Why so many issues, it’s frustrating to hear. It’s like Ferrari in the 1980’s and early 90s.
USA/Canada Delivery Thread
- Thread starter supersix
- Start date
probably from sitting out in damp weather for months. Thing that probably wouldn't happen if the car was driven regularly.
Owned a few and last one was an Evora not my first Lotus Rodeo just wished they improved quality control. .
I still have this
I'm in Montreal and received an email in January saying that my order was in production and just weeks away from being shipped - and that they were sending my a gift... never got anything. I then spoke to my dealer who said it should finally be on the boat in April to be delivered in May. I'll reach out to Maffu313 to see how much he got charged for T&P
I agree - I think that's exactly what's happening. I've asked them to share the manufacturer's invoice (hiding their actual cost of the car) to prove that the $5000 is what they're being charged by Lotus for PDI but got no response. Do you know if the PDI is a charge that comes 100% from and billed by Lotus or there are discretionary parts of the PDI that's determined at the Lotus dealer's discretion ?
Hi Jay, is that the proforma estimate you got from Scotti or you actually took delivery of your car already and that's actually what they charged you ? I'm supposed to get mine any week now, if you actually got yours, how long ago did you take delivery and when did you place your order ?

Yeah, no gifts for Canadians. Don’t even want it unless it was the book and they didn’t have to send anything but what a pathetic company to send us an email with more lies - if they didn’t plan to then they either should now or at the least send an email apologizing for the mistake but nope. Just shows how reckless they may be when it comes to anything.
That’s nice that they let you know it was in production in January. Don’t think many people got told that unless they were asking. Sounds like your dealer was relaying the same tidbit that they plan to ship a large batch in April implying May delivery but no official word it’s happening. I guess we’ll wait for @Nova next update whether or not the current boat en route from Halifax has any Emiras since Lotus won’t tell the dealers lol.

Back in dealer after 500k. Limp mode. Or ‘Engine Reduced Acceleration’ . Camshaft position sensor codes, O2 sensor codes, damage to leather and interior . Waiting for parts from US - new cats, cam and O2 sensors ETA at least 2 weeks after 2+ years of waiting with either no or farcical communication. Still I had those 500km of sub 4K RPM driving to enjoy.
I’ll let you draw your conclusions on this as an ‘experience’ .
My first Mosport day chasing my friends in their Porsches is now going to see me bumming a ride in their P cars.
If you want an art installation (that you can visit at the dealer) get an Emira.
If you want a viable trackable road car. Walk up the road and buy a used GT4.

PDI is a service performed by the dealer on behalf of the manufacturer, and it is typically charged back to the manufacturer as a warranty claim.
I’m pulling for you guys north of the border! Lotus has got to realize what a cluster-f$@k they created that they have even pushed Canadian patience.

Still a no for my VIN... sorry @DF_Toronto looks like mine and yours will be on a different boat... Hopefully SOOOON
Really sort-a surprised that touring is in the lead for order #'s. I was expecting the opposite
If a softer road suspension, with lean in the corners, is good enough for Gordon Murray, it’s good enough for me. I went touring
.Things you think about when you've heard nothing about your car that landed in March: Is something so wrong they aren't telling me? Do the steering pump/HVAC/brake pad problems come from sitting wherever the car is? Sould I order a case of ACF50? Has anybody at Bellevue Lotus called anybody anywhere and said "Hey. How about loading this guy's car next after all these years?" I'm sure all will be well when the car arrives but still. Meanwhile my kid made me this...

Nice. You owe a first ride.
Reminds me when I had to console myself with Hot Wheel Emiras.
Sounds like these cars usage will be more towards dailies than track or weekend canyon carvers. My wife has a company car, but the Emira will be her personal daily, so she chose touring as well.
Shmee also remarked that had he known his Emira would become his daily, he wished he would have chosen touring instead of sport.
