I remember thinking the wait was almost over at that point. How naïve.Im old enough to remember when the Emira passed CARB certification... (he said patiently waiting for his car in California...)
The NYC offload is likely actually Newark. The "Port of New York & New Jersey" has most of their auto facility on the NJ side. Newark has the big RoRo terminal:

Here's the layout from the Port of NY website, you can see the tip of Manhattan on the upper right for context:

[edit] I thought they still used the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal for some of this stuff but it's apparently no longer used for some reason. Logistics from there by ground are probably harder?
[edit] Oh wow, they've repurposed it to become an offshore wind logistics/staging terminal for building massive offshore wind farms. That's crazy. https://www.empirewind.com/2024/02/01/south-brooklyn-marine-terminal-design-approval/
My BMW were always offloaded in the Elizabeth/Newark port. But BMW uses Wallenius Wilhelmsen to ship their cars.Looking at satellite maps... NY/NJ looks more geared to Auto dispatching than Norfolk. 🤷🏻♂️ Like you said... it's all guesswork at this moment.

Maybe they are waiting for the CARB website to be updatedIt is perplexing that no Emiras have been loaded and delivered since the CARB approval date of 2/29. The last Emiras to arrive were loaded on the Atlantic Sail on 2/26, and unloaded on 3/9. So this Saturday will make three weeks since any Emira deliveries. I expected the floodgates to open after CARB approval, but there has been nothing. I know some have heard their cars are "on a ship" and hopefully they will be on the next one coming in. Fingers crossed that next one has a couple hundred Emiras!
When did you receive your vin?Well apparently I'm getting my car next week... fingers crossed! It's en-route to the dealer now via transport, so if I'm super lucky it's Saturday, otherwise probably Monday/Tuesday.
Your gift pizza goes with the trunk warming compartment.Next gift for us from Lotus?
Wonder how that transportation will be carried out... hopefully hauled and not driven.
My car is not on the list 😭Big update! 296 cars have landed in Newark (NJ/NY)!!
