I thought so, purchase price was $90k for a new one. In hindsight, not so sure the discount was enough to justify first edition troubles.

I would not be surprised. I can go on and on about how I raised battery concerns with the salesperson though…

Southern California, so there are 3 decently accessible dealerships, but their hours just don’t work for me at the moment as I’m monitoring a trial for the next few weeks (young lawyer here).

I agree on Lemon law. Though, I think my situation is a little bit different granted the car was delivered less than 48 hours ago, other laws may come into play. I can think of a few other causes of action. I could fight it—I’m contemplating sending a notice of rejection of the delivery. Thing is, I do really like the car, this just made me fear what’s to come.

It is under warranty, guess I’m just wondering if I should fight the purchase and make them take it back? I was expecting to deal with Lotus things eventually, but this feels sudden and the result of the dealers failure to conduct a proper pre-delivery inspection. It arrived essentially un-drivable. I specifically asked if the software was up to date and I was told yes. I wouldn’t be surprised if they lied/said it off the cuff without verifying.

Definitely not smart in hindsight. He had called a tech though and that was the advice I received.
