Decided I’d finally join in on the fun. My wife submitted her specs last month with a May/June delivery. I told her That might be right if you ignore the year part.

Given this is pleasant news posted around Halloween not April Fool's day, I am gonna take your words for it.
I think he was joking, the source was a fortune cookie haha
Man at this point I am sure I am gonna be sitting in my Emira in my garage and would STILL not believe Lotus when they say deliveries are gonna happen any time soon.

Man. If he was really joking, that is no funny... I thought the fortune cookie was some self-reassurance...

Yep, I think purely a joke about reliable sources.
To all waiting on an Emira... I mean no disrespect, yet we need to look at the situation......
CARB is not going to Approve the Emira until Lotus has provided sufficient guarantees that it will sell enough EV's in California to offset the emissions of the Emira. Now, Lotus has announced the Eletre and Emeya, yet no pricing and no commitment on availability. I think this is the hold-up with CARB. They want more than just Lotus's plans as these EV's are made in China and come with a heavy 25% US Import Duty and NO EV purchase tax incentive.
I hope I am wrong and CARB gives approval now, yet I have strong doubts given the situation.

Well, given the volume, they could skip the CA market for awhile. Back in the early days of CARB, they sold cars in the rest of the country called "49ers." Legal to be sold everywhere except California. Eventually, however, those models were brought into compliance.
