Every single thing that's happened with UK order and ownership experience these past few years has and will continue to happen to North American vehicles. From delay communications to initial bugs and issues. They may have software updates available but the communication from Lotus UK and Geely...

Absolutely insane. I've never seen anything like this. I've crossed that bridge many times as well. 🤯

I'll be in Costa Rica and staying far away from screens that last week of April, but I'll be sure to join the next one. Thanks for setting this up. Great chatting with everyone last night! 🤙🏼🦥 🏝️

Thanks for setting it up! Porter, MIGZ, and I stayed on a bit longer and decided to host these monthly for anyone interested.

Welcome to the party @Jimbo$lice 🤙🏼

It may be less expensive, but I've heard horror stories about Lotus windshield replacements in the past. Sometimes taking many months to source one. This was one of my biggest fears.. taking delivery and then having a rock crack the windshield on the way home and being unable to get it through...

I really doubt it... but following this thread for confirmation. I can't even find a part number for the oem glass. Maybe one of our resident sleuths can.... @kitkat @Porter??

Agreed! I see a Lotus in the wild maybe 2-3 times a year (not counting C&C meets or track days). I posted some more interesting production number stats here:

I'm down :cool:

The visible light transmission (VLT) of the privacy glass is 24.5%. The tailgate glass lets in 6% UV light and the rear three quarter windows allow 7.1% UV. source

Like this 😉📌

Classic JDM spec! Love it. Order some TE37s and you're all set. :cool:🔰

Welcome to the forum @tvacc! The Glen is such a great track and I was lucky enough to get my Evora GT on it last year. I may reach out about this event.

Wow, yeah, that's a no go for me too. I drive and travel with my car as much as possible! Imagine overlooking that stipulation and trying to file a claim just to be denied because it was parked overnight at a resort or hotel somewhere. 🤯

This is so crazy to me. Hagerty quoted me $2568 for my Evora GT. No accidents, no tickets, and perfect credit. :rolleyes:

Oh my.. 😍

Probably.. Emira buyers will be lucky to choose their own steering wheel stitching colors. 😂 We'll see.

LG = Lotus Good? Lotus Geely? Here's my fridge flair:

Dibs on a Verde Ithaca Emira S/R/GT! 😉 https://www.pistonheads.com/news/electric-vehicles/lotus-chapman-bespoke-launched-in-china/48331

Awesome spec! Welcome to the forum @skydude 🤙🏼

Looks pretty worn. Maybe your shoe picked it up from the street somewhere?

I'd say price (initial cost and maintenance) and driver engagement. Not many supercars are offered with a manual transmission or hydraulic steering these days. The Emira also has the supercar looks and one of the most beautiful vehicles made right now.

If the poor customer communication throughout the past ~2.5 years is any indication, I think it's pretty obvious who is to blame. Lotus could barely compose an email. There was also a job posting at Hethel for a Principal Engineer Type Approval (Emissions) during Q4 2023.

US spec cars don't have rear fogs.

Some folks have installed them on Evoras with good results. They do what they're advertised to do, but it is a good bit of work to disassemble the strut/spring assembly to install the lowering cups. Some opt to just go with aftermarket coilovers since they're easier to swap and dial in without...

I think you mean the 718 Spyder RS (vs the GT4RS)..? The Spyder is a fantastic car. The only thing I don't like is the manual soft top. It's so tedious and silly on a car that price. They do look awesome though!

It'll be $1k+. All aftermarket modifications can potentially void the power train warranty.

Congrats @silent cilantro and @Porter!!! 🎉

Maybe if Geely acquires Konami 😂

Glad it's being covered. Thanks for the update!

The chassis is stiff enough that you can jack up a side (like the front passenger) and then slide a jack stand under the rear lifting point on the same side (or the other way around).

Interesting.. China doesn't allow owners to change their wheel diameter from the stock size? Let's see the forged wheels you ordered.. Where'd you get them?

Reminds me of the infamous reddit locked safe post. 😂

Only $1.5-3m each. I'd rather have 15 Emira. That way I'd always have a steady parts supply. :LOL:

Right!? And talk about an exposed shifter... 🤩

That 33 Stradale is awesome for sure. The Kimera EVO is probably my choice.. That thing is just so freakin cool. Another dream would be one of these De Tomasos...

Thanks for joining! And congrats on your order. Not sure you'll get the gift package though, but you'll always have us. 😛

Awesome spec!! Congrats 😍

Brave man taking that into the Home Depot lot! Not sure about yours, but mine is filled with rouge carts and nails. 😬
