USA/Canada Delivery Thread

Wyona and thank you appreciate it

All the best buddy. Stay strong for her. I became a caregiver for my wife in late 2017 for 14 months.

The 700 F/E North American cars will be produced and delivered as promised IMO. The remaining base/i4 allocations, that is unknown and may be delayed. I expect the V6 F/E cars to start arriving at US/CAN dealers in April - July.

Weren't FE's promised Spring 2022? I wouldn't have sold my 991.1 GTS last June if I'd known the delivery date was so far off.

I get it. I sold my 10K mile unmodified 1994 RX7 early.

Ugh... guess I was wrong! I will leave it at that

Still waiting for details on this one. What news?

well April is spring....

Yup, April is spring.

Original deposit July 13th 2021. Sold Porsche the end of July 2021 expecting the Emira Spring, 2022. Sure, April would have been great! But which year? Spring 2022 is no longer an option.

Still waiting for my letter telling me my Emira is in production. UK's letters have been rolling out for a few weeks letting them know their specific vehicle is starting production then.

I know, I deposited in 2021 as well. I hope it is worth the wait.

I think the "worth it" part is going to vary from person to person. Honestly, I'm glad I didn't make the FE cut and went to the back of the line for a base.
It's given me time to experience two different cars in the meantime and also time for kinks to be worked out and eventually drive it before I commit. It still takes my breath away!

I agree... I drove it already and my opinion is it's worth the wait. I really enjoyed it, nothing else in this price point interests me. However, the kinks needing to be worked out, especially given how hand-built these machines are is even more important. After about 1K cars there should be an improvement. I will most likely upgrade if they ever do a final edition V6 manual. Otherwise I will do a tune once the warranty period is over. One benefit too being small, is being more nimble and the ability to effectively target a problem, at least in theory, should be easier.

Unless Honda comes out with a really really good new S2K next year (unlikely), I don't see another car on this horizon that will capture my interest.

Wondering if it would help everyone if we started posting our deposit dates so we can track allocation v. Delivery progress. I’ll start: Aug. 6/21. (this didn’t make FE cut).

Lucky break for me.

I was recently offered one of the last FE spots from my dealer due to cancellations. I placed my deposit in late September 2021. I'm told my build month should be April 2023.

I think a combination of factors is causing the number of people holding on to their spots to drop. The global economy downturn, rising interest rates, and the lackluster profit margins shown by recent flips.

Hi everyone, I think it will be interesting to track the US deposit, order submission, and delivery dates in a spreadsheet. I have added everyone's dates below. Please continue to populate / update this so we can see how this tracks in 2023.

The biggest concern for me is IF, and that's a big IF, the U.S. production actually starts in January like it's been promised, THEN we should start seeing our cars starting in March/April/May, otherwise it will depend on when they actually start producing North America cars. Deposit/order date won't matter much until then.
