What about the back? Bumperettes?

I can also confirm the gear shifter linkage is visible through the mesh.

Thank you for confirming this -- and also confirming that the telephone game of details from dealers is just complete garbage.

What about the back? Bumperettes?

This is basically the only question left for me.

Also noticed, delivered with a lack of front plate mount. SCORE!

January 2023 deposit placed, expected to receive a base model eventually but received an email stating I got a FE 2.0 allocation for summer or ‘24 delivery. Unfortunately timing doesn’t work out now as I’ve since picked up a 2011 V12 Vantage and it’s too soon for me to be adding another vehicle . That being said, my sales guy told me his rep said the base price would be a little above 90k and optioning it to a first edition equivalent would actually come out to 1-2k less than the current FE 2.0 pricing. They basically said it would be less because it doesn’t have the FE badging.. That seems to be the opposite of what we’re expecting with the base prices. Anyone hear anything similar about base pricing? I still hope to order a base model one day when the timing is right regardless of the price difference, it’s just not the right time right now and I finally got my original dream car!

Damn, that is a opposite of what I was figuring. I was a 2022 deposit, expecting to get a base. But also got an email about getting an FE 2.0 allocation and went ahead and submitted my config for an April build. I was expecting base + same options to be more than the FE. Otherwise I would have maybe just waited for base, I don't care about the badging. May also have more (better) colors by the time base is started.

I for one will not look at the photo of DV with black gloss wheels because you were bullied into doing this. I don't condone bullying. I am also not looking at the tan interior with the gated shifter nor the Shadow Gray with diamond cut wheels. And I really I am not looking at the DV Ice Grey interior since that is my spec. Bullying is not acceptable and you don't have to go back and take any pictures of other colors.

There's a 0% chance that loaded base editions will be less $ than first editions, this is exhibit 1 million of dealers talking out of their ass

Thank you!!! I suddenly fall in love with the Emira again. It just looks so good.

Yeah I honestly don’t believe it myself, but it wasn’t going to change my situation either way. Will be curious to what actually happens when the realize the base configurator.

Given Lotus' promise of delivering a NA car in December, and the rapidly increasing rate of posts in this thread, I predict we'll hit 300 pages simultaneously with that first delivery. Both are worthy goals. Carry on.

Dang, I was hoping to hit the 300 page mark but Lotus has technically delivered at page 289. I missed by 11 pages but it was fun playing.

Ok. Now go check all the other dealers.

He is in Jacksonville. I figure if he starts now, he can hit Orlando by mid-afternoon.

Has anyone tried to access lotuscar.com today? I got a very strange 403 response in Chinese that translates to "Your request may be a threat and has been intercepted!"

Thank you for sharing the photos @DaaS (even if it was under duress!)

lotuscars.com works not lotuscar.com

It's lotuscarS.com

 

[kitkat]

I'm sure @KAR120C was using lotuscars.com but he might be behind a vpn or in a network that is being blocked by lotuscars.com CDN.

They're using both CloudFront for pages and Cloudflare for resources.

we need to bully @DaaS more so we can get some pics of the Bumperettes on the backend
