My dealer today confirmed my V6 FE has been built and now they are waiting on shipping info. They expect I will have it by end of December. Said it will be in the "first wave" of shipments to the States.

USA/Canada Delivery Thread
- Thread starter supersix
- Start date
Because you wrote that your build date and expected delivery date were more than a year apart. I know it's a typo, but this is literally a thread talking about dates and full of people seeking specificity.
I specifically want my car before summer 2025. Honestly, that’s a coin toss.
LOL, Totally did not see the 25 typo. Now corrected.

More BS from Lotus... So if they have EPA approval they can sell cars in the 37 states that follow EPA Federal requirements. Why wait for CARB approval when they could be delivering cars (and collecting money) in the markets (37 EPA States) where they have approval??
Probably for the reason stated. Lotus can get fined if a dealer sells to someone in a CARB state. Could happen unknowingly. They won’t take that risk.More BS from Lotus...

Let me clarify.... Lotus has EPA Approval, which means they have approval to sell cars in the 37 states that follow Federal EPA requirements. So they CAN sell in those states - NO Fines. Easy to control as Dealer confirms initial registration in Non-Carb stated. Plus its the Dealer, not Lotus at risk of the fine. Lotus is choosing not to release cars to any dealers until they can be sold in all 50 states.....
Wouldn't that be a feat for the Canadians.... unfortunately I do not believe we can sell any vehicle in Canada that is not approved for sale in the US.
** only caveat is our import ban on non-compliant cars is 15 years in the US it is 25 years.
I just gave you the exact quote snipped from the my dealer's reply, what are you looking for a signed affidavit? At this point I'm satisfied getting any positive reply. If it's correct fantastic if not then it's not going to make any difference, the car will be here when it's here. Personally I choose optimism.
Lets go December!
Hell to freeze over?
Not sure about the CARB situation in Canada but I would imagine they wouldn’t allow a customer delivery in Canada while the US waits. Assume same time as US unless they can get stuck at the boarder?
Winter is coming.....
Until today, I didn’t know there were certain TRX’s that aren’t CA Carb compliant being sold. An example was on BAT: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2023-ram-1500-trx-lunar-edition/
If Ram is doing it, Lotus certainly can too.

Put that engine in the Emira! We were promised an Esprit replacement when they took out the back seats!
A promise from Lotus, good one.
Yes, but it comes with complications. Here's a case where the manufacturer was forced to buy back a vehicle that they sold to someone in California:
Trying to limit the Carbs, no doubt.
So the first batch will be Keto Friendly Editions?
