I4 Delivery Date USA/Canada Updates

[ToonFan]

Yep…… lol. I you read the Chinese reviews… or the BiliBili (Chinese YouTube), these I4’s are actually around 411hp. One user was at 419hp. But, it’s all “whatever” till we have them in the states and some gearhead gets them in a shop.

400, 410 or more is all good. I'm just glad we didn't get 360 and "then" they changed it.

I think it would have been a problem if I4 deposit holders are waiting on their 360hp cars that are being delivered in almost 2025 , and then the 400hp SE model gets introduced , many if not most would abandon their deposit and buy for similar cost the SE or the 400hp new model.
Once again…. Just an opinion.

4007….. wow. You are literally one of the first I4’s to come off the line for the North America I4 production run. I thought I was early. Heard the 360 to 400hp model change was at 4010. joking…..

No VIN yet, but my dealer (MAG Columbus) called this morning to say my I4 arrived at the port in Baltimore today along with two I4 demos for the dealership. His estimate was 7-10 days from port to the dealer. I may collect it before 2025 after all.

Looking forward to that VIN shipping update from @DigDugLotus, hopefully my 4613 is on there!

Nova is the shipping manifest god…….

Supposedly, a ship arrived on the 9th and another one to arrive on the 14th according to my Lotus dealer. The I4 VINS that started shipping were around VIN 4000+. I guess all depends on how many cars on each ship .

Your car is only 545 cars after mine. Considering these ships hold thousands of cars, I think it’s fair to say yours might be on either ship. Lets hope.

I was notified today that my 4073 was on the 12/9 boat.

very cool, I imagine mine was included in this shipment as wel based on the VIN. Was an estimate provided on when the car would be at the dealership?

Yes, my sales person estimated 7-10 days for transport plus a couple of days for PDI. That was Monday so it’s possible I can take delivery at the end of next week.

Thanks, appears many of us will be getting calls the week of Christmas indicating our cars are ready for pickup. Hopefully, winter weather will hold off until we can get our cars home.

Also been informed that mine (4204) is on the water. Not told which boat so am assuming it’s just left the UK. Arrive in the US around Christmas and at the dealer early January. Best guesses until I get updated info.

Update:
My dealer originally told me that I would get my car by Christmas, now it will likely be mid to late January as my vehicle is scheduled to arrive at port on the 21st. So looks like I'll be receiving my 2024 in 2025.

My Philly Lotus salesman just sent e mail out that 4699 is on boat heading to US..
Wow this is 4 months earlier than I was told when deposit was put down in April.

That is great to hear! I am 4613, so hoping mine is on there with you. However I am in Seattle so about as far from Baltimore as possible. I figure I won't see it until mid January at best...
