USA/Canada Delivery Thread

I can't believe I'm so desperate for Emira news that I'm logging into Facebook...

Who knows the full case, but for anyone still waiting on an FE 1.0 confirmation here's what I got today from my dealer: "Your car has been finished in production. Likely just waiting for a ship."

 

[Pegasi]

So are we confirming 1.0's and 2.0's will be delivered at the same time? Or mixed together?

My dealer has said they have two 2.0s arriving with the 1.0s.

I met an awesome guy named Neal at EArth Motorcars in Dallas. He let me come down and take an Emira for a rip in October.

He said this to me earlier today:


"Our first shipment will arrive here today around 4pm!!!
We will get 5 on this first truck load!"

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up

They did arrive 2 x DZ and 2x Nimbus
More arriving next week.
I will post pictures of my HY when it gets there

Every photo I see of a new one makes me want to switch my color choice. I wonder of Lotus of Dallas would let me come in and see one of the DV's in person (ultimately what I went with). It's so hard to actually get a sense of its color compared with the others. I was torn between HY to be more flashy and sporty and DV to be more subtle and because I like green. If there was an isotope green I wouldn't have hesitated.

Same for me, got a call from Shane today as well, FE1.0, exiting, finally…….

I got my VIN today from Shane!

Cars are in Michigan!View attachment 34171

Yellow looks sharp, but the Daytime running lights are Orange, not white??

Looks like they have the hazard lights on while offloading them. DRL’s are still white.

Once cars arrive at your dealer share the news with the group! Anyone know if Manhattan Motorcars has received any units? If the boat landed in Baltimore I’m thinking east coast dealers may get them first.

They are next to my office so will check today.

It doesn't look like *ANY* of the CARB states, of which many are close to Baltimore, have been notified that their cars are here in the US, certainly no VINS, and no indication of delivery. The dealers in MD, PA, NJ, NY all are within a 1-4 hour drive from the port of Baltimore and are much closer than Florida or Michigan. So far, not a peep.

I forgot where I read it, but it was suggested/confirmed that the first shipment of 150 cars were only headed for non-CARB dealers. There is some method to the madness.

For what it’s worth, I saw DV for the first time yesterday. It is a very nice metallic color and definitely green during the day. I would pick it over HY if I wanted a less flashy color. Cameras don’t do it justice IMO.

Agreed. I was in the same boat. DV felt too dark, HY is good looking and I saw it in person. But I have a yellow car so I’m going with VR as an alternative based mostly on configurator pics and how I think it will look based on the other solid colors, HY, Seneca, etc. configurator and paint samples can only go so far…

That's good to hear! I did go in and look at the small circular samples before sending my config, and I liked the metallic look of DV, the HY looked a bit one-note without the extra depth from my metallic flake. I'm hoping in the Texas sun the green will come out a bit more.

I got HY as colors were limited for FE1.0's, VR looks good. There is a video a few pages back that compare VR to MR.

Haha same reason I skipped all of the silver/grays since that's what my current car is and I wanted something different. Maybe once the type 135 comes out I'll want something not so dark as DV and will go super bright then.

Anyone got photos of Nimbus?

I'm a Nimbus as well and that's the only color I haven't seen with these US dealer delivery pictures
