USA/Canada Delivery Thread

I stopped by Boardwalk today. They must have had about 10 Emira’s on the lot. Stickers all reflected FE1 MSRP.

Is it raining Emiras now?
Congrats on the new customer deliveries

Did you happen to chat with ‘em? I appreciated that Kyle and Tom invited us to text or call day or night in their email…I appreciated less that I’ve not been getting responses to my texts

The frustration is real... as Porter or Nova said, once the boat lands (mine 4/6) you're in limbo until your dealer gets word it's on the way. I'm build no. 0473 and I've been among the first orders at my store, yet I've seen like 20 cars from the 3/29 and 4/6 boats go through with 1100-2100 sequence numbers while mine is still sitting somewhere, all lonely. This "first in, last out" stuff is for the birds! I really feel for the December docked people...

I'm build #0584, my dealer is Lotus of Western New York.
my Emira arrived at the dealership on 4/13 for a pickup on 4/15, but the dealer did not have the paperwork from Lotus to sell the car, so that took another week and I was able to pickup my Emira #584 on 4/20

Yes it is well worth the waiting game.

Thank you Lotus of Western New York.

i've been busy driving all around and no where at the same time.
I picked up my Magma over tan Emira on 4/20/24, A day to remember, the wait is over!

Congratulations! Fantastic spec. How was the delivery experience? I am waiting for mine from the same dealer (FE 2.0 V6 Auto)

I concur. The idea that vehicles are being delivered without any regard to wait time, while currently practical for a Fu$#$'d up company like Lotus, is really infuriating. So tired of being told it will be soon.

Well, I gave up on being patient waiting for Park Place in Bellevue to respond to my email i sent them on March 11th in response to their email to contact them. I called them Monday, they said they'd leave a note for the salesperson. Nothing.

At this point, I'm really starting to consider asking for a different salesman. Absolutely the worst dealership I have ever interacted with.

DM me who your sales person is. I'm also at that dealership, also with an FE 1, on the 4/6 boat in my case. My salesperson has responded when I email... usually a day later timing wise. If you want to be referred to him, I can give you the name in DM

Same, mine usually gets back to me within a day even if his responses are short and vague. My car arrived there Monday, I'm just waiting for them to tell me when I can pay for it and how to have it shipped. Trying to be patient since they're apparently getting 14 cars dropped off per week, but it's getting tough.

 

[Rhinocerosity]

Good news. I just got the call that my car is on a truck headed to California. 4/6 ship. Hoping it will be ready for pickup maybe May 6th. He said 8 cars on their way to Eurocar in Orange County. Oct 2021 order. FE2.0. In their first shipment. Pinch me...

Exciting, but also kinda frustrating. July 2021 order through them, FE1.0, was on the same boat as yours. Still no correspondence. Which means its probably not in the first delivery.

Same, mine isn't great either (initials RB) but he usually gets back to me within a day even if his responses are short and vague.

I'd be less frustrated if I was asking about picking up the car. I'm asking about what the PPF options are, and want to know if they are using precut, etc so I know if I have to call other places because they did an awful job on my AMG GT with what looks like precuts.

Sounds like you already have your answer based on prior experience.

I'll trade you mine for the 1.0 MSRP!

True, knowing around when it would be expected would help me calling other places. "Hey eventually i'm going to get a car, could you do PPF eventually" is hard, and I have to find a place. Though if anyone in Seattle knows a great place, last time I had some good work done was at Diamond Window tinting but it has been years.

Well, when you put it that way... maybe its not that frustrating.

Attached are the PPF options they offered me. I said no because like you I don't want to risk pre-cut film. I'm also unsure I want to do full PPF again given the high costs. If I do, it will be with a vetted local shop.

EDIT: For reference, my Emira was on the 4/6 ship and arrived in WA on 4/22. Was just told a few minutes ago they're going to email me the paperwork for signing today (4/25) so fortunately they seem to work pretty fast once the car is in their hands.

 

[nfollin]

Well the manager called me and now not only did I get all the answers I needed buy I know my car is at the port. So, I'll take it.
