    To tint or not to tint? 😎

    I want my Red interior to pop so no tint and I'm probably only parked outdoor under 20 hours a week.

    To PPF or not to PPF

    The PPF saved my Emira a month ago. Parked for 5 minutes to pickup takeout, did not notice till the next day. Luckily, the PPF took it all and the paint was fine after the shop removed the PPF so had the fender and spoiler rewrapped for $800. A repaint will probably cost the same or more and...

    What car is more beautiful than an Emira?

    308GTB for the win 😁. The Emira echos the lines pretty well.

    Lotus halt all delivery to the US.

    Before the tariff fiasco, getting your pdf mean that Lotus have confirmed that you have secured a place in the production queue for that production cycle.

    Lotus halt all delivery to the US.

    Damn, that's unexpected, guess they did switched over to base i4/SE production early during the uncertainty period on the tariff.

    Lotus halt all delivery to the US.

    When did you place the order, I know the base V6 order cutoff was Feb 15th and anything after that is not guaranteed.

    Lotus halt all delivery to the US.

    Do you have a PDF from Lotus confirming you spec and price?

    Lotus halt all delivery to the US.

    If you have already gotten the order PDF from Lotus with your detail spec and price, your car is probably already done and waiting for transport. It seems that Lotus already started limited production of the Turbo SE as a Dealer in Netherland have just gotten one.

    What did you do to your Emira today?

    Not what I did but what someone did to my car today. Well, it didn't look like it gone through the paint so the wrap more than paid for itself and probably not going to be much more than $1K to rewrap the fender. 😡

    Did your dealer provide you with an order acknowledgement pdf detailing your config and price.

    Lotus halt all delivery to the US.

    Sound like you actually missed the initial V6 base order and the dealer just took your deposit for a future build. Did you ever received the pdf from Lotus detailing your spec, if not, your order was not entered to Lotus., and will not be acknowledged until if and when US V6 base are scheduled...

    Lotus halt all delivery to the US.

    Do you have a V6 Base on order? Did you get a pdf order acknowledgement from Lotus with your order detail? Lotus did not stop production, (they may have slowed down a bit) so all V6 base that did not arrive before March 31st are either sitting at the docks or being build. Lotus is just waiting...

    Lotus halt all delivery to the US.

    Wouldn't you want the car you specified even if cost a bit more? Once they sign and seal the 10% deal. the net difference is going to be 7.5% increase on the invoice to dealer amount (probably ~$80K) so around $6K. I think that between Lotus and the dealer, they will absorb part of that so the...

    Thanks, at least we now know what they're related to even though we don't know the details.

    0ppm Water Filter worth it for detailing?

    Unless you live in a hot climate where residual water will evaporate in a minute. It won't work as the residual water will collect dust from the environment which will result in water spots/rings all over the car. That why even with a powered blower. it is still recommend to dry the remining...

    Software updates between Apr and May

    Went in to have the dealer adjust the alignment since it was pulling slightly to the right since I picked it up in Feb, Ask them to check it when I went in for 1K oil change in Apr but it was still pulling after. Got it back yesterday and it seems that there were 4 new updates between Apr 18 and...

    Lotus halt all delivery to the US.

    Figure around $80K so an additional $5-6K based on 7.5%

    Lotus halt all delivery to the US.

    What they wants to do and reality is 2 different thing. Lotus have also said that they wish to increase price on the Emira. It all depends on what other UK manufacturer like JLR does. higher Sale with less profit is still better than lower sales with higher profit as it helps to keep factory...

    UK auto tariff reduced to 10%

    Which is a 7.5% increase from the current 2.5%. That means the extra tariff amount will be somewhere between $5-6K and I assume that Lotus and their Dealers will absorb some of the cost which would probably results in a net increase in the $3-4k range over the current price. I expect Lotus will...

    Has anyone heard the Base audio system?

    You know those are artificially generated fake rear as pretty much only sound files pulled from blu-ray concert contains true multiple sound channels. Pretty much all the newer surround sound receivers have auto adjustment features to account for a large room environment with varies different...

    Has anyone heard the Base audio system?

    Why would you need a fader? Do you need a fader for your home sound system? Do you sit with your back towards the speakers at home? Do you have music files that is more than 2 channels?

    Has anyone heard the Base audio system?

    I guess it's source dependant. I have 24bit 48/96 files playing from a USB-C and it's actually uncomfortable above 65.
