USA/Canada Delivery Thread

[Hell4Leather]

3 month delay? HA, we're approaching 2 years of delays at this point, don't forget first Emira deliveries were originally slated for Spring 2022... An extra 3 months is a joke to those of us who've had deposits since 2021.

Well, another Forum member on a different thread said the local dealer is offering cars on the lot at $10,000 over.

Yeah, but I'm not paying for scalped cars. I refuse to normalize that.

So, given a worst-case outcome of the best-case scenario of the 2/12-3/13 timeframe being correct, the CARB state cars will be here mid-to-late April... the cars would have been built for 4+ months.

For those of us that live in front plate states, has anyone seen Lotus’s solution? A missing front plate is not a moving violation in Virginia. I see lots of Teslas without them.

To be honest, the stock front plate mount is not that bad. I am not sure that an offset mount would look any better. I am in VA and I "hear" that front plate enforcement depends on where you are at.

Same.

Someone on here made a plinth for the front plate. I think just search plinth and you'll find the stl

Here. From @Joel

Alternative Front Number Plate mount (3d printed)

So for a while now I've been pondering about mounting the front number plate at a slightly leaned back angle, rather than on the original plinth that came with the car. Wondering if that might lessen the impact of the front plate. I have a 3d printer to hand so set out to design and build...

The dealership called, your car is ready, have some paperwork to sign, tank is full.
Dog jumps on bed and wakes me to take her on her walk. The sun is just cresting the horizon…. This month I get an Emira the start of something new.
Keeping my fingers crossed and Smiling all day… Enjoy the beautiful day!!!

I don’t disagree, was adding to your statement about how some were complaining about the wait of a few months while some had waited years. Others, don’t have to wait at all. 20k overs is what some dealers were charging at the beginning of deposit collection anyway. Real head scratcher.
