"Morning After"
A picture of my Emira at Katie's Cars and Coffee (Great Falls, VA) on 20 April 2024, I picked up the car the day prior from Lotus of DC, it was the first Lotus Emira Lotus of DC delivered (19 April 22024).
I was the first delivery of Lotus of DC on 19 April 2024, Troy (Troy from Facebook) listed a 13 April 2024 date? 2nd delivery from Lotus of DC was 22 April 2024. Lotus of DC received their first 3 Emiras on 16 April.
Concern with this request/form is anyone on the internet can post anything...
My car landed on 6 May in Baltimore- i have no idea when I can pick up at dealer - silence.. Rumor is 5-6 weeks from landing. but i am not sure any cars were actually delivered by CARB state Dealers yet.
Ah, sorry, missed that it was an Auto. I presume builds for V6 Autos would not start until CARB for V6 Autos is approved. My guess is deliveries starting in the summer, best case.
My VIN showed it arrived in Baltimore on 6 March - and i am in (and my dealer) is in a CARB state. I have not picked up car yet - and not given a date for pick up.
I am not, I had a car that had PPF issues, swore I would never use again. It was painful and stressful to remove. I plan to put a ceramic coating on myself, not sure which one yet.

It is hard to tell if they do or do not - from the link.
What will happen in 2024? 16th century seer Nostradamus predicts naval war, climatic catastrophe, rise of a new monarch in Britain, and Lotus Emira deliveries in the U.S. as follows:
1 April 2024: FE 1.0 V6 Manual deliveries start
29 April 2024: FE 2.0 V6 Manual deliveries start
3 June 2024: FE...
Pumpkin Pride. Since no one in the US has taken delivery, and they are only "US spec" I do not see any one changing them out yet. I also do not see them being as easy to change out as on a 996 or 997. Best case you will be able to open up the headlight assembly to modify.
Totally agree, very small impact if added on aftermarket. I am sensitive to requirements creep in my professional life. I was looking at it as an original requirement, where the requirement drives a different control system then snowballs into many different systems suppliers.
