USA/Canada Delivery Thread

[Hell4Leather]

Been lurking here. Took my delivery from lotus of North Jersey this past Saturday. Deposit 5/22.

Cars been working great no issues so far. AC and brakes seem fine. A couple of tiny bubbles on ppf which they assured me should fade.

I did notice one very weird issue. There's a neon green sticker at the bottom of my shifter linkage area that shouldn't be there that I didn't notice until I got home you can actually see it in the pictures. Otherwise it has been a dream.

Curious if anyone receiving their cars now are finding they have black/white badges. Hard to understand if the ones we've seen in posts so far have been swaps or if they came that way upon delivery. Hoping for yellow badges on my 2.0 Seneca and no surprises.

GT4 has the black and white front logo (of course it’s blocked in the photo) and different a different logo on the sides of the car.

Jealous. SF Bay area, so Boardwalk Lotus? Or SF/Los Gatos?

Badge color issue has largely been put to rest some time ago. The owner of the Emira who posted photos with black/white badges responded that he replaced them with ones he purchased from Lotus UK. All Emiras are coming with Yellow/Black badges as far as we've seen so far.

Atlantic Sun left Halifax today, eta New York May 9. Haven’t heard any news of Emira’s on the water though so it’s likely a mystery until it’s unloaded, last week’s ship was empty 😔.

My dealer gave me my vin last week and said car was on the water. I wonder if it's on that ship.

Good luck with that. I've had my VIN for months and my car has been "on the water"... twice, LOL, but where it is now or when I will get it seems to be a mystery. ( My order was confirmed April 2022, IIRC..it seems like a lifetime away.)

Just keep breathing....

Ahhh damn lol. Well I hope we both get our cars soon!

...nearly 3 years later, the day finally came. Special thanks to Ray and company at Lotus of North Jersey for making the experience incredible. 6 hours into ownership, and my fingers are crossed 🤞 that no serious issues arise, but so far this car is incredible. The feel and the sound... combined with the comfort... I can finally say it was worth the wait. I'm looking forward to my morning comute.

(For those wondering, I was on the 4/6 boat and the car arrived at my dealer in NJ 4 weeks later)

I swear they really actually are delivering these cars in LIFO order.

Yeah... I'm an example of that for sure. My dealer got about 30 cars, mostly VINs ranging from 1500-2200 before mine got there (0473).

Congrats!
I see you got a new car inspection sticker that expires in 2 years (the same with me) - I think they screwed up, NJ state does not require an inspection of the new vehicles for the first 5 years. I will be at the dealer in the morning to get my car fixed and will raise this issue as well.

Noticed the same thing immediately... not too worried, I'm sure they'll correct that for me.
