Nope. And no inkling when I might...only the wall of silence. Thanks for asking.Have you still not gotten yours? Any updates?

Ok, that actually makes some sense. I'll give it a shot.Without foot on brake or clutch, hold start button for 5 sec. Next, put in Sport or Track mode. Next, turn on car by holding foot on brake.
Yes, like any other modern car, they all start in econo mode to pass emissions.But do you have to do this every time?
Do you want to start it because of the exhaust note? If so, wouldn’t the valve controller allow you to keep the valves up 100% of the time during start up?Is it possible to start the US-spec Emira in track mode? Thought I remember reading on here that you can start in track mode by first holding the mode select for 5 seconds or something like that.
Nice jacket! It's good to see that somebody liked my Emira badge idea. I created this back in October of 2021. We were all expecting our cars within a few months back then lol. Little did we know.Took delivery of my Emira today from Galpin Lotus. Awesome feeling. I was on the waitlist for about 2 years, and am pretty surprised I have it, it seems I'm relatively early to get one in the US. Thanks to this forum and everyone in here for providing some help and entertainment during the wait. If anyone has questions about the purchase experience, dealer stuff, etc, feel free to ask!
Also, surprisingly got given a Lotus jacket as a gift from Galpin. Honestly, pretty impressed. It's super high quality, not like much of the other random Lotus merch.
Terrible photos for now, will get some better ones.

Where can we source such a badge? To my eye, it looks like the Union Jack version is slightly elongated vs. the original. I would definitely pop for these if they were a direct replacement!Nice jacket! It's good to see that somebody liked my Emira badge idea. I created this back in October of 2021.

That's just a graphic image I created. It's a bit longer than the actual badge that's on the car, but I could adjust the imagery to fit within the actual size if somebody wants to have this made for real. I'm sure there's a company somewhere that could do it. If you find someone who can do it, let me know and I can send you a vector graphic file that they could use to make it with.Where can we source such a badge?

Nice jacket! Did Galpin say it's only for FE 1.0 or all FEs?Took delivery of my Emira today from Galpin Lotus. Awesome feeling.

They said something about it being only for the first few customers. Not sure how many, I'd take a guess it would be the first 30 ish. My car is a 2.0, so I guess its not just for 1.0 customers.. however my dealer said I was "the only 2.0 car they had received" which was most definitely a sales tactic.Nice jacket!

I am FE 2.0 as well and my car arrived at port on 3/26. They told me 2~3 weeks last week, hope they are right.

The jacket is made specifically for Galpin, it has giant "Galpin Lotus" lettering on the front. But I wouldn't doubt other big dealerships with some sway may have their own versions. It's honestly very high quality, made by the jacket company Jeff Hamilton, so probably costs like $400-$800 for regular purchase (I'm sure they got some deal or Lotus sent it directly to them or something).
Congrats! Trade you a Lotus pen and notebook for the jacket. Hell, I’ll even throw in a Lotus ball cap!Took delivery of my Emira today from Galpin Lotus. Awesome feeling.

It’s not, my vivid red 2.0 is waiting in their back lot. Posted about it a few pages ago.

I am FE 1.0, same boat arrived on March 26. My dealer does not have any updates regarding my car. I saw a DV Emira with silver wheel last week in the showroom, and the vin is one digit smaller than mine . It could be mine...I am FE 2.0 as well and my car arrived at port on 3/26.

Yea, I feel like the deck was shuffled, so to say. It's probably a little overwhelming trying to sort them all out for different dealers. There are cars at the back of the lot that belong to earlier depositors, I bet. Not ideal.My dealer received a car last week that came on the same boat as mine and the VIN is 2 digits behind me.
I think the tragic accident at Baltimore port, necessitating rerouting the cars to NJ before trucking them to Baltimore, is causing most of the chaos we have seen in vehicle delivery to the dealers. (The delay in CARB certification also plays a role for those us buying from CARB state dealers.)
