Over 10k deposit!! This was after delay after delay. I was not happy. But I did sign a contract. But they had also failed to deliver a vehicle as well.
We cant say the same for Lotus Talk. They shut the thread down with the quickness. Unfortunate. Free speech doesnt exist over there. Its as if they cull anything related to the Emira.

Who imposes tariffs? And if that is the Governments, how is that not political? You don't need to go into it unless you are bored this Sunday morning, because you seem to have a counterpoint to most things here.
Run away and blast the dealer, very shady. I would understand 100ish (on the very high end) to diagnose any road noise or other issues. But cut your losses now.
Hosting a Fun Run near Harrisonburg VA on 10/26/2024. Currently 1 Emira and 2 SC Elise RSVP'd. Breakfast at a local restaurant and then touring through the countryside into WV. Meetup is 930-10ish and should last a solid few hours.
A few 12' packs of Mtn Dew and Diet sodas to stock their work fridge. A box of potato chips helps as well. The next year you bring beer. And I am being serious.
There were rumor's of heating issues with the I4T. These issue potentially caused the delay and got them back to the drawing board. But looks like not all of them were resolved. Hope you can get it worked out.
Just prepare to be disappointed lol. Dont expect anything budget or to cost reasonable. Economy is in the shit and they gotta make money. And they had better be making it out of the Hethel factory to avoid the tarrifs, and the Hethel factory already has a proven track record of messing things up.
Contact the dealer and state you will be returning the car if they cannot produce a new label. They sold you a useless car due to this. Contact the State A/G and your Senators to put pressure.
Id say 0% an electric elise will happen. Also Lotus had continued to make heavy vehicles against the wishes of us hardcore folk.
This seems like a money has dried up problem.
I was told all new shifter cables would fix it, that or finding the sweet spot when adjusting them. I declined the new cables as it would involve gutting a decent amount of the interior.
