Thanks. June del. Updated in August. No probs at all until Sep 😬

I had my first start issue away from home tonight. Previously had a couple in garage. As it was dark I noticed that with car locked waiting for reset process, the rear lights remained illuminated. Is that one of the known symptoms?

My TP monitor display has switched to bar from PSI - not sure how it did it or how to switch back. Any ideas?

Adam's pole lap was 3 sec faster than the first non-Lotus (Supra) - ballast incoming, I suspect

I enjoyed driving my Turbo Esprit to UK GT races in the 1990s to watch turbocharged Esprits beating their rivals. Hoping I will get to repeat this experience soon going to watch Emira GT4s in my supercharged Emira!

Great showing but I just hope this performance doesn’t end up seeing the Emira GT4 stymied by a big increase in BOP ballast Pics via https://www.macau.grandprix.gov.mo

Showroom closed and blacked out today, preparing for Emeya launch event? (Update: it's getting ready for an "influencer event" tomorrow)

Slight rearrangement of the display since I last passed the showroom - now a Nimbus/BP on black rims at the front, and joined by a Type 136 pedaller. (And that's not evidence of coolant leak, they were cleaning the floor...)

Adam at Ab Lotus has just tested an I4, I'll check if he's got any clarity on status!

SitRep on UK I4 demonstrators, anybody? (as it's almost the end of October :confused:)

Plastic fantastic x2! (carbonfibre composite 787 'bombing a GRP composite Lotus...) Nice to see a Hethel Yellow/BP V6 FE in my office car park

My update was almost 2 months ago and I've so far had two start faults after many starts (but I still don't go anywhere without a 10mm spanner in the car!)

I had the same issue and called CC after a week. I got through quickly to a helpful chap who said I needed to send through the expiry date of the card I used for the deposit and a reason for cancellation (annoyingly, my original email had said "please advise if you need additional info", but he...

I've posted my Emira "Andretti edition" impression before, but I'd love to see one (although maybe not own one myself!).

If this is, as it appears, a serious "downgrade" introduced as part of the latest software update then perhaps Lotus should consider suspending the update programme until it has identified the cause? Otherwise, it could potentially create a bigger problem than the one it set out to resolve with...

Does anyone know if Lotus Cars has recognised this is a widespread problem and whether it is working on a rectification plan yet?

Same today for me for first time - nothing but a click when I pressed the start switch, plus brake service warning message. Reconnected trickle charger and it started straight away. I also had the software update last month...

Is there any estimate of the proportion of current UK V6s being offered that are flippers (I guess versus people who wanted to be early adopters and are exiting, or those "disillusioned" with Emira and/or Lotus)? I presume some of the cars being offered are from the orphan batch

Wonder how long it will be until we see the I4 crop up in the UK classifieds...

First proper sighting in the wild (other than my own!)

Saw a lovely Nimbus Emira (with BP) cruise through Newbury earlier today

Hopefully the EV strategy with Emeya and its siblings is what will ensure there is still a Lotus to cherish in 50 years' time

Always good to see two yellow four-seat Lotus on the cover of magazines... 😀

Latest info from a visit this week is that some Merch is on display (a few jackets, keyrings etc) but they still couldn’t sell anything due to tech issues with payment system. Evija still expected to join display this month, but an Emeya is not expected before next Jan...

You'd have hoped mister Head of attributes would have picked up on the gearshift issues before the press did...

What's the latest regarding I4 demonstrators arriving at at UK "agents"? Still hoping for this month?

Any black Emiras delivered in UK (or anywhere) yet? I guess the first cars will be I4s so no dels yet.

Autocar opinion piece: Lotus is changing - and it's high time our perception did, too https://www.autocar.co.uk/opinion/new-cars/lotus-changing-and-its-high-time-our-perception-did-too

If I was buying an EV GT, I'd love one of these on my driveway. The Emeya's distinctive, Ben Payne-led styling Looks better than, and different to, all the others on the market currently, I reckon. Pics via Car and Driver

Classic comms from Lotus - 2 Emira order update emails within minutes yesterday, the first saying production of my I4 would start in "Q1 2023", the second saying in "November 2023"...

Love how the Type 14's dash shape echoes the beautiful exterior lines 😍 This beauty was at the Silverstone Festival last weekend
