Brain, thanks for the update. I have scheduled a visit to the Lotus service department on 4/17 as I have the same issue.

Please keep me posted as I have the same issue.

The Chinese economy is slowlng drastically. Very unlikely those expensive electric SUV's can resurrect the Lotus brand. Only time will tell.

It is a nicely run organization. Scott Wright is a great guy and a honest fellow. I purchased my Dark Verdant Green Emira there. The photo shows my silver Mercedes that I used as a trade in.

Thank you for posting this information.

Great informative and educational video. Much appreciated.

Thank you Nova for making my day. I see my Emira VIN on the shipping list from 9/15. I placed my order with deposit early 12/21 and now expect the car will be in my possession within one month!

mistake, manual cars

I received an interesting email from the dealership: VIN's were issued to all 4 speed Lotus Emira's when in the midst of production. No VIN's have been received for the 3 automatics they were told are in the midst of production and that they expect to receive in September. Can someone verify if...

Again, my dealer told me that my Emira ( V6 automatic ) was in production and delivery is expected in September. When I asked for the VIN, I was told the Lotus representative did not give the VIN but no worries give him until Monday to get the number. Well, tomorrow will be 2 weeks with no...

Beverely Braga writes that the elctric Lotus Elise (2027) and the present day heavy weight batteries do not align with the lotus mantra. If that is so, a delay in production is likely. She extrapolates that Lotus would then likely extend the production of the ICE Emira . Does anyone see an encore??

I received an email from my Lotus dealer today letting me know that my Emira ( automatic transmission ) is in production !!!!!! Estimated delivery date is September. I am overjoyed & hope this information is correct.

Dear Parasran, If you believe your Lotus source, I have a bridge to sell you! Like Nova said, fingers are crossed but for your own mental health, don't buy in to the info you received.

Looks like I am in your inner sphere. I reached out to my dealer as when to expect the first shipment of V6 automatics. He then reached out to his Lotus representative and I may have been ghosted.

I believe Lotus of DC and Lotus of Washington DC is one in the same. In fact, they are located in Maryland.

Please count me in + shipping to the US

I love some of their cars ( esp. the Emira ) but internal problems persist. I believe the Lotus company will go the way of the Dodo bird.

Count me in: Gift arrived yesterday!

Now below $7 per share and dropping like a brick. I do not see a happy ending.

Just looked at the stock: down about 20% today and sinking quickly. I wonder if their marketing and client relations teams will preform better to right the ship than those in customer relations with the Emira depositors from th US ?????

New issue today for the stock exchange. The jist was the last thing needed in the automotive industry was another high end EV company. Any Lotus enthusiasts buying this new issue ?

Yes but with a VIN date of 2025

I spoke for about 10 minutes this afternoon with my Lotus dealer/owner. On the latest call (today ) he confirmed the following: 1. Emiras arriving in Baltimore port as early as Tuesday 2. all vehicles manual transmission only...

Congrats, I will keep my fingers crossed for your Emira arrival. Please let us know which Lotus dealership has your order.

I was told by my Lotus dealer that Baltimore, MD was the port of entry.

Porter, I am in a similiar postion but with an option: We live mostly in Northern VA but we have a place on the water in Maryland. I will register & garage the car at our Marylaand residence because the VA tax structure is unfavorable !

Thank you for the information. I have placed my order (same specs) 21 months ago and am anxious to receive my Emira !!!!!!

Congrats !!! What a beautiful super sports car. Which suspension did you order ? If you drove a demo, which suspension ? If one was sport and one was touring can you comment on the difference in handling ?? Thank you.

I say: you are 100% correct !!

You maybe 100% correct. I was under the impression that you, an individual, would no longer own the vehicle. Said motor vehicle would now be owned by a Montana LLC. that was incorporated by an attorney in that state. It is my understanding that you may be the CEO, Chairman of the Board ...

True however, you can register multiple vehicles, RV's etc and the savings is substantial.

Almost the same for me just one year younger !!

Fast_Driver, I second your opinion ! Yesterday was my Emira test drive and this super sports car will be in my stable.

Magna Red, touring

I am living in Alexandria also. Lots of road construction getting to Rockville. Lets compare notes on the experience next week.

I had my test drive today and I was very impressed. This super sports car is much more than "Eye Candy". Friendly, knowledgeable staff ( Loc, Joseph, & Jamie ) enhanced my experience. The drive (handling, power, speed, agility etc ) was second to none. The cabin comfort and view far exceeded my...

Thanks for the update Brian.

That article really tells the story. The NA market has no priority with Lotus/Greely.

Tom, thanks for your take. Fingers are crossed for 12/2023 arrival.
