USA/Canada Delivery Thread

[@Life411]

I like speed but motorcycles scare me. I wouldn’t trust myself or others on the road when riding one. Hell of a performance bargain though.

Fair. I sold my last motorcycle when I bought my Elise. The roads are dangerous, so you have to be an extremely defensive driver and always aware. Fortunately I had an uncle who was a lifelong rider who gave me some great advice on this. Serves me well driving cars too...and it doesn't hurt that I select high visibility Orange (Elise) and Yellow (Emira)

Dealer just called to say my car (VIN showing on July 4 shipment) might be ready as early as this Friday.

That was fast shipping. Are you in Toronto?

Yes. I was surprised at how fast it was, too. Struggling to make space in the garage.

I used the contact form

well i guess i'll try again. this time specifically asking for VIN instead of a vague "update"

also please

i used the contact form

That's what I did too. I used "delivery" as the reason for my inquiry.

Did you forget to say please?

I used the contact form and asked about auto v6 deliveries. The rep says auto delivery has started.

Did you ask specifically about the NA market? Because deliveries for the auto has most certainly not commenced here.

More US cars arrived in Baltimore on 7/8/2024. Lotus seems to be using Hoegh with some regularity in addition to ACL. Still just manual FE cars.

Bummer, no cnd cars on this one ?

Nope, sorry...

3696 seems so far away after seeing the vins on this list. Hoping it makes a July boat but unlikely.

Your car was delivered on July 8th. It is on Nova's tracking sheet.

@Nova: I did. Please see screenshot. Not sure how much to believe the response.

Interesting! Maybe she means delivery to dealers. I do think it's 50/50 likelihood that some are already on the ocean. We've been hearing chatter about Automatic V6 production and past experience shows that many of these chatters turn out to be true.

Fingers crossed that cars will start showing up soon for real actual delivery to end customers.

Yes, it is! Totally unexpected.

 

[zoomtt]

@Nova is the GOAT! I operated my timeline based on his tracking sheet. Once I saw my car on his list (July 4), I sold my Corvette C8 that same day to my local dealer to make space. Waiting now for the Emira to get to my dealer.

Dear Parasran,

If you believe your Lotus source, I have a bridge to sell you!
Like Nova said, fingers are crossed but for your own mental health, don't buy in to the info you received.

Looking forward to your comparison of the two cars, including once the shiny penny syndrome wears off.
My Emira exceeds everything I loved about my Esprit .

 

[EHmira]

Yes, it is! Totally unexpected.

Congrats! looks like they shipped the US ones before the Cnd ones.
