Low battery will trigger all sort of warning/error messages. When was the last time you drove your car? When did you get your car and has it been back to the dealer for software/firmware update since? It's commonly advised that you hook up the provided battery tender if you're not planning on...

Did your dealer tell you that you may get slapped with tariff?

Nice to meet you too. Join us on discord here. we have a bunch of owners that likes to tinker with their Emira and a few of us are in the Bay Area. https://discord.gg/GCneRfAH

I'm glad that they managed to get your config through after the Feb 18th cutoff. Make sure you get an confirmation. It should be in the form of a multi pages pdf file with a "Approved Customer Submission ID", Dealer and your info and deposit amount. then a list of your configs.

Did you ever submitted a build spec and receive a confirmation?

I'll take the Black with gold line but I would replace the logo with JPS logo and put a number on the door.

all depends on the residue. Actually a good deal if you do plan on buying it out after 3 years like I do.

FE 2..0 price was announced back in 2023

Did you adjust for inflation between when you got the FE to now?

Nope. All it means is that Lotus finally got the V6 base configurator up on their site after being almost a year late ( should have gone up mid 2024). If you pay attention, You will see that they also have the FE i4 configurator up which is no longer available. Try calling a dealer and tell them...

i4 touring suspension is firmer in the rear than the V6 touring at least in the US.

Met up with another Emira owner that want to try the i4 so he's taking it for the weekend and he's going to install the magnetic shift pedals for me.

It's good to know that's it seems to be just a software fault and the signals are actually working. I'll probably just wait till I done with the 1K miles breakin then go for an oil change and see if they have a fix.

Yea they're quiet after order confirmation. The next message you'll get will probably be the shipping and tracking confirmation.

Silicon Valley, shipped Feb 19th, arrive Feb 28th.. Took them a few days to ship so I would say about 2 weeks total.

I got mine last week but I'm thinking about adding a spacer to get them closer to the steering wheel with longer screws.

Probably something new introduce with the latest software updates.

Did the dealer connect the trickle charger leads on the battery for yo If he did, you may want to hook it up to the provide trickle charger if you don't plan on driving it for a few days.

Ah, you're not in the US, We just got ours last month and 430 miles so far

Wow, you gone through your break in already?

At the Santa Cruz Wharf with Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in the backdrop.

Consider yourself lucky. Look around and see how much price have gone up on everything around you. Restaurant prices around here have gone up 20% on average in the last 4 years.

All that means is that Lotus have enough allocation from Toyota to offer V6 base for the rest of the world. US sources have already said that there maybe further V6 base allocation for the US if there were any left over after that. V6 production will end late 2025 or early 2026.

Yep, Base V6 and i4 order will open for the rest of the world and the Turbo SE will be released. Sucks to be those that have the Turbo with 360hp.

Met up with another i4 owner yesterday after another drive down to Santa Cruz (trying to get through break in ASAP) but then I went up Hwy 1 to Pacifica for the meet. Nice to get a chance to drive an i4 with sport suspension and cup 2.

When did you pickup your car and how many miles so far?

US owner 250 miles, Have not experience this. Do you have a dashcam? if you do, you can probably find the recording and show it to the service people.

Thanks. I did check the A45 manual beforehand it say no SPort+ and Race but Sport is OK and I do keep it easy on the throttle.

Looks like a V6 Base and they should all arrive by Aug 2025 or earlier. Having a VIN usually means that your car have entered the production line in which case, you'll probably see in Apr/May.

I would definitely contact your dealer and ask them to run you VIN against the update records.

That may not be the update for the delay as the delay is not in the TCU as there's no such delay on the A45s. It's the Slow Geely OS and whatever software datapath that they use that causes the delay and it looks like they finally managed to streamline it

That part was never in the UK (UK manual was just no track and constant over 4K) manual so it's just added for all the crazies in the US 😁 but I hear you, I have it in sport once in a while but I never go pass 1/2 throttle. Can't wait to see what happen after breakin

Target have this one for $3.00 https://www.target.com/p/super-swim-noodle-1-pc-colors-may-vary-sun-squad-8482/-/A-77334568#lnk=sametab

When did you pick yours up. 1st batch of cars arrived around Jan 25th in the west coast. I did not pick mine up till Feb 11th and the dealer did mentioned that they did a 2+ hours software update before I picked it up but someone I know picked his up on Jan 25th from another dealer in the area...

Finally got some miles on the i4 and have a few more observations. Went for a morning drive to Santa Cruz. Traffic was heavier than I expected on south bound 17 at 7:30. (Hwy 17 between San Jose and Santa Cruz to day is basically a high speed mountain drives). Went to the wharf, said hi to the...
