USA/Canada Delivery Thread

I have started the process in early 2021. My company HQ happens to be in S-Valley and I live in Texas. I went to Houston and Austin and they were clueless at the time.. When I called Dallas and my friend the new owner took over the franchise (Was Park Place years ago then nothing until Earth Frank & Brad took over) I knew they still had stuff to figure out so I decided to stay # 1 at the California dealer. I truly could care less about the wait, I get to keep my cash in the bank at 5%.. My concern is the entire Lotus organization has not progressed when it comes to their back office which was the same when I put my deposit down on the first Elise to hit the USA. Nothing changed when I got my Evora in 2011 and now with the 2024 Emira seems like the same crazy BS. This is not my first rodeo with Lotus or a deposit on a sports car. I was hoping for the Lotus brand to be successful, that Lotus finally got their heads out of their A, I guess not.

Wow, you got an extra bolt that is special. This happened to me on my 2011 Evora, but I had 3 bouncing around the cabin. I figured out their location after doing a major Audio system upgrade, and solved the dash rattle too.

Oh no, they're 100% a disaster. No progress on the "doing business like grownups" front at all, that I can tell.
Since US deliveries have started, the wait has gone from just slow and irritating to downright upsetting (at least for me). The fact that people who ordered months or even years after me are already driving their cars while the rest of us still have zero updates just plain blows. My dealer hasn't even given me a VIN after almost 30 months and $15k...
As if the universe is testing my patience, earlier today I was following an Evora GT in very similar spec to my Emira. It sounded glorious but unfortunately was being driven by an asshat who was lane weaving and tailgating everyone who was in his way. Sigh. I might need therapy after this emotional rollercoaster!

There’s typically a loose nut behind the wheel in everything I drive.

Same here... Coincidence?
Looks like the nut has a green marking, meaning that it passed a quality check, so you should be good
That’s a mystery gift you received from Lotus.
none of us received one so far. We may get one soon

Waiting on 1503 a little further West of you
Mine is supposed to be delivered today as well but looks like FedEx running late. I think I will keep unopened until the car actually arrives .... and then surprise myself

I am almost the same, but I got a solid metal black car form of the Emira with "emira" engraved and filled with yellow paint on the bottom instead of a leather one. I like it

I’m told that the factory throws a few extra nuts in the cars just to keep us engaged when not driving.
