Drivers Display Issue

fcajr · Jun 20, 2025

I went in to the dealer to get software updates for the ECU and infotainment system last week and on my way home, I lost my drivers display. Lotus US asked me to disconnect battery and discharge capacitors to attemp a fix at home. That didn't work, so went back today because dealer, Lotus US, and Lotus UK wanted to reload the software thinking it was corrupted. That also was unsuccessful. Now saying the dash has to come apart to replace the display, It's a First Edition version 2 with less than 3k miles delivered April 2024. Lotus is saying this has never happened before. Strange coincidence that this all occured imediately following the software update. Has anyone else had, or heard of a similar incident?? Not thrilled about having the dash taken apart!

It's under warranty, right?

Never heard of that before. Build date might be more helpful then delivery date. With CARB passing on 28 February 2024, a lot of cars were delivered in March/April/May of 2024.

How do you find the build date?

Decal (with the tire pressures) on the drivers side door jam.

Yes, it,s under waranty. Just strange that I was told I'm the one and only by Lotus US ....and even stranger that the car was flawless until the software was updated. It started only minutes after I drove away. I don't blame the dealer as I was right in the shop with him while he did the updates. Just odd!
