In China, Emira owners get a KEF headphone with the car. Wondering if US owners will get one.
New slogan is "For the Cats", of course
The inevitable “who is your dealer” question here. Are you using Lotus of Chicago or another dealership?
Lotus: We wont keep your cars out in the elements to protect them from the weather.
ALSO LOTUS:
Now I just need a cat grooming itself plushie to stick on the back of my car at any cars and coffee events to complete the look.
Lotus of Naples is posting many Emiras they have received listed for sale. I don't think all those cars are canceled by the customers, right? Or they might be doing that to attract potential customers or make their inventory bigger. Is any other dealership doing this?
You are going to have to out-bid someone else for your car
They're listing all of them, mine is up there now.
In other news Naples confirmed with me that the cars will be coming with tenders

Lotus of Glenview (just north of Chicago).

These listings just sound like a database thing. Dealers add all inventory to their system and that auto-populates the engines. From the dealer's perspective it doesn't hurt to get inbounds on an unavailable car, they can convert that person to an order.
Makes sense, that is the same dealer that listed the demo cars for sale that they temporarily had
6 additional units came in to the US on Saturday, but to Newark, NJ, not to Baltimore. It's also a type of bill of lading I haven't seen previously on these, an "In-bond" type.
The consignee for these is Lotus themselves, not the Lotus Cars USA subsidiary.
[edit] I looked up the automated In-Bond status and that indicates that the cargo is intended to be taken through the US on the way to another country, and not actually imported TO the US. Previously cargo that was carried forward on the same ship was billed slightly differently, so I suspect something is different about these. As far as I can tell, either they are bound for Canada over land transport, or they are being loaded onto a different ship in Newark and taken elsewhere.
All the details you could ever want about In-Bond import processing can be found here.

Well, hopefully the issue with the poorly insulated junction box under the hood was resolved before this batch was made :/

Love it! Congrats!
Evidently I am one of the four which really surprises me as I ordered May 2023. I got the call today. I think I benefited from many people not noticing AZ had a lotus dealership. You were able to get pics? I might need to drop by and do the same!
Yeah Scottsdale was the skip the line hack. Glad they opened that one
