USA CARB stickers available now so Emiras should get delivered soon

Hello Lotus Emira members in the USA At the Dallas location, CARB stickers have arrived, and they are placing them under the hood supposedly, therefore, your Emira's should be delivered soon (my guess is 1-2 weeks across the nation), for those that are lucky enough to have their cars in the USA...

That has got to be the best Friday news! I have a Feb build, so it'd be a while for me, but very happy for all the people whose cars are here, and are just waiting for CARB.

Okay this week Bitcoin ETFs got approved that I've waited on for over half a year. I waited 8 hours yesterday and was one of the lucky ones to get Disney Magic Key passes. So that must mean CARB approval by end of week...

You called it

Put a deposit down late Oct 2023. Hope to place official order sometime this summer. Congrats to those receiving now!!

I googled my VIN and it showed up for the shipping details.

My VIN yields no results, which makes me think my dealers cars are in UK as was mentioned. A little disappointed knowing the cars are likely getting released sooner than it takes to ship them, based on the latest info from Dallas. Oh well. What’s another few weeks to a near 3 year wait….?

Just dropped into dealer sales guy was just about to pick up the phone to call me. Have the VIN, the whole list for the first 25 or so too. Confirmed the cars are still in Hethel.

Just dropped into Boardwalk Lotus and Tom was just about to pick up the phone to call me. Have the VIN, the whole list for the first 25 or so too. Confirmed the cars are still in Hethel.

That sounds like late Feb at the earliest for cars to make it to the west coast. Appreciate the info.

That sounds right to me too

I heard from my dealer directly that the CARB stickers are going out but CARB approval is still pending. I suspect they're sending out the stickers in anticipation of it passing so that the cars can be delivered at that time and not have to wait for something as silly as stickers floating around via USPS or something.

In other words, the stickers arriving is a good sign and at least shows that Lotus is doing parallel processing which is almost shocking at this point. I would have expected us to have another wait period of "sticker delivery" post-CARB approval but at least it sounds like they'll get that one right!

The right kind of sticker shock!
Teased right up until the end.

My dealer told me a couple days ago CARB called Lotus for some clarification from submitted data and got their answered and seemed satisfied. This jives with that i’ve been told the process is like.

At the very least this tells us data is being reviewed.

Nothing.
Still. Nothing.

Took a short video of most of the inventory at Lotus Charlotte. I was told they are expecting to be able to sell them in the next 2 weeks but not concrete.

Was that first car in the line a Zinc Grey or Osmium Silver?

I believe that was Zinc, the Osmium was the 3rd car.

 

[Bimmernate]

I believe that was Zinc, the Osmium was the 3rd car.

3rd car looks like nimbus, not osmium
