USA/Canada Delivery Thread

[Sandalwood]

I've never seen another Emira that wasn't an M plate, dealer demo or my close buddies that I cruise with after 4 months of ownership.

There's another one in my city that parks quite visibly on a downtown parking lot. He got it about two months ago. The only difference from my spec is that his has the black roof. Lots of folks starting asking me yet again about mine...which is still being built (I have the VIN, but that's all).

How were you notified that you had a VIN? Was it from the dealer or did you get a notification from Lotus USA?

Yep, I got a text from the dealer. Mine ends in 13912.

Thanks. I submitted my build in May and was told a Sept build date so I still have a ways to go.

My dealer just notified me that my car has arrived and I should be able to pick it up this week!

My Emira has landed. The car does not disappoint - it looks and drives amazing.

Oh, they activated the Scorpion tracker while I was there so I can see it get trucked to me.

And it comes with a user handbook and a black leather with yellow stitch slipcase.

When did you submit your build? I submitted in mid February but after repeated emails to Lotus I still do not have a VIN. Last email response said VINs are assigned and communicated after they are built and loaded for shipment. Strange.

Hi all! Just got mine, well ahead of schedule!

05/01/23: placed deposit for V6 Manual - far down the list, was told to expect 2025 delivery at the time & never expected to get an FE

07/12/24: discovered (purely by chance!) that my dealer had an "orphan" FE2 that was quite close to my spec on site, so I signed the paperwork on the spot

07/19/24: paid the dealer & took my car home

It's far closer to perfection than I expected!

Congrats on finally getting your car! How soon before we get to see your Signature SV104s mounted on the car? Really looking forward to seeing them and getting your feedback on the setup.

 

[Time2Fly]

@T6061 likely three weeks. One week for the car to get here but I also have a crazy work schedule for the beginning of August so I won't even be able to start the teardown.

Nice! I got the alcantara with yellow stitch + leather steering wheel

When they took your Feb factory order did they give you an anticipated build month? For example “feb deposit with expected June build”?

Nope. I picked up late Wednesday afternoon.
