World's first Emira customer delivery?

[VL3X]

Send pictures and in depth review
So I’m thinking you took delivery of an auto and a manual 😂
Wonder who got the third one

I meant that was my IG post you shared a screenshot from. I'm in the US and not scheduled for a delivery now until ~March or April at the earliest.

I thought that a Belgium dealer had 2 demo cars delivered last week. 🤔

I think the other Antwerp car (Dark Verdant) has already been handed over?

I'm surprised Lotus PR haven't got a photographer there to do a photoshoot and social media posts about the handover. Maybe that's coming later in the week.

Still puzzled what happened to this car, supposedly the first customer car and RHD and finished on 10 June:

Makes me wonder when these customers put there deposits down. IE pre launch, around launch or after launch. I know, like myself, many on here are pre launch.

If it's who I think, then at least one of them was a long way pre-reveal

Until I see a car physically in the customer hands, it's still anyone's game at this point. Here's another contender for "World's First Customer Emira Delivery", posted 4 hours ago. Waiting to hear where this one is headed! The hashtags look Italian if that's any clue...

This one is going to Sainz or Leclerc ahead of Monza. Lotus is expected to be more reliable than their Ferrari. Heck even the
Pit stops and strategy would be miles better.

Any way to get this customer to write a post on here once they take delivery? 😄

That’s my exact specific ……. Apart from steering wheel side!

Isn’t that the one just delivered to Torino Gino (Turin)?

Ah, it could very well be. I guess I assumed that it was a different car because this was only posted today.

@TomE , how come they changed your wheels to black, and most importantly, why are you getting it delivered in Italy, did you choose holiday delivery?

 

[TomE]

I figured as Lotus said home or any other preferred location, I'd get them to drop it the far side of the Alps and have a nice scenic drive back home to clock up the running in mileage

There's the small matter of the steering wheel being on the wrong side too

Seriously, I'm really rooting for the UK depositors to get their justly deserved news.
Don't keep me waiting too long!

I knew it! 🤣

Don't worry about the steering wheel, it's a minor issue, just bring the window down and keep checking the wheel gap as it lowers with miles! On the way back do a stopover in Bilbao and we'll handle the steering after a few!

Shouldn't "Condition" now say "Used"?

Must dig deeper. WHO drove that 1st mile? Check the drivers seat for DNA. We have questions.
