Hey Nova - I think there was a shipment originally scheduled for arrival on 3/30 in Baltimore - any way to track that vessel down?

That's the Atlantic Sea. It's the one with the 296 cars being unloaded in NY.

I've compiled all of the VINs I could find for the US Emira shipments. What's missing is that I could only find 99 of the 150 VINs for the first shipment dated 12/1/2023. So this list is incomplete. This list will be updated as new shipments arrive.




@Nova , my VIN shows up on your 3/29 list. Do you happen to know what ship that is? On the same vein, do you want discharged from vessel means from a practical standpoint? In other words, what happens now? It was, of course, scheduled for BMore. So now it gets trucked down there to BMore and then over to the dealer? Anyone have a sense of how long all that takes? Wonder if it has to go to BMore first...

This forum has way more information in its 557 pages than anything the dealers have been getting from Lotus...More dealers should be on the forum so they are better informed - they certainly aren't getting information from Lotus directly.
This is so true. I emailed my sales guy who just replied. I had asked him if he had gotten any news or updates from Lotus and he replied "No they have not said anything".

I wonder if these situations like yours, Eagle etc may mean the car failed QC?
I have no idea. There's also the possibility that something happened to it; hit, wrecked, stolen, etc. Damaged at the docks? Fell into the water? Dead battery and wouldn't start to be loaded on the boat? It could be any number of things. All I can do is continue to be patient. Hopefully it will be on the next boat.

Are you on Nova's new batch?

HURRAH! I had a feeling, _all_ of my reservation pals around me who curiously weren't on the 3/28 boat were on this one.
I'm almost in shock here. Weren't you one of the guys who got the service manual? Do you have a link for it?
