Nope, someone can issue a freedom of information request to CARB.

Dealers usually dont know first and will say anything to look smart. When the V6 got approval I was the 1st one to let my dealer to know it was approved after seeing it on FB and here. They didnt find out officially for 2 days after that.

I was at my dealer yesterday getting my winter wheels on and they said the I4 was approved.

I did just that. Took multiple requests and a couple months, but they sent me this last night.

Yes, thank you for that! Naples Lotus are expecting I4s to hit 12/15 or so. My salesman drove the demo and said it was "brutal" in a good way. What I don't understand on that carb cert is that both the turbo and turbo se have been approved for the states. With the turbo being dialed up to 400hp, what is the se offering over and above?

Yea, I got it too, haha. They sent at midnight here on the east coast. Saw it in the morning. Good news all around.

Any bets on when the first i4s arrive? Could the first batch be on a boat already based on the Nov 15 CARB approval date?

I was messaging back and forth with Lotus Customer Service and Sales and received this " Please let the customer know that the first round of cars will be delivered in December. They have the regional Sales Manager for your selling dealer reach out to them and confirm order updates that will be communicated to you"
