USA/Canada Delivery Thread

[Pegasi]

Hey Pegasi, when you have a min will you put the i4 VIN into this decoder -- https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/decoder/
and post the results, thanks!

Sorry yes, there was confusion here. I thought @morphious was referring to FE 1.0 and FE 2.0 V6 Manuals. I don't have an I4. Again, sorry for the misdirect.

What are the tri-light strips used for?

All 3 elements are presumably for the main beam.

Lotus claim to have 500 completed Emira almost a month ago. remove the FE 1.0 auto from the 700 FE 1.0 allocation. I would not rule out that they have completed FE 2.0 at the port now.

I have a FE2.0 that is at port.

Technically these have to stay on the shelf until CARB passes.

I will not play with them until then

Any way to imbed a spreadsheet into this thread where people can record dealer, deposit date, 1.0/2.0, color, shipping date, etc? Might be interesting to see if there are any patterns emerging.

Google form submission linked to a public viewable google sheet. The sheet embeds into the forum well.

Pointless I think, before anyone can get enough accurate data and with statistical confidence draw any conclusions, the Emira will be delivering to most people.

For what it’s worth, I saw DV for the first time yesterday. It is a very nice metallic color and definitely green during the day. I would pick it over HY if I wanted a less flashy color. Cameras don’t do it justice IMO.

I've seen and driven and driven behind a DV Emira and it is only clearly green in bright sunlight. Otherwise it is just dark. IMHO.

Wow! When did you finalize your order (what month)? I finalized mine in Sept.

As people start seeing US spec cars at dealers, I’d be interested to get feedback on the paint and if there is still any evidence of sanding marks, holograms, and paint bubbling.

Exactly, I saw it in person too and then changed my order to Nimbus. Too dark unfortunately.

Im sure there will be unfortunately. Hopefully dealers will fix that before they get to us.

Yes, 1.0 and 2.0 FE V6 manuals.

Ok well then yes. I have a 2.0 being delivered with 1.0s.

No bumper covers. Hilariously there was a cat licking himself on the rear decklid when I showed up. Imagine if they were at the port and instead it was seagulls shitting on them for 2 months haha.

I have a few more quick photos I’ll post when I get back home. This car looks so much better in person, I’m excited.

Edit: typo

So it is a pussy magnet
