I would have liked to, but I am trying to stick to the break-in rules as much as I can = torture. Took back roads home to vary speed and shift 500 times. LolSo you got home in an hour?
USA/Canada Delivery Thread
- Thread starter supersix
- Start date
I had the dealer do it before pickup so don’t know the process they went through.

Does anyone know what’s going on with the next batch of Emiras? The next batch is supposed to be the largest, which would have over 300 cars and it’s been 15 days since the last boat reached port, which would be about as long of a gap as we’ve seen. But so far we’ve usually known if a boat is on the water (just not know which VINs or how many), has anybody heard anything? This should be majority CARB cars and hopefully Canadian cars (only about 60 in the country so far, many FE1s MIA…70 or so would at least deliver the balance of FE 1/2s which were 99% July 2021 deposits).
Mine should be on the next ship but maybe they should hold out till they clear the port. Many F.E. 1.0 depositors and early cars that arrive pre carb approval seems to be pushed in the back. In my opinion seems unfair when the trucks are just loading the cars at front that just arrived

The Atlantic Star should have arrived on Friday, so I’m hoping to get an alert soon; if it had any Emiras.
I had a local shop quote me $500, but then I read on one of the forums that if you take the cover off, Lotus may void the warranty. So I didn’t want to take any chances (although my dealer said it would not void the warranty) and had them do it for $997 prior to delivery and had them add it to my sales agreement so there would be no issues later on.

I just stopped by as well and was delighted to find my full exterior spec. It’s the first I’ve seen this combo in the flesh and I’m very happy with my choices. Looks like I’ll have a twin in the area.

Saw a Magma today on display at the La Jolla Concourse D'Elegance. Ive stared at so many pics of this car for the last 2 1/2 years. But it really is true the pics dont do it full justice. It's gorgeous in person. It was next to a $400K Ferrari and got just as much attention.
I think one of the big advantages the Emira has is there's nothing on it that's gimmicky. Every shape, line, form is not just functional, it's sculptured to be purely functional. No gimmicky transformer robot shapes, jagged edges, unnecessary fake lines, etc. The shape isn't narcissistic, it's pure. It's a naturally beautiful car, regardless of cost or name which is why it holds up so well visually against cars that cost a lot more with big status names.

Yup. I still think it looks like a modern Dino.
That's the best comparison I've heard yet!
Who here is still waiting for an update or delivery of their cars that were on the 3/29 vessel?
Three weeks since that ship unloaded and Lotus Philly received just four cars. FOUR!!
And has no update from their "Lotus rep" as to when or where the rest of the cars are!
What exactly does a Lotus Rep do? It seems like a similar job to a toll taker in the EZPass lane. Where do I apply?

They shipped around 60 Canadian that hit dealers a month ago - a lot of FE2s, while many FE1s remain missing. Last week 6 more cars arrived in Canada, 1 per dealership (Also FE2).it's like they didn't expect hundreds of Emiras to actually show up or something
Not sure whether all 6 cars were sent on this trek from Halifax to Vancouver on 1 transport or individual ones

Congrats!!! A rare same spec as mine with Goodyear diamond cut and privacy delete!
The truth may be that they just Netflix and chill. Don't get me wrong, they do check their emails and will pick a favorite email address to reply every week to meet KPI (reply to customers at least once a week).Who here is still waiting for an update or delivery of their cars that were on the 3/29 vessel?
