Congratulations! Speaking as one who had the dumb luck to end up with one of the early deliveries, I am so happy to see some of the major contributors to this forum finally approaching the “finish line”. @Eagle7 it seems like forever ago that you were keeping us occupied with your 3D renders and now the real thing is near. This thread has been excruciating at times, going from the highs of CARB approval (remember that?) to the depths of despair as many still remained in the dark about their deliveries. Here’s hoping the floodgates are beginning to open and all of you have your patience rewarded. It’s cliche to say at this point, but damn this thing is so worth the wait!To dream the impossible dream.... here it is, after almost 3 years. Got the paperwork by FedEx today, signing and sending it back in the next 20 minutes. Having it delivered by covered carrier. Looks like it'll be here sometime next week.

Just took/taking the Evora for a spin. That’s helping taking the edge off.Deep breaths, friend! It will come.

I know. I remember when doing those renders thinking we'd have our cars in 6 months lol. None of us dreamed it would take over 2 years. Even though it's going to be great to have the car and driving around, there was just something about the "we're all in this together" nature of the long wait that I'm going to miss at some level. This forum was the first thing I checked in the morning, and often the last thing at night lol.Congratulations!

She's a beauty!Thank you Lotus of Western New York.
i've been busy driving all around and no where at the same time.
I picked up my Magma over tan Emira on 4/20/24, A day to remember, the wait is over!
Did you happen to chat with ‘em? I appreciated that Kyle and Tom invited us to text or call day or night in their email…I appreciated less that I’ve not been getting responses to my texts 😂I stopped by Boardwalk today. They must have had about 10 Emira’s on the lot. Stickers all reflected FE1 MSRP.
The frustration is real... as Porter or Nova said, once the boat lands (mine 4/6) you're in limbo until your dealer gets word it's on the way. I'm build no. 0473 and I've been among the first orders at my store, yet I've seen like 20 cars from the 3/29 and 4/6 boats go through with 1100-2100 sequence numbers while mine is still sitting somewhere, all lonely. This "first in, last out" stuff is for the birds! I really feel for the December docked people...
Congratulations! Fantastic spec. How was the delivery experience? I am waiting for mine from the same dealer (FE 2.0 V6 Auto)Thank you Lotus of Western New York.

I concur. The idea that vehicles are being delivered without any regard to wait time, while currently practical for a Fu$#$'d up company like Lotus, is really infuriating. So tired of being told it will be soon.The frustration is real... as Porter or Nova said, once the boat lands (mine 4/6) you're in limbo until your dealer gets word it's on the way.

DM me who your sales person is. I'm also at that dealership, also with an FE 1, on the 4/6 boat in my case. My salesperson has responded when I email... usually a day later timing wise. If you want to be referred to him, I can give you the name in DMWell, I gave up on being patient waiting for Park Place in Bellevue to respond to my email i sent them on March 11th in response to their email to contact them. I called them Monday, they said they'd leave a note for the salesperson. Nothing.
At this point, I'm really starting to consider asking for a different salesman. Absolutely the worst dealership I have ever interacted with.
Same, mine usually gets back to me within a day even if his responses are short and vague. My car arrived there Monday, I'm just waiting for them to tell me when I can pay for it and how to have it shipped. Trying to be patient since they're apparently getting 14 cars dropped off per week, but it's getting tough.DM me who your sales person is.

Exciting, but also kinda frustrating. July 2021 order through them, FE1.0, was on the same boat as yours. Still no correspondence. Which means its probably not in the first delivery.Good news. I just got the call that my car is on a truck headed to California. 4/6 ship. Hoping it will be ready for pickup maybe May 6th. He said 8 cars on their way to Eurocar in Orange County. Oct 2021 order. FE2.0. In their first shipment. Pinch me...
