USA/Canada Delivery Thread

Saw some guy post on FB that his dealer was able to verify their VIN based off their order, as well as set a date for car shields in December. Apparently they have a local company offering additional shields. The post was deleted but he did say that he should not have posted that information. He is no longer responding to me...lol So would appear to confirm cars ARE MADE and we are in a holding pattern. It would appear some dealers are letting things slip.
I 100% believe you that this happened, but I suspect that the OP was probably just trolling. The whole "Oh, I've said too much" / being coy / deleting the post routine, I feel like more often than not turns out to be just people seeking attention.

Probably! People getting our hopes up :(. Facebook is unhinged.

Don't forget the type we see occasionally here, who sign up for an account and immediately make a post declaring all the "inside info" they have received about build schedule and timing from their inexplicably well-connected (apparently due to tenure, but also rank-and-file) salesperson at Random Lotus Dealer #37.

I do tend to believe that they are indeed building quite a lot of US cars. What we've experienced in the past when they have passed over building US cars is that other customers get "pleasantly surprised" with an earlier-than-expected build and delivery date. However, we have not heard of similar stories recently. Indeed, we've heard more stories of delays and ensuing cancellations, with Lotus' cancellation department lamenting about being overwhelmed.

If the factory is running full tilt and other people's cars are not getting built, then it stands to reason that they are indeed building US cars.

My logic is sound and impenetrable unassailable. I will accept your admiration.

You forgot to blur out the second image.

Potentially good news…My SA texted me this morning - see the attached screenshots…
When he says "problem is we don't know which 11", we all assume he means he doesn't know which 11 that they ordered for their clients. Knowing Lotus, it could literally mean they may end up with 11 Emiras that are not even meant for his dealership, much less North America. Probably going to end up with 11 400hp I4s with NYO badges.
