Has anyone been able to pinpoint what it is that is getting wet and causes the problems? Seems like something that could be prevented if you knew what needs protection from water.

There's a junction box under the front hood where a bunch of key systems interconnect. From what I understand, the wiring loom on a pretty significant range of cars wasn't properly waterproofed there.
It's a total unknown whether the problem has been solved yet or not, because Lotus does not communicate, and also doesn't post TSB information (to VSIC) as required by right-to-repair laws in many jurisdictions around the world. There should be a simple technical service bulletin available there that describes the issue and indicates the range of VINs that Lotus expects may be potentially affected. They did this for the Evora, but for some reason have chosen not to do so for Emira. So owners are completely in the dark, in a low information state, and dealers have no financial incentive to provide such information, and so will generally not do so.
I simply don't understand why Lotus seems to try to maintain such weird secrecy about things that shouldn't be secret.

CarWow…..take that with a grain of salt
Word on facebook is that dealers are being invoiced for transport costs from port to the dealer and cars are on trucks right now.
No I don't know which dealers.
No I don't know if all dealers are getting their cars.
No I don't know if cars from dealers in carb states are getting their cars or not.

my dealer told me that UFO's have landed
From Facebook: Should have some actual photos of a U.S. spec car arriving at a dealer in Detroit in the next day or two.
Will see: U.S.-spec headlights, visible (or not) shift linkage, rumored rear “bumperettes” around license plate.
BIG, IF TRUE!

Unless you are driving the semi-truck with a sign that says “It’s me MIGZ”, with todays date, I’m not sure I can trust you.
(Just to be clear, this is a joke that I assumed MIGZ would get, it's not actual criticism)

Spoke to Lotus, we will have the see through shifter. Not sure this was addressed a few posts ago. Also Carb will take more time no cars will be in customers hands till after carb approval thinking January 2024. Maybe get lucky have it for Christmas that would be nice.

Same dealer told me cars arrived at the port and are awaiting transportation to dealerships next 2 days. Some lucky
person will be able to see their Emira this week/ early next week… we should start see pictures soon..Be positive and believe in the force..
I just got a call from Lotus Cape Fear in Wilmington, NC this morning. My Emira is on a boat and I have a confirmed VIN for my Nimbus! I checked NHTSA site and the VIN came up clean with all the right details. Dealer stated that "end of January was a very conservative estimate" for CARB approval so there's still a chance we get our cars by Christmas (although I suspect we should still expect January so as not to be disappointed again).
