1. The side-view mirrors reset to a very unintuitive position every time I start the car (facing kind of inwards), even if I adjust them outwards and then save my current seating position. Kind of annoying to have to adjust them every time. 2. Carplay outright wont connect. The phone connects to...

Very happy to hear no ADM, thats been my main concern for a while now, but I'm going through Zack for this as well so unless he has something against me specifically then I guess I should be all good.

Well, finally got the call that my car is being loaded up. Estimate is 7-10 days. With my luck it'll probably get sucked into a tornado on the way here.

Damn, what an absolutely gorgeous color combo. I love Hethel Yellow but I really wish this blue had been available for the 1.0 orders, probably would've been my choice.

Also any updates on availability? I want a set of these maybe more than I want the car itself...

Well, when you put it that way... maybe its not that frustrating.

Exciting, but also kinda frustrating. July 2021 order through them, FE1.0, was on the same boat as yours. Still no correspondence. Which means its probably not in the first delivery.

I feel like that's pretty standard behavior though no? My M4 was the same way, GTR is the same way. Most sports cars I've driven default to a particular drive mode on start, regardless of what it was in when turned off.

April 20th. This has no basis in logic or reason, I'm just trying to will it into existence because I want my damn car already.

Sometimes I feel very blessed that my primary experience with manual cars is in a C5 Z06. That shifter felt like I was dragging it through a bag of spoons half the time, and sometimes just decided it wasn't going into gear until I went back into neutral and pumped the clutch. Compared to that...

Lotuses in general tend to hold their value pretty well, and its clear the V6 Emira isn't going to have as much of a production run as they anticipated just due to Lotus's uh... I don't want to say incompetence, but I can't think of another word, so I think long term it'll either stay high or...

I guess one additional question, does this include paint correction and polish, or is that something I'd need to get done at another shop first?

Its become a joke amongst my family and friends at this point, I don't think they even believe this car exists.

What would the price be for wrapping the full car in clear or frozen PPF? And what brand film do you guys use?

I remember thinking the wait was almost over at that point. How naïve.

I mean its pretty rare so far, I've had one reserved for almost three years and I still haven't seen one outside of the demo car I drove... some number of years ago? Joking aside, this is a very low production count car relatively speaking, and keep in mind that over time a good percentage of...

You seem to have some insider knowledge, can you give me an exact day this is going to happen so I can throw my entire life savings into appropriately timed SPY puts?

I'm reserved through EuroCar, so I appreciate you doing the due diligence on this. I've been worried about them tacking on 10k at the last second. Fortunately I tracked down an email they sent out in March of last year saying that at least FE1.0 reservation holders were price-locked at 93.9k...

Just got mine, Southern California. I kinda wish the key fob was in the color of your car. Unless I'm getting a black one which would be quite the surprise...

The common denominator is dealerships suck, and its up to complete chance if you get someone who is helpful, or a response at all. I didn't even email EuroCar directly, I went through Lotus's reservation website, and I guess I got assigned to them automatically based on my zip code. Yep, that's...

Except they already have my money, in the form of a deposit? The least they could do is send the occasional email. The bar is THAT low. At the end of the day they're parasites. Its a completely obsolete job at this stage, and they only serve to skim extra cash off the top of an otherwise simple...

Pretty much the only feedback I can give is they've been completely useless since Laura left. No updates, no responses, and when I've called or visited they've given me vague info that is less useful than what I had found on these forums already. Then when dates and deadlines they gave me...

I've had the same experience with EuroCarOC. No updates or even acknowledgement of the delays, ignored emails, didn't even bother to let me know when the original person handling my order left and a new one was brought in. If they opt for the last second markup, I dunno. It's gonna get nasty.

Unless your dealership decides to add a 10-20k markup to bring it in line with "market value"...

Are you going through EuroCarOC? I got the same thing from them.

Anyone got any confirmed Emiras arriving on the west coast? So far it seems like its mostly east coast and some centrally located dealers. I called my dealership a couple weeks ago and they said they'd be getting them soon, but nothing yet.
