USA/Canada Delivery Thread

Well that is 1:45pst... so should have some info before closing here

Probably 445 pm est and the dealers close at 5pm. So we won't know till Tuesday.

If the teams meeting is with Hethal, UK (they are +5 from EST), It would make sense it is around mid day EST (11AM EST = 4PM in the UK = 8AM in California).

I think it would be with Lotus USA, not Hethel

We've learned to enjoy the abuse.

The abuse will continue until morale improves!

Will tomorrow be Mega Monday or Mad Monday? We shall find out soon.

I wanted to create a thread specific to the USA/Canada to track what everyone is hearing for delivery timelines.

And how did that work out?

It has been a quiet morning so far. Almost 1 pm Eastern time, all I can hear is bird chirping.

 

[Lowtush]

Y'all got any of them secret meeting updates?!

Y'all got any of them secret meeting updates?!

All I could think about this morning when I woke up was the Bangles ... as I'm sure it was going to be a Manic Monday

Just received this email from my dealer!

Just a quick update on the status of the initial batch of First Edition Emira’s. There is an incoming ship that will dock at the port of Baltimore tomorrow. At this point I do not know the VIN’s of those cars on board nor if any of them are ones I ordered. I will know that information very soon and will pass it along if it pertains to your specific order. These cars will not have the CARB certification as that is in process and expected to be completed in January. No Lotus dealer can sell a car until the CARB certification is completed. If we receive your vehicle you are more than welcome to come see it in person. We have sufficient space to store your vehicle in doors until the vehicle can be sold.

Just got a call from my dealer.
There ARE cars on the water currently.
Cars will go to the dealers, but dealers cannot release the cars until CARB approval, which they anticipate getting in January. Any automatics and 4 cylinder cars are a long way out for the U.S. market….maybe a year.
