2024/2025 Emira Factory Order and Delivery Log

[Wiz33]

Update: So after the tariff news, I started wondering if I will ever get my car and how much more I would be paying. I looked at my dealer site and there was one last Emira available that just showed up out of the blue a week ago (2025 V6 manual, black with white interior). I went straight in today and purchased it. Very close to my build order other than color. Being delivered Monday. I just don't feel like stressing out about it for who knows how long. It's gonna be a good Summer.

Nice color combo. I like it. Any other angles? Do you have one of interior to see the contrast?

I use my partner for that. It's an auxiliary function that complements the cupholder convenience. The dialog is reliably spontaneous.
Discovered there's an adjustable Coaching setting; however getting occasional feedback issues that can distract from driving dynamics.
I find that sound volume adjusts with speed, but overall an enhancement.

The cast wheels look amazing on this car. Hoping to see more spec’d like this.

Very nice. Did it come in without a tariff? Enjoy!

No tariff on mine but the dealer said they’re increasing the price on unsold cars by 10% starting tomorrow.

I suspect that even if the tariff goes away we’ll be looking at higher prices overall.

Congrats. Gorgeous car and smart move I guess.

Looks like Galpin has all their 2025s on at least hold now. No more 25s listed on the site. They got in 8 from the 3/17 boat. I was going to threaten to walk for a better deal but Im glad I didnt.

Posted elsewhere, but: is current lot inventory selling out? At a higher price?
Manuals have been more popular than automatics, and v6 more popular than i4 (as far as I can tell). Color & kit seems to matter.

I would assume that the manuals are selling well. When mine came in they put it up on the site with 7 others just using stock images with descriptions. I had my sales guy pull it from the site which he did by putting a hold on it. When I picked up Friday there was a magma at the prep station next to mine and another was pulled in as mine was pulled out so I assume those of us with orders all accepted them or they sold them pretty quick to people still waiting.

EDIT: I was never asked for any additional markup. It was actually a really nice buying experience and most of the paperwork was completed before I got there based on previous phone calls with my sales guy.

How long would a vehicle be “locked in production” for? I was told this start of March. I assume car is built and sitting across the Atlantic until tarrif issues settled somehow, but my dealer is unable to verify and no VIN.

Much to my good fortune, while attending the International Auto Show in New York City, the Manhattan Lotus dealer had an Emira V6 Manual with almost the exact spec as my order placed at the end of February. Osmium Silver with Red interior. So, as you can imagine it did not take me long to cancel my order (with another dealer) and purchase the one in Manhattan. No discussion of tariffs or any market increases, strictly sticker. Picking the car up on Tuesday...

I also cancelled my order and picked one off the lot at Galpin Lotus that was closest to my spec (wanted diamond cut, got silver).
