USA/Canada Delivery Thread

[Ryder]

Thank you Nova for making my day. I see my Emira VIN on the shipping list from 9/15.
I placed my order with deposit early 12/21 and now expect the car will be in my possession within one month!

Will we hit 700 pages before an I4 hits North America that can be sold?

 

[DerTheDer]

Probably lol.

Probably lol.

Sad but probably true.

you mean 800?

 

[DigDugLotus]

you mean 800?

So my question is….. (VIN in the 40xx), are all the I4’s sitting at Norfolk,UK till CARB approval? Will they not ship till approval?

That’s a Lotus question but if I recall from the Emira shipping process the dealers weren’t too happy about storing cars while waiting on CARB approval. I see the same problem here.

Just got my VIN - seems the dealer was sitting on it, and forgot to tell me. (4365) - not sure where that puts me on production/delivery etc. BUT I HAVE A VIN!!

Mine finally hit the port, 3 years, 1 month, 1 week, and 1 day since I placed a deposit. Thank you Nova for maintaining this spreadsheet!

Good news, my dealer has relayed to me that all approvals for the I4 have been given and expect the first ones to be arriving early October. This is great news.

Big if true.

Took delivery of my manual FE2 yesterday from Lotus Cape Fear. Shane was incredibly helpful during the whole process and did a great job. Deposit Jan '24, Build Specs Feb '24. Now just have to ship it to Missouri.

I placed my deposit in August 2021. I got my car about a month ago and drove it to storage. Finally bringing it home in the morning!

My shipping broker told me that the car was picked up in FL yesterday 9/20/2024 and the driver called me a couple of hours ago saying that it'll be delivered tomorrow 9/22/2024. WTF? 2 day delivery from S. FL to S. Cali? I hate how anxious/excited I am. I need to clear room today for her!

So living in New Jersey I ordered a I4 Emira in April at Philadelphia Lotus and was told then look around April 2025 for delivery.
So last night I look at my E Mail and from Salesman is message saying my car is built and will be shipped
and look for delivery near November...
So caught me by surprise and actually wanted delivery of next year but will see if this comes to true..

 

[Balboa]

Can anyone tell me what the final production was for US FE manuals?
