USA/Canada Delivery Thread

[DerTheDer]

Received this email this morning from “Scott”, whom I assume is the same “Scott” that was my tour guide at the Factory on Sept. 19th. This was in response to my Factory Tour Feedback survey feedback, in which I stated my disappointment on the “tight-lipped” answers to my questions about U.S. Emira production and delivery schedules:

I find it extremely funny and disheartening we find out US production has started from Scott. He isn't the Hero we deserve, but he is the Hero we need right now.

1. Why didnt the dealers relay this message? I am guessing Lotus didnt tell them?
2. Why didnt Lotus tell us?
3. Should we buy Scott a nice dinner for confirming US vehicles are being built? What a fuckin man! Thanks Scott.

These are positive Scott memes, not positive Lotus memes.

Scott seeing "the first US car for him at least"

I got an email from my dealer offering me a t-shirt in appreciation of my being a lotus customer (Emira is my first lotus). They needed my size. So, no Emira yet...but I am getting a t-shirt.

Cue jokes: two year plus stagnant Emira deposit with no car in sight.....and all I got was this Tshirt.

Here's hoping Scott views this thread and posts the meme images by his work locker. Better yet, in the Break Room notice board.

I am dead serious about the t-shirt BTW...

I suspect Scott's getting overwhelmed with connection requests on LinkedIn today, probably to the point he's asking himself "what the f#$k did I do?!"

I just put my spec in on the Lotus t-shirt with my dealer. I went with XL. Delivery date expected Q1 2024 (or "soon" in Lotus lingo). Soooo excited!!!!

If you do this will you still have the warranty

Is the bypass pipe DIY possible if I drive the car up onto ramps?

It's really hard to imagine how the bypass pipe will cause any harm. It's possible to argue that the valve controller may cause engine damage if it malfunctions. People with these flap controllers installed on Mercedes have to be very careful about removing them if they go in for warranty related claims.
