Appreciate the offer but I’m dead set on my spec, V6MT shadow grey lower black pack, black rims, red interior, at least now that shipments have resumed it’s just a matter of time

Any way to check if any of the cars that were delivered to the US on 7/15 have made it to dealerships?

Nope, but one would expect that they should be very soon if not already on their way. It's not a huge number of cars so the port inspection and prep should not take that long. That said... who knows... I'd say up to a 2 month delay is probably still reasonable?

I just exchanged a few texts with my dealer in NY who received a new Emira. As far as I'm aware, this is the first Lotus they've received since the tariff fiasco started. Unfortunately, it was not my spec. However, I was given a VIN number for my car, which is still "inbound". After obsessively scanning through the list of VINs on Nova's sheet, I don't see it listed. It seems this roller coaster of emotions may be going around for another lap.

Same here man. Refreshing this thread daily hoping Nova updates the spreadsheet haha, which by the way, thanks @Nova for keeping this updated even now that you have your car. Very much appreciated.

I've compiled all of the VINs I could find for the US and Canadian Emira shipments. What's missing is that I could only find 99 of the 150 VINs for the first shipment dated 12/1/2023. So this list is incomplete. This list will be updated as new shipments arrive.

Anyone know if there has been a shipment since July 15th? I think my VIN ends in 11187 and is coming to Canada. Thanks.

30 cars arrived recently for the US but nothing for Canada. I will add the 30 cars in a couple of days.

Edit: the 30 cars that arrived on 8/20 has been added to the tracking sheet.

Does it help to know you're not alone? I can't even imagine where this car they gave me the VIN number for might be. At this point part of me wants to cancel the order and get my deposit back at the one year mark in November (I have an out clause if they fail to deliver for a year) just out of spite. Maybe get a 2026 from another dealer? Help me make sense of it all. Shout out to @Nova for the info.

Helps some actually, haha. I’m not going to cancel, too long a wait to start again. Deposit Feb 2024, order locked Nov 2024. Funny enough my parents this past weekend gave me a box of my old grade school stuff they kept so I could show my girls. Came across a project from high school and saw this. I remember always wanting a lotus.
