3rd week of waiting since my California dealer (Boardwalk Lotus) started getting cars delivered.

FE 1.0 July 2021 deposit, 25th in line at the dealer, and still no car

I applied for a loan ~2 weeks back from the excitement of the first few cars, thinking mine was going to be there soon given my place in line. Turns out that wasn't the best move.

Got a few more days before that loan application expires and I'll have to apply for another loan and have a hard credit pull made to my credit history

Lotus please please please let it be soon!

That sucks - I feel for all the 1.0s that dont have their cars yet. Travesty.

Yesterday was my three year deposit anniversary and no car. It’s somewhere in Baltimore, right at the back

Here's an update on tracking actual Emira deliveries to customers. We have 49 entries so far. This represents about 25 dealers, so too much data for a chart. Here's the summary though. You can find this in the Summary tab of the sheet (link in my signature). Congrats to the folks who've recently taken delivery...hope you'll take a minute to complete the form. Enjoy your rides!

I feel your pain! I waited until finally getting my VIN to lease a 2nd parking space for the Emira (not wanting to risk lack of availability when it arrives or far away from the spot I own). I’ll end up having sunk at least $600 on an empty parking space before it arrives lol.

Finally in the garage after a 7 day trip from Bellevue to Jacksonville (plus 30 months waiting prior to that). I forgot how much fun a home delivery can be. Feels great! My VIN is in 2400's, so I do think it was just luck of the draw when getting picked up at the port a month ago. If you're stuck anxiously waiting, I'm sure your time will come very soon. I wasn't even given a VIN until a day after my car arrived at the dealer with no warning. Added the first modification within the first 20 minutes

Thanks! It is, haha that's funny, he did a great job. About to go find some mid-day empty roads to knock out more break-in miles before working overnight tonight. Feels like Christmas morning as a kid.

Been lurking here. Took my delivery from lotus of North Jersey this past Saturday. Deposit 5/22.

Cars been working great no issues so far. AC and brakes seem fine. A couple of tiny bubbles on ppf which they assured me should fade.

I did notice one very weird issue. There's a neon green sticker at the bottom of my shifter linkage area that shouldn't be there that I didn't notice until I got home you can actually see it in the pictures. Otherwise it has been a dream.

I've been trying to figure out which ship my car is on and also refreshing the Google Doc to see if my vin pops up. Going crazy, I know it should be getting here soon. This last month seems like a harder wait than the past 30 months lol.

Congrats and welcome to the forum! Lotus of North Jersey has been doing a lot of deliveries lately! My buddy just got his Saturday.

Nice, congrats! May be a "rare" spec! No upper black pack (my choice in Seneca) and black leather, rather than alcantara. I approve! (even though I chose tan leather!). Looking forward to hearing about your driving adventures!.

Just got my call from Bellevue, the car (and 5 others who should be getting calls soon) are on the way.

Curious if anyone receiving their cars now are finding they have black/white badges. Hard to understand if the ones we've seen in posts so far have been swaps or if they came that way upon delivery. Hoping for yellow badges on my 2.0 Seneca and no surprises.

 

[Deeznuss]

GT4 has the black and white front logo (of course it’s blocked in the photo) and different a different logo on the sides of the car.

Anyone know when next ships should be arriving

Jealous. SF Bay area, so Boardwalk Lotus? Or SF/Los Gatos?

 

[GrahamClark_60-68]

Badge color issue has largely been put to rest some time ago. The owner of the Emira who posted photos with black/white badges responded that he replaced them with ones he purchased from Lotus UK. All Emiras are coming with Yellow/Black badges as far as we've seen so far.

Atlantic Sun left Halifax today, eta New York May 9. Haven’t heard any news of Emira’s on the water though so it’s likely a mystery until it’s unloaded, last week’s ship was empty .

My dealer gave me my vin last week and said car was on the water. I wonder if it's on that ship.
