I wonder if the trickle charger was just a FE thing. Would be nice if it came with base models also. Anyone who’s taken delivery of a base model know if cars come with the trickle charger?

Dealer is Eurocar in Socal. Yeah looks like Baltimore is the only port they come from, prob why it’ll take a while to come in. Progress at least.

Helps some actually, haha. I’m not going to cancel, too long a wait to start again. Deposit Feb 2024, order locked Nov 2024. Funny enough my parents this past weekend gave me a box of my old grade school stuff they kept so I could show my girls. Came across a project from high school and saw...

No way!!! It’s not in this boat either, aaaahhhh!

Same here man. Refreshing this thread daily hoping Nova updates the spreadsheet haha, which by the way, thanks @Nova for keeping this updated even now that you have your car. Very much appreciated.

Thanks all, I guess a simple prep wash should be fine.

Now that car will be arriving soon, should I ask eurocar not to wash it? I’ve read in here that dealers may inadvertently place swirl marks on the paint while prepping car for pick up. I’ll be driving straight to PFS.

Appreciate the offer but I’m dead set on my spec, V6MT shadow grey lower black pack, black rims, red interior, at least now that shipments have resumed it’s just a matter of time

Did yours ship in after tariffs?

7k increase for me

No way, mines not there, skipped from 10939 to 10941. Hopefully next boat, fingers crossed.

Same lol. Wife said just get it. As long as it doesn’t affect our savings, girls 529’s. I’ve got an EVO X and a C63s. The Emira will be my third car. I always grow attached to my vehicles, they all offer something different. I’ve got 2 girls and each will be able to drive one of my other cars...

Nice! What dealer did you order through?

Was yours held up overseas due to tariffs? If so I’m in the same situation. My dealer hasn’t really provided any timeline. They had me confirm intent to purchase a month ago, also gave me a VIN but no updates since.

Car is finally heading over after tariff delays. Now planning for PPF. I’m leaning towards PFS given overall positive feedback with multiple data points and proximity to my dealer (Eurocar). For those who have had their cars done via PFS, how’s your PPF job holding up? Any issues or concerns...

This is exactly what I was told and it looks like your price also went up 7k so at least that’s consistent. I went ahead and confirmed intent to purchase. I’ve been waiting for this thing since announced and waited to place a deposit until shipping started early last year. I’m getting mine from...

Given current tariff rates only 7.5% higher than previous, and my price went up 6.4%, looks like Lotus didn’t absorb any of the tariff as lotus USA gets the car for well under MSRP at port. I’m ok with this. Though I wish I knew what that assessed value at port is. I can’t help but wonder if the...

7k increase or 6.4% over original MSRP

Looks like a 7000 dollar increase or 6.4% more on MSRP pricing

Just got a call and follow up text with pricing

just got this from my dealer

At this point I’d rather have a pending MY2026 build. I confirmed my build w/ PDF Nov2024 so I’m assuming its finished just sitting overseas.

Agree. As our cars start rolling in we should keep each other posted on price adjustments to avoid getting shafted. I’m hoping Lotus absorbs some of the cost but unlikely.

Hope it’s not 10% more than already agreed on as the duty was prev 2.5, now 10, a 7.5 bump but that’s prob on what the dealer gets them for and not on the MSRP. Never considered the scenario dealers may use the tariffs as an excuse to squeeze a few more dollars out of us. We should keep each...

Hopefully things will start moving soon! https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/jun/16/starmer-and-trump-finalise-uk-us-trade-deal-at-g7-but-steel-tariffs-still-on-hold

Really hope this is true. I just emailed my dealer last week and they replied today stating no new news from lotus.

My understanding is no shipments have come in since tariffs. My build was locked/submitted November, in production start of March. I was hoping to be on one of the boats that got in before tariffs but doesn’t seem to be the case. Prob just sitting across the pond waiting for the details of the...

“The deal recently agreed between the UK and US to lower those tariffs to 10% has helped Lotus, but Windle has yet to press go on restarting shipments to the US as he waits for the details. "The headline numbers have gone out there, but actually the specifics behind it still haven't been...

How long would a vehicle be “locked in production” for? I was told this start of March. I assume car is built and sitting across the Atlantic until tarrif issues settled somehow, but my dealer is unable to verify and no VIN.

Crossing my fingers the 90 day pause in tariffs includes the 25% on autos from the UK. Can’t find a source that clarifies what this pause does include. Seems like a blanket 10% tariff is still on.
