 min. The updates include both infotainment and features. Moreover, IF I want to run myself I can use a memory card or USB to...

    No OTA?

    The way I am reading the manual, specifically the attached paragraph, is that there is no OTA and the Emira will have to taken to a dealership for any software updates. Has anyone heard different?
