Happy Two Year Anniversary to all the 7/7 Waitlist Deposit Holders coming this Friday. Thank you to all who made this forum possible; @digilotus @Dragoon @supersix @TomE @VL3X 1,833 members strong, this has been a long two years, but this forum has been my sole place to go for...

Got the 4 wheel and hood emblems in black so far. I may get a parts list and slowly build from here… ;) Golf ball added for scale, angle of pic may be a bit odd, but the center one is larger for the hood. #ForTheBuilders

Interested in the group’s collective decisions. What are your 1-2 main reasons for selecting the Emira to be in your stable? Aka “What gotcha?”

It’s been a bit. Since November of 2022 this forum has grown by 33%! In the early days there was no face palm emoji. Today there is. Amazing. Thank you for that! I heard it may actually be the new Lotus logo. No just kidding! The cars are phenomenal and all the info (on this forum) is...

They spelled @TomE’s name wrong on his GT4! Nearly right. Upside down. #ForTheDelayInducedBoredom

An earlier poll from November of 2021 showed that just over half of us were opting for the full black pack. Anyone going without protection?

Anyone have any plans? Many 7/7/21 deposits… Lots happened in the last year. Still no official DV photos published from Lotus though. Hahaha Maybe Lotus is planning something big for the one year anniversary of the unveiling? Maybe not but now they have a couple weeks to put it together and...

What percentage of deposits do you think were rescinded after these initial reviews? How many “dropped out”?

Wondering. What is our primary reason for putting a deposit down or ordering/wanting to order? Looks Performance

Wondering how many folks are thinking about making zero changes except to adding gas vs how many people are going to make changes and also how many or what kind? I’m leaning pure or maybe ppf/ceramic. I just don’t like having to do things to a car after purchase…

Lotus could do this easily…

#ForTheWorstMarketing

This is what the dealer gets and is on the US order form pdf- Order Entry Overview: All orders MUST be accompanied by a previously approved Lotus Emira Order Request submission ID with the corresponding customer information. This must be the same customer identified on the RDR when the unit...

We know this is the carpet reflection but #JustSayin… That does look classy. #ForTheStripe

Not important or urgent at all but just wondering. With Lotus shipping (likely way more) vehicles to the US than prior years… How did they do it all these years? Will it be the same method just more? Everything enclosed or open car carriers once landed? Again, not urgent or what not, just...

Who on this forum can, without the use of any technology, just senses: 1. Tell the difference between 380hp and 420hp? 2. Tell the difference between a 10 speaker system and a 12? Assuming all other things that can be equal are equal. 3. Tell the difference between a 4.2 0-60 and a 4.4 0-60...

3 kinds of value right? 1. Dollars or Pounds. $ or #/£. What do we think a like-optioned Base V6 will be compared to FE? 2. That Badge. Dang that Badge. Having a “First Edition” which we don’t officially fully know the meaning of. What do we think that means? 3. #Early Having something...

The year was 2022 and all across the globe people are talking about; war, gas prices, not the Olympics, and yes, still whatever Kanye West is doing. Grappled by the potential collapse of the world many car manufacturers, especially those already focused on EV, are already hiking up their...

Got me excited to see this one again.

Is there a sweet little binoculars looking button for that? Like in the Evora?

Hi. Yes, Lotus folks read this. I think a few folks would vote for a start over in the US. Like “Hey we had this down based on Evora sales and we didn’t anticipate this strong of a desire. So in an effort to get it right ahead of our IPO we are going to use our mulligan and start fresh...

Hi everyone. Thank you all so much for being like a group of dads in the waiting room at the hospital with me. That was a fun (insert #) months wasn’t it? There are some mammals that take that long right? #Google All the speculation and waiting was worth it right all? Yeah communication...

Big. Miss. #ForTheMiss 1. This insinuates (to me at least) that there is some sort of monthly update. There hasn’t been. 2. Three things in the email. A. Advanced Performance B. Type 132 C. Emira Japan We know even less about 2/3 of these items now with this “update” and simply have more...

As the proud owner of the only 2018 Racing Green Manual Evora in the United States, I was reminded that this vehicle needs to be plugged in likes it’s an EV anyway… So I went to Autozone and got a new battery having forgotten to plug it in. Anyone know the Emira battery situation? 1. Plug...

@Dragoon @El Chorizo @Vroom @supersix These folks have made all of this possible, in what has been a flawless technical experience, that has been so enjoyable for so many of us. Thank you all so much for putting this together, keeping it so solid, and making sure we can be both fun &...

Seeing lots of posts using these terms interchangeably. Especially US posts. Deposit: someone gave a dealer money ($2,500 for example) to potentially secure a “spot in line*”. Order: hasn’t happened yet (in the US). Someone gave a dealer their final spec and the dealer sent it in to Lotus...

https://www.ducati.com/us/en/news/introducing-ducati-unica-no-other-ducati-in-the-world-like-yours Oh boy.

@Eagle7 - We appreciate you. Now your renders will become more legendary as requests for wraps and odd color combinations come up. Until then, thank you for having kept us attentive and participating. You activated us as an audience and we value your time investment in us greatly! Take a...

So there are a few hundred people on the planet. One group of a few hundred go to bed each night and wake up the next morning to go to work and learn how to help build a new car. The other group wakes up and awaits information from the first group on the details of that car. Some even know...

Deposit 7/7/2021 in the US. Zero calls. One email. “Priority Customer”… #ForThePatient

Deposit 7/7/2021 Last Email 10/21/2021 “…as an Emira Priority Customer…” It’s been 78 days since any proactive communication. :) I’d hate to be a non-priority… #ForThePriorityCustomers

Made you look. Going on 2+ months without a call or email from Lotus America. Bad News: Still don’t know how the line works. Good News: Grabbed all sorts of popcorn to watch the UK roll-out and see how that all goes. Should be a fun time learning. :)

Lotus America said we’d be first to know about important updates and orders would be taken in the Fall. Last communication I received was 60 days ago. I am so glad this forum exists as it is 99% of the communication I’ve received. Thank you all so much!

Was just behind a Vette and it had that digital rear view mirror. Video camera input. Pretty nifty. Guessing that is mainly due to the rear window size and it’s uselessness for the most part. Aftermarket or option? Emira option?

Which is your favorite? Mine? Twin cup holders for sure.

Imagine if any of this is actually true. This would be the dumbest thing Lotus could do in the US. Absolutely 0 people would care about a $1k-$2k shipping charge for an FE if they knew they could find a random dealer within the US and get the car earlier or sooner. Either the country has...

Have you ever found yourself seeing everyday items in just the 6 FE offered colors? Do you see “red” and think “This is not just red folks. This is Magma Red”? Good news, you’re not alone. It’s been well-documented and now has a name. Colorconfiguratoritis. It has saturated the traditional...
