USA/Canada Delivery Thread

When is the next ship from the UK due to arrive?

 
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.
 

Damn! Still not in that batch

Are you on Nova's new batch?
 
OMG IT IS!!! I can't believe it lol. After all this time... I need a drink lol.
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?

That is the Atlantic Sea. Discharged simply means it has been unloaded from the vessel. At that point, the freight forwarder assumes responsibility and arranges for it to be inspected, processed for importation, and released.

There is *some* rumor from a dealer that the cars have to be transported to Baltimore for pre delivery inspection, but I'm not sure if that's the case. I just don't know. It could happen, I guess. The freight forwarder, Wallenius Wilhelmsen, also has a vehicle processing center in Newark, NJ. To the extent that they have special "Lotus" guys in Baltimore, I hope they can just fly the guy to Newark to process these cars rather than transport the cars to Baltimore - which I wager is a lot more expensive.

Who knows.
