Absolutely. I don’t care about having the car delivered sooner than others. I’d rather be later down the line and possibly have a better chance of being built right.

Speak for yourself. I have the patience of a child.

More Emiras arrived in NY on 4/26, only 6 for the US but 36 for Canada. Images below links to the tracking sheet where you'll find the VINs:

Thanks for tracking these. Very much appreciated. Sadly they skipped around my VIN again. Maybe the next canadian batch.

My wife just got her VIN number from Las Vegas Auto Gallery… it’s in the high 2000s and does not appear on any of the manifests so far. Which is somewhat good news imo.

I’m hoping Lotus actually pulled their heads out recently and fixed some production issues before her car was built. Paint blisters, and HVAC shield/updated resistor waterproofing are my two biggest concerns.

I'm hopeful that paint blisters were an early, non-U.S. issue as there doesn't seem to be too many reports of this issue stateside.

Man I was thinking of the OG Evora that has working harness issues in 2010 that took them YEARS to fix. I recall 2014s still having issues

My money is on the aftermarket support being able to step in and helping making things better. I’m not confident that lotus can step up here. They’ve had a year since launch elsewhere in the world and it was still a debacle

Wait till next winter

I’m hoping the same, but the U.S. cars don’t have the mileage or time owned under their belts that UK cars do. If this problem still exists I don’t think paint blisters will show themselves on NA cars for 6-12 months after they’ve been delivered to owners.

I started a message thread on this but it doesn’t seem to let me add. Dealer PPF around 9K for full car. Edges are not wrapped and have sizeable gaps. Have found a couple good alternatives looking at 6-7 for full car and 9-10 with ceramic. Edges wrapped.

PDI & Delivery has been reported 5K.

I have not visited the forum in a few weeks because I took delivery of a Carrera T and have been busy with work too. A lot of new pages since deliveries started! What is the TLDR? People happy? Major issues? S or R versions? Base production and deliveries? Local CVS has some cool versions, even a JPS!

Very happy with 911! MT is fantastic!

Wow they sell it in Seneca Blue!! Carrera T is an amazing car. I tried to order one about 18 months ago (as a hedge in case Emira got shelved) but Porsche rep never called me back for a deposit. But I have to say, to the layman it doesn't look THAT much different than a 15 year old 911 parked a few spots away. I know it's arguably a much better car than the Emira but I just can't get past that. My Emira arrives Wednesday and will be one of the first (if not the first) to land in San Diego. I may be pulling my hair out down the road with quality issues but today I'm on Cloud Nine.

At my age, I probably won't push either car to the limit plus I already have these two in the garage

 

[Rhinocerosity]

Well, finally got the call that my car is being loaded up. Estimate is 7-10 days. With my luck it'll probably get sucked into a tornado on the way here.

Congrats!

Does anyone know when the model year will change to 2025? Not sure how relevant this will be, but since I am still waiting on delivery, am I going to take possession of a vehicle that is already a model year old?

I’m interested in this too. Dealer doesn’t seem to know the answer. Is there normally a time in the year Lotus moves from one model year to another?

Halfway into the next year lol
