It's as good as remembered from the test drive a year ago!

This is very close to my wife’s spec… she chose yellow calipers with no upper black pack. Gorgeous car, and congrats!

Did you do PPF or ceramic? It looks very glossy.

@Rupes yeah, I'd want prices to stay high a year or two into ownership as well. And I hope that happens. But not from flipped cars. I really do appreciate Chevy's efforts to stop this on an individual level and wish they extended it to dealers. No ADM. No sales above MSRP. No flipping inside of a year (or is it six months?). If you flip it, you lose the ability to buy from them again, and the warranty on the sold car is null and void. That way the originating buyer is stopped, and the second buyer warned off.

Initial purchases should be handled by first come first serve orders. Or in the case of very high demand in a raffle drawing to place a deposit like they did for concerts years ago. Instead we get stuff like people buying up everything they can (cars, concert tickets, food toilet paper and water in emergency situations) and then trying to effectively extort or skim from known demand. They add nothing to the system except to provide a means for the wealthy to buy in on the case that they missed the original offering. To everyone else they create a bar for entry. They're parasites who imagine themselves brokers and aficionados.

Buy it, enjoy it, and maintain it. Then sell it. And yes, let's hope it appreciates with time.

Thank you.
This is how it looks "raw".
No ceramic or ppf yet.
It goes in for PPF on the 7th.

Went up to take an actual look at the cars (I have seen Magma before) but they also have a Hethel Yellow with upper black and black Alcantara interior with diamond wheels and a Nimbus with upper black with red interior and black wheels.available but I still prefer the Magma with no upper black, tan interior and silver wheels so we started the paperwork on that. Hopefully will pick it up late next week. Here some pictures of mine and the Hethel and Nimbus that's available and will be on their website Monday although someone is suppose to come look at the Nimbus this afternoon. All the others are spoken for.

Notice how only some of that brake disc is clean? That's the only part of the brake pad that is making contact with the rotor.

That’s exactly right. Seems like it’s not uncommon.

Damn, what an absolutely gorgeous color combo. I love Hethel Yellow but I really wish this blue had been available for the 1.0 orders, probably would've been my choice.

That's why I waited for 2.0 colors to be released. Wasn't crazy about the original color options.

Got a call from Summit NJ - the car is here!
I went to check it out, and talk about the options.
Ray informed me that they are aware of a couple of issues that the cars might have - the A/C running on high speed and the power steering pump issues.
If there are issues they will be addressed before delivery.
The car will get the PPF applied some time next week hopefully and I should be able to pick it up next weekend if no issues!
There are quite a few Emira’s now at the Summit NJ dealer.
P.S. pictures after the delivery!

Spoke to Boardwalk, they have 16 Emiras currently and 5 more coming in today. More than half of them have A/C issue not blowing cold. They now have 20 resistors ordered from Lotus to replace them.

They would initially blow cold but after test driving them, they found most of them starts blowing only hot air

Oh! And they haven't received their first deposited car. Basically the trucks are just grabbing whatever they see at port lol

Who did you talk to? I went up to Boardwalk this morning to see the other two cars that're available (I've seen Magma before) and when I talked to Kyle about the AC problem. This is what he said. Only 4 cars had resistor air module issues and they were replaced already with their existing parts stock. They did order a bunch moreparts as they're expecting another 50+ cars to arrive.

I wanted to create a thread specific to the USA/Canada to track what everyone is hearing for delivery timelines.

$5000 TRANSPORT & PREP FEES !! :/
I was just provided a proforma invoice for my FE that should be arriving in May and told the Transport & Prep fee will cost over $5000CAD ! Anyone either get a similar quote on their FE Emira delivery or picked up their FE Emira and paid this price ? If not, what price was quoted or did you get charged ? Appreciate any responses to help address this outrageous T&P fees when U.S customers are paying only $2500USD !

 

[AMKV28]

For those who have received their Emira's, how is the overall experience and any issues with the car thus far?

Destination fee here in the U.S. is $2,350 which translates to $3,212.60 Canadian. PDI (pre delivery inspection) is part of the normal dealer receiving/inspecting process and they shouldn't be charging extra for it. Sounds like they're using that as a cover for simply adding a mark-up.

Where in Canada are you? Who told you May delivery? Could you elaborate? Lotus told Gentry about a month ago to expect a large shipment by end of month and it’s been crickets since then. As of yesterday they won’t tell the dealer whether or not there are Emira’s on the water so I’m wondering if another dealer was given confirmation of a ship setting sail?

Gentry alluded to me it was something in the high 4K fro delivery, @Maffu313 got one of the first deliveries and may be able to confirm.

Maybe, maybe not - Canadians always get dinged….whoever is doing the transport may be charging more to ship to Canada even though Toronto, Oakville, & Montreal dealerships are within 10 hours of the port and comparable or less than many US destinations…

Does Canada charge additional import fees trucking in from the U.S. to Canada though? Maybe that’s an unaccounted cost here

Not Kyle

I believe so, I could be wrong but I think someone earlier said Lotus Calgary was going to charge something like 7K (and Lotus Calgary has a bad reputation).

I’ve been very happy with mine
