Japan - Who and Where are you? (エミーラ・ユーザー生息分布調査)

[ino]

People in Kanto region now can see seneca in LOTUS Tokorozawa.

Can’t wait anymore😂

Some info based on phone call today:

* Number of Emira First Edition is increased much. It’s over 600, which means over 3x of the initial announcement.

* Around the 600, and only small numbers can change body colour with new colours without any delay, but they are already told as MY 2025 order. 2025!! We are not even halfway of 2023 yet😂
I asked the dealer; Can I change my order to it? But they said no, for some reason. (Even if I could, I won’t because of the MY 2025.)

* Mine will be arrived in Japan in early July to early August, which is “soon”. But the delivery is depends on the PDI thing.

600!!! Wow, what an increase! I wonder how many of those orders are actual end-users instead of dealers. Model Year 2025 delivered in 2028 or so?

うへー！600ですか。自分は前半の後ろの方なのかなぁ。しかし600の内、実際にエンドユーザーが発注したのってどれくらいあるのだろう。2025年モデルって納車は2028年ぐらいだったりして。
船名と入港予定日が分かったら大黒ふ頭に見に行きますかｗ

I have no idea, but I think almost all are ordered by the dealers, IMO.
Hope they will be delivered until end of 2026. lol

#249が8月上旬との事なので、これから加速的に入ってくることと思われます。もちろんロータス次第ですが…。
その頃には対策部品も増えていると思われるので、以降PDIの通過も早くなると願いたいですね。
今移動手段が電車と自転車しかないのでなかなか大黒ふ頭は私は厳しいですね😅w

Manabu Kawaguchi (河口まなぶさん） reviewed Emira.

This is the only exterior and interior review, so no driving review yet. Maybe next week.

You can find how the buttons have killed around 12:20.

We can make left and right "EJECT" buttons now.

I’m in!
But my son got a pretty high fever from yesterday, so I will send a PM to virtualmacho-san if in the case I can’t go.

Update,
My son got Herpangina and forbidden to go out for few days, so I cannot go instead I have to take care of my family.
I really sorry for that, but hope you guys will have great time!

This is the word “LOTUS” written in phonetic Japanese katakana letters (ロータス)

This is a nice cafeteria restaurant in easy walking distance from Lotus Harajuku, Tokyo showroom (it is not related to Lotus Cars)

Did you hear anything new?

Did you hear anything new?

Unfortunately, no new news. As suspected, the Seneca Blue car (広報車) with the Shinagawa plates is the only car in Japan with plates at this time. Other cars will follow in the near future, but no dates were given.

On another note, for those of you with a requirement to get in and out of the car from the passenger side: I tried moving back and forth between the driver and passenger seats --- not as bad as I expected. 十分に可能でした。

Which colour did you prefer between DV and Seneca?

Although the not-cheap-at-all look of Seneca Blue was a pleasant surprise, I am 100% staying with my Dark Verdant order.
