USA/Canada Delivery Thread

[4380r]

It’s been awfully quiet about NA production.
Does anyone know anything even if it’s BS give us a hint so we can all bitch a little.
Or is no news good news.
Maybe the first delivery batch has already been shipped or shipping soooon but it’s a surprise or not being shipped till Jan 2 2024
The minute I hear my car is on the way I will drink a bottle of the best Scotch I have

It will age nicely.

I was at that Emeya launch event in NY at the weekend. They had a bunch of people over from Hethel.

I asked everyone I met. My takeaway is that US production hasn’t started and they don’t yet have that US federal certification (sorry forgot what it’s called). The reality is no one knows when this car will get here and they were understandably guarded with their replies.

I’m in the first batch of FE deliveries, and I expect/hope to get the car in Feb/March 2024, just in time for a north east spring.

Wish it was better news or an update but that’s all I have from my conversations.

Nope. With Lotus it's "No news is bad news, and news is bad news".

Every time we ask here, it gets pushed back 1 week. That’s why we’re over 2 years in now.

Glad I cancel my factory order. Lotus really screwed up the release big time.

so what you are saying is don’t ask here. Hope that works

I have ordered a 911 T! But still in for the Emira because it will likely be 2025 at this point.

Nope, you thought about it, that’s another week!

That's the wonderful thing about procrastination;
there's always something to look forward to.

Is this the automotive equivalent of "a watched pot never boils"?

More like "a watched pot is empty, even though you definitely put water in there"

Can you really call it a pot if there are holes in the bottom, or is it more a colander?

Maybe it's a case of Schrodinger's Lotus. You really want to know it's condition, but in this case you can't even get the lid off the bloody box to find out.

It's like one of those plastic cake tins from the supermarket that reseals itself progressively as you work your way around the outer rim. The harder you pull on one side, the more firmly it locks itself on the other.

You can see what you want, your mouth is watering for it... but you can never reach it.

Crazy to think I put a deposit on the Eletre which at the time was basically a “concept” thinking sometime like 2025 delivery, and might actually get that first if I were to take my current reservation spot.
