New member with first Czech Emira

Congratulations enjoy and have fun driving it.
BYW that’s my exact spec except I went with black calipers

Would be the optimal spec for me too. The yellow calipers don't match with Hethel Yellow. Ordered the car "blind" in Dec. 2021, long time before the very first Emira has been produced. But I'm absolutely satisfied with my new driving machine, the colour of the calipers is not so important ;-)

I guess the real seats are missing the center ribbing.

Noticed that too. Disappointed as was told they were on the alcantara seats as well as the leather and think they add to the seats.

Maybe they will be on the U.K. cars ……….

What we need is a Teams, or Facebook live streaming event so we can ask the questions in person and get the responses immediately

I would do this, but need a car to do it…

Beautiful spec. Odd the shift boot cover is not Alcantara like the rest of the interior. Yellow stitching the steering wheel will hopefully be an option down the line when it is finally my turn (next summer).

Steering wheel with yellow elements would be my choice too... but this option was available only for cars with automatic gearbox (and these cars are totally unavailable nowadays...)... so it is better to be satisfied with black stitching ;-)

It may be a nice detail but one day if you already have keys of your Emira in your hand such details will be absolutely unimportant!!! The Emira brings much much much more as the three stripes. You can get them at Adidas (much cheaper)!

The three stripes are also on Alcantara seats, but they are perforations (harder to see) and not embossed like on the leather seats. So the configurator image is a bit misleading.

I can't find any stripes on the seats of my actual Emira. See the photo.

I saw alcantara perforations on the preprod cars. 🤷‍♂️

Another 270 kms (odo: 570 kms) on roads "from nowhere to nowhere" driven today. Zero highway. Gear shift every 200 meters. The engine has a better sound than yesterday and feels more powerful. Can't wait to have 800 kms on the odometer to be allowed to use the sport/track mode and revs over 4500...

No creaks and rattles, ceiling falling, loose body panels, unknown bolts on the floor? So far so good!

I also imagine that brake calipers should be easy enough to swap out some day in the hopefully-near future.

Mufflers are like the stereo system, they have a break-in period as well. Will get a little louder as it gets opened up. Congrats on the car, very beautiful.

I also saw and was told this during my tour (perforation vs deboss because Alcantara can't be debossed)... Now I don't know what to think

A few photos of the Black Alcantara with Yellow Stitching and Black Alcantara Steering Wheel taken today. I love the combo with Hethel Yellow exterior paint!View attachment 9916View attachment 9917View attachment 9919

Is there a glass window between cockpit and engine？

Is there a glass window between cockpit and engine？

yes, it is there... can't imagine without it - temperature in the interior? safety?

Have the FE badges remained intact or scattered over the countryside roads?

all of them (left pillar, right pillar, dashboard) are at their original position + quality ;-) ... at least after the first 570 kms... did you notice a problem on another cars?

Could you please show the keycar comparing with a tobacco packet , or if you don’t smoke any phone or pen 🤣🤣

Be careful what you thinking

The ruler units are centimeters, not inches!!! ;-)))
But: it is big...

V Odd. Do hope they keep them but can’t see why EU and U.K. seats would be different. Have to wait until we see the demos 🤞🏻
