The tariffs only apply to vehicles that arrive stateside after 12:01am eastern daylight time on April 3rd according to the White House website.

Mine looks very similar. They compliment each other very well. Although I've caught myself driving the Emira about twice as much as I had planned in my first year of ownership... it's just too fun!

I'll be coming back to this post in 6 months and seeing if you are correct. This is an interesting (and very risky) experiment the current administration is playing with the world economy. In my limited amount of research on the history of tariffs in the US, I've yet to see an example where they...

Agree with all the above posts except disagree that the Emira is "more fun" than a Tesla or any EV. I'd argue they're both equally fun, just in entirely different ways and use cases. I got the first Model 3 Performance delivered to Florida back in July 2018 and drove it exclusively for 6 years...

It's only maybe 10-12mm lower than the OEM wheel and I'm not super tall, so it hasn't been noticeable to me if that helps. I've enjoyed the round wheel a lot.

6000 miles in and still looks new. I'm sure as time goes on it may get a little dirty, but I try to wash my hands before driving to minimize oils getting into the fabric. I also have Sonax Alcantara cleaner that I'll use 1-2x per year to keep it feeling soft and fresh.

I used Carworx to ship from Bellevue all the way to Jacksonville. Had a good experience with them.

After multiple emails and a few hundred dollars potentially wasted, I'm settling for a 50% fix. Bell and Colvill reached out to Lotus HQ for me and got back with a "correct" part number for the US passenger side after the incorrect one was initially ordered as mentioned above. This replacement...

It's a satin brushed aluminum finish.

Interesting idea! Surprised no one else has asked this, but how did you cleanly remove the mesh surround? If that octopus shaped piece was anodized or painted to match it would look great, but currently it makes it look a bit unfinished to me.

GRP makes custom wheels for under $900. There's already a thread on it and I posted some photos of my install there.

That's my car and the answer is no not really haha. I have EBC red brake pads I plan on installing soon that should hopefully help a lot with the dust. My wheels are also ceramic coated so the dust washes off pretty easily at least.

EV's have higher registration fees in many states because they aren't paying taxes that everyone else does when purchasing fuel. It's actually pretty straightforward.

Standard offset are +57 and +54 so those would be pushed 10mm wider per side. Those wheels look great, I almost ordered them myself.
