USA CARB stickers available now so Emiras should get delivered soon

Hello Lotus Emira members in the USA

At the Dallas location, CARB stickers have arrived, and they are placing them under the hood supposedly, therefore, your Emira's should be delivered soon (my guess is 1-2 weeks across the nation), for those that are lucky enough to have their cars in the USA as the first 500 units shipped per Lotus (or are on the way once CARB stickers done).

I received the same email. Let's hope the gift is delivering the car soon, as I don't need a free pen

Did the dealer do the full ceramic? Was the cost comparable? Ceramic is the “older technology” I’m told but it seems to be the most useful in the case of the Emira’s dreadfully thin protective layer.

Front ppf + full ceramic, I was told since they had so much interest they brought in a guy from Xpel to do all the installs. I didn't get quotes on the 2 separately

My dealer has Expel as well. Their prices are posted. Thanks.

I literally just got off the phone with Tony @ Gator and asked him about this. He made a call to Lotus about this claim about the CARB stickers arriving and his understanding is that these are just stickers to correct something that was inaccurate on the car's window stickers...the actual CARB certification is still pending. FWIW.

Well, shat.

I guess the “no adjustments needed” is wishful thinking?

The stickers they received were updated verbiage emissions stickers, not CARB stickers. Just confirmed that right now with Lotus Cars USA.

I've gathered all the different letters from Lotus to North American order holders and spoke to my dealer. Put this all together into one update video if anyone is interested. Heard there is more brewing on the CARB front and about to dig into that. TGIF!

Man, these Lotus people/dealers don't know what is going on. Thanks for the update. They said they were CARB stickers but obviously they were fooled by Lotus. Seems disorganized. I called and talked to my dealer/advisor, and they still have no updates. Sigh...

Cool. Bear actually seems to have proactively called Lotus and found out. My dealer made claims that didn't pan out and were either given wrong information or just made up a story of 'carb stickers are in' and got me all excited, or didn't get the memo that these stickers were entirely for something different.

More information about CARB certification is going to come out in the next few days. If anyone wants to know the details, they can call me, and I can verbally tell you. Other than that, I will post what we can officially disclose, in writing, as soon as possible.

Is that the 'LOTUS' meaning of few or the real meaning of few. You even threw a 'soon' reference in there too.

Thanks Bear. We all appreciate the communication.

Well this doesn’t sound positive…

Please don't say unbearable.

This is the Lotus way.

This is the Lotus way.

They added lightness by not applying the CARB sticker.
