USA/Canada Delivery Thread

[Pegasi]

Okay this is going to suck. I just emailed my sales guy at Park Place in Bellevue, and he says:

I've asked him how he knows. Waiting on his reply.

Ok, pumping brakes. No biggie. I will just wait. Thanks for verifying. Girl Scout Cookies have not been opened so no big deal.

 

[Time2Fly]

We need a veteran forum member and Naples buyer to confirm.

And a moderator to confirm the IP of @wen_emira isn't from CARB HQ.

 

[LuckysDad]

We won't know for certain either way until Monday.
Everything else is conjecture at this point.

Got his reply:

I've asked for further clarification, if his meeting was internal or with Lotus. It could be possible since the document was obtained through a FOI request, that it might have gotten released before Lotus received it through regular channels.

 

[Eagle7]

I don't know how this works, but do the dealers (or manufacturer) receive an actual label that has to be applied to the car? Is it something that's printed and sent to them, or does the manufacturer have to print them?

 

[Rupes]

So we need three more events to happen.

V6 Auto Deliveries to North America/Canada
I4 to North America/Canada
BASE Configuration open worldwide

Let's go Lotus!

Don’t be greedy.

And here is the response from Dallas

I think anyone thinking that a dealer right now is going to say 100% that it is real is just an unrealistic expectation. I forgot who said it earlier, but the forms will go to Hethel and then they will distribute that information to the dealers through Lotus USA. This will happen at the EARLIST on Monday. Dealers won't be able to confirm until then

 

[Gprodigy]

at this point, there should be sport bets on actual USA/CANADA deliveries dates/weeks.

 

[Eagle7]

Sigh.... it's not real.

I would sure like to know who did this though.

Yeah the way I’m thinking about it with this car launch is history will repeat itself and some of the dealers appear to be one of the last ones to get the info

Then how do multiple ppl say that Naples has called them!?

 

[Nova]

And all the cars being stored at Baltimore have to get shipped to the CARB states that haven't received any cars yet.

I am not aware of *any* carb state cars stored at Baltimore.

Naples has made a mistake?

Park Place has had bad info all through this process.

Where are they stored then?

Dealers have always lagged behind everyone else in getting info. So I wouldn't place much stock in them not knowing about it.

Agreed. Crowd sourcing info from forums has been way more reliable than dealers
