Wow, so I have been tracking the wrong ship all these timesThe dates are arrivals in US ports.
When he gave me the VIN in March, my dealer told me they won't know anything else until the car is on the truck on its way to the dealer here in LA.
I guess that's better news, eh? The downside is that once in the US, you won't know where they are until the dealer calls you.Wow, so I have been tracking the wrong ship all these times

I wasn't too happy to hear this either. Pics posted of cars arriving to Lotus of Bellevue in Washington state were in closed carriers, as they should be. I'm wondering if the dealers are specifying the carriers or if Lotus is just loading them on whatever carriers they have that show up at the port.
Did someone answer the phone when you called Lotus USA? Because when I called I got VM and left a message and the next thing I know my dealer is contacting me asking what they can help me with, because they heard I contacted Lotus USA.

Wasn't by phone. I contacted someone directly at Lotus USA. Their name was listed on a shipping manifest.
Good news. I just got the call that my car is on a truck headed to California. 4/6 ship. Hoping it will be ready for pickup maybe May 6th. He said 8 cars on their way to Eurocar in Orange County. Oct 2021 order. FE2.0. In their first shipment. Pinch me...
Great to hear! Is this Eurocar's first batch? Please share your experience with the dealership throughout the delivery process. There are a bunch of us behind you!!
Mine was also on the 4/6 ship, coming to Galpin but have not heard from dealer (hopefully soon
)Car arrived via truck this morning. Was only able to put 50 miles on her before I had to go back to work, but man, it was worth the almost 3 year wait. I'm ecstatic.
Unfortunately after looking back through the pics I took it looks like the front driver's brake has the uneven wear problem. It only had 15 miles on when I took them so I'm hoping when I go and look later it may have corrected itself... but that's wishful thinking...

Let's all go.
Like an angry flash mob.
With picket signs reading...
"Fire Matt Windle"
"Where's my car?"
"Soon Never Comes"
"Lotus Lies"

If it's just a bit of non-linear surface rust, bedding the brakes a bit more aggressively might correct it.
If it's actually transferred/fractured pad material on the rotor, then it's going to need to be corrected by the dealer.
Take a look at my second pic, it looks like it's the latter
I'm at page 240, what kind of pleb only has 20 posts per page?
They call me "Mr Pleb".
Only if you have a dark sense of humor.There’s a DV joke in there somewhere too
To dream the impossible dream.... here it is, after almost 3 years. Got the paperwork by FedEx today, signing and sending it back in the next 20 minutes. Having it delivered by covered carrier. Looks like it'll be here sometime next week.
