USA/Canada Delivery Thread

Looks like some may have come on the Atlantic Sea yesterday, Nova will probably update in a few days. Bill of landing is ACLUSA01096821 if you want to check it out.
All I could find is that the Atlantic Sea arrived October 31st, at 4am and already has been unloaded(18 hour port time) has currently left Baltimore. This cargo ship can carry up to 1300 vehicles in addition to cargo. Don’t have the subscription to get more info. Hey Nova… 😂. We need ya! 😊

This is what I see but no idea if it's complete/fully accurate... but it does line up with the other tracking that's been posted:

  • U.S. homologation for I4 Emira will be completed in late 2024, with customer deliveries starting in early 2025
Hopefully Lotus is still on track to complete homologation in the next month. Looks like we'll be getting 2024MY cars in Q1 2025

Yeah. That kinda sucks to have MY24 delivered in 25’. But at least we get our cars….. with knowing what they know, how do you not have the CARB cert by this time? Baffling.😑

For those asking about port->dealer timelines, here is another data point for you. Of course, it's going to be different for every dealer/car. YMMV.

12/4/21 - Deposit placed.
08/26/24 - Provided VIN
10/08/24 - Arrived in Baltimore
10/31/24 - Arrived at dealer in Los Angeles

Dealer needs a few days for intake and PDI, so I'll be picking it up next week.

Well picked up the car today.

HY
Black pack
Silver calipers
Ice interior red TDS marker
V6 Auto
PPF and 25% window tint on sides

The car made it almost 2 hours before the Apple car play froze….. was able to fix by selecting the settings using the steering wheel and just sort of messing about until it went back to working.

See you all in the issues thread……
