Wasn't this an involuntary factory option on one of the US cars?

1 of 1 with factory "Lotus Emira" seats.

Yes, @73JPS had it happen to his. @Wiz33

Just got the call from my sales guy at Park Place. My car is being loaded on the carrier truck right now, and it should be arriving here sometime late tomorrow. I doubt I'm going to be able to sleep much tonight lol.

Congrats!

Wonder where they are being loaded if they are arriving just over 24 hours later? I was told it was about 4-5 days from Baltimore - I’m still actually waiting for a call to say mine is on the way!

This is an awesome rate. Even lower than what HYSA or money markets are paying. Are there any requirements to get this rate (apart from high credit score)?

His car is already at the dealer, it's being loaded onto a truck to get shipped directly to him. Same story for me but it takes a week to get from Bellevue to Florida where I am now thanks to my employer. 6 days left!

Yeah mine was already there, went through pdi and had ceramic coating put on it. Here it is after it was taken out of the showroom, ready to be loaded onto the carrier.

TRACK ARMOUR TA6X100-6'' x 100' - Temporary Track Day Paint Protection Clear Adhesive Film for Car https://a.co/d/1KHps5z

FYI… this was easy to remove after the drive. I removed part of it yesterday and will remove the remainder tomorrow at the PPF shop.

How was the application process for the film?

You mentioned driving by the 9/11 memorial in Shanksville -- I was there in 2021 on the 20th anniversary. Really worth a visit - well done, good explanation of history, and respectful.

I used the same protect on my Emira for an 12 hour ride home and it was very easy to apply. Spent about 20 minutes. Used the entire roll for the entire front.

Congrats @Eagle7 !!!! Is yours manual or auto?

 

[73JPS]

Have anyone replaced the "LOTUS" seat insert with the "EMIRA" ones? I got a set coming in from the UK and I'm thinking about doing something odd. I'm just going to replace the one on the driver side (US version) so that if someone is looking in through the windshield. it would read "LOTUS" "EMIRA" What do you guys think"

As @Time2Fly said, I had this on my car from the factory (thread here: https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/anybody-else-have-two-different-seat-badges.4440/)

Frankly the differing fonts were like nails on a chalkboard for me, and the correct badge “Lotus” badge was installed under warranty. That said: whatever floats your boat!

Yeah… cuz we’re awesome (assuming you also got Sport suspension with Goodyear tires) . If only yours were to be delivered with the production error mine had, you’d be even more thrilled !

oops, have to lower the awesomeness level by one. Got touring as I'm old well and SF Bay Area road condition is not the best. Just notice it's 2 different font type so I'll probably just do it pair and swap them every season

Agreed...either both Emira or both Lotus but the mix and match didn't work for my O.C.D.

Manual

I got mine from pen fed. Their rates are going down and they are in the 5’s depending on length of loan

How did you get it? When I looked they don’t even list Lotus as an option.
I guess I might need to call in.

 

[ManOfSteel]

I would advise using your own Financing resources (bank, credit union) as dealer usually have the worst rate. The only reason I'm using theirs is that I'm doing a business lease as I can get a partial write off with pre-tax dollars.

GrubHub? DoorDash?

I won't mind delivering food to fellow owners

 

[@Life411]

Hey All, I was just curious if there were a delivery tracker similar to the order tracker that was posted on LotusTalk a couple years ago. I found it very helpful (and the VIN tracker from @Nova ) and was thinking of posting one if it doesn't already exist. Thanks in advance.

What is the residual and MF they offered you for the lease? Which bank?
