My iPad struggled but it worked on a desktop PC……

In the UK, yes…..!

Mine was there - I would suggest a chat with LCC at 10am tomorrow if you’ve had your invite to config email…..

i4 locked (again! I originally did this in April 2022) and loaded for August build - not interested in a new colour but they don’t show for me either……

I don't think their gold package includes anything but the ppf - i.e. no ceramic on top of ppf or glass/wheel treatment..... I'm surprised that they don't do headlights from bronze upwards given the price of said items - I'll probably just go ceramic all over and ppf on headlights with the Lotus...

I believe these guys do the factory ppf for Lotus : https://www.detailyoureyecandy.co.uk/ Not sure whether they have a facility set up on site at the factory or whether cars are taken to their local workshop though.....

Harry’s Garage update :

Agreed - first actual shot of an auto leather steering wheel with red stitch and TDC marker I’ve seen (even the configurator one is wrong/all black)!

It reminded me of Officer Crabtree…. (With apologies to anyone outside the UK to whom this will probably mean nothing) 🤣

One of the Emiras has an ADAS camera cutout in the windscreen surround......:sneaky:

0-100kph is 0-62.14mph - are you comparing "apples with apples" here? ;)

The original "headline" UK base price of "from" £59,995 was removed from the lotus website when the FE price increases were published - as far as I know no new UK base i4 price has been seen since.....

Sounds like someone may have heard that the M139 was designed in the "opposite" orientation to it's predecessor, and confused two (non?)issues...... There's nothing but perpetuating forum "comments around any ongoing heat issues in the i4 Emira that I've seen...

Posted today on The Lotus Forums…..Hopefully press cars and then dealer demonstrators….

In that case why not just be consistent in the latest email about the colours? 🙄 Looks like they’ve dropped it from the one place it may have been before now too…..

As Lotus have never labelled the base car "base", I'm assuming this means the V6 and i4 "non -FE" variants (in Lotus-speak) for 2024 production, as LCC are confirming that existing i4 FE build dates remain unchanged.....

At least the maps will be up to date - no information still seems to exist as to how to update the maps for the inbuilt navigation…..

There’s a hint here : https://media.lotuscars.com/en/news-articles/lotus-advanced-performance-new-bespoke-design-and-experiential-division-announced.html

No - just a price increase…….

It’s his registration plate……

The bank account details don't match/can't be matched using the usual method for online payments as the Stripe platform creates an individual pseudo-account number and (possibly) sort code for each Lotus customer so that they can automatically identify and reconcile incoming payments by...

End of this week/beginning of next are both Bank Holidays too......

“Lifestyle” vehicles = Wuhan factory Sports cars = Hethel Hethel will transition to the type 135 all-electric sports car over time, possibly built side-by-side with Emira for some time…..

USA i4's probably not likely until Q1 2024 earliest, given V6 FE delays, but UK, Europe and Asia currently planned to start production in Q2 2023 (probably press cars and demonstrators, i.e. very soon!) and ramping up customer deliveries from Q3 2023

The (very similar) Lynk & Co 01 system wasn't capable of OTA updates when launched either, but it is now..... 🤞 https://colab.lynkco.com/topics/system-updates https://www.lynkco.com/en/ota-updates

https://www.lotuscars.com/en-GB/roadside-assistance as included in warranty (UK - other territories may differ).....

There doesn't appear to be one on the M139 engine as used in the Mercedes A45S.......

LCS told me last week that press i4’s could be out next month…… [edit - not an April Fools Day joke - an actual comment!]

Much more of a faff going Kings Cross, Cambridge, Wymondham, taxi (which will likely come from Norwich in any case - not many taxis based in Wymondham) than fast train Liverpool Street to Norwich and taxi…….

Hethel is around 10 miles from Norwich Railway Station, but Uber is a bit thin on the ground/non-existent here! I would recommend ABC Taxis (I use them regularly) : https://www.abctaxisnorwich.co.uk/ Let them know which train you're on out of London and they usually keep an eye on it in case of...

Composite doesn’t dent - it either bounces or cracks……

Apologies for absence - I'll be in Germany that weekend.....
