USA/Canada Delivery Thread

[Lotustoronto]

This happens all the time, usually the manufacturer fixes these things at arrival at port. I know at least Porsche at the port of Halifax as a team that repairs "transit issues" prior to shipping to dealer. You would never have known it happened. Still sucks that you had to see it...

Congrats Nova! About damn time!

Yeah Galpin has been really nice and cooperative so far. I’ll keep you posted on what happens. The car hasn’t been prepped for delivery yet so I’m curious how they plan on handling it. I expect to be treated fairly.

Major discount

Any sense on how fast the overall queue is being cleared? Hard to tell from here because so many individual stories of either delivery/still waiting. Wondering if dealers are now “caught up” or still backlogged for weeks.

One data point. Galpin received a car on 4/7 and is expecting it to land in Los Angeles in 1-2 weeks

But even after it arrives - my understanding is some people are still waiting weeks from that period because the dealers are so backlogged.

My car landed at Lotus Orange County last Friday and I picked it up Tuesday. They had 6 cars land

4500 in Montreal

Hello dealer in canada is charging freight charges of $3400 in the msrp charges plus another $5000 of freight & pdi as dealer options and charges for a total of $8400 plus taxes... Is this normal?
Does everybody else have 2 separate freight charges on their invoice/sticker??

Not normal and it makes no sense.

The $3400 is just the normal destination fee in Canada $.

There should be no PDI fee as dealers are reimbursed by Lotus for that service.

The other freight? Are you picking the car up at the dealer or are they shipping to you?

Seems they are catching up on some but too early to tell, for example my dealers 2nd order was missing and finally showed up at port last week. My Emira has been produced for 2 months and hasn’t been shipped yet as far as we know. I asked my dealer about this though and they said the more the better - but I think it’s dealer dependent and how much space the have (Mine has an underground garage).

At the dealer like a normal pickup..
They detail it as 3400 for freight in msrp & car options, and then in the dealer options and charges, an extra 5000 for freight and pdi
plus taxes of course
If anyone else has seen their invoice or picked up their emira in canada, please share your total freight charges with us..
I just want to make sure everyone is getting approx the same charges

all depends on how many cars you dealer have on order. My dealer got 20 cars in late last week and delivered at least 9 by Weds this week. The rest are ready just waiting on their owner's schedule. they are expecting another 50+ cars from the FE 1.0/2.0 lot

I was charged:
$6995 for "Dealer Prep Fee"
$1295 for "Lotus Documentation Fee"

No other shipping, PDI or markups.
