Assuming at port 4/6-7, then roughly 2 weeks in Baltimore then 1-2 weeks transport across country. 4/26 is possible, but don't be surprised if the delivery happens in early May. Just know all those behind the scenes want to get your Emira (along with everyone else) as quickly as possible. Kiyoshi

A few of the California dealers have cars enroute from Baltimore. ETA at dealerships is a week or so, then Pre-Delivery Inspection & Prep and the DELIVERIES!!!

Collect some "data", download a dB app to your phone, use the A-scale, Slow response. Take a few readings at say 70mph in your Emira and other cars you drive (if possible on the same stretch of road in similar weather) and post your data. Kiyoshi

2 weeks on the water + 1-2 weeks at US port + 1-3 weeks for in US transport Best case 4 weeks (east coast dealer). Worst case 7-8 weeks (west coast dealer). Worst worst case is the dealer in Hawaii.

The GGLC is working with the dealers and plans are to place a letter in each car at delivery. If that fails, new Emira owner can contact the GGLC and the club will send you a link, instructions and code. Cheers, Kiyoshi
