That’s interesting. Talking to a couple dealers they are saying all i4 FE will be 2024. Regardless of when they are made. It appears to me that they are trying to keep all FE whether v6 or v4 to 2024. This is the message I’m getting. Not sure though if this is the case.

It matters due to resale down the road as I don’t plan on keeping it forever. And I keep an incredibly small sliver of hope that the MY 2025 will have some improvements that are missing like satellite radio and blind spot monitor etc. things that cars a third of the price have. Plus frankly it...

Awesome. Did your dealer say if it will be a 2024 or 2025?

Out of curiosity are there any issues/problems specific to the i4 not seen on the V6 version?

LOL thx! Yeah but my patience is not indefinite. If the MY 2025 i4's are going to be pushed out after the base V6, I'm probably going to go a different car. Seems like the FE are only going to be MY 2024, and the base i4 will come out likely after base v6 so it may be another year...who...

That is the sense I’m getting is that the FE is tied to the model your 2024 no matter when it’s produced. So I wonder if they don’t sell all the first editions in 2024 are they going to continue to produce the first edition in year 2025 and still call it a 2024 model.? That would be odd. I...

No one knows unfortunately

I'm working on my i4 order (switched from v6). Was given similar timelines. But holding out for MY 2025. Did your dealer say when the switch would happen?

btw are there any external/internal differences between the i4 and v6? Ie visual differences? Or is it literally just the engine and trans that are different?

my dealer gave me the same timeline. Most cars at this point with other brands are pushing out 2025 cars. From what I've seen over the years cars produced after June/July ish time frame turn into the next MY. Not always true but a trend. My dealer wasnt sure which it would be. This is...

I get that but will it be a MY 2024 or 2025? For the i4 you just ordered? My dealer wasnt sure which it would be.

Did your dealer say if it would be a 2025? He also told me production would be September with December delivery. It would be great to hear from anyone that has driven the 400 hp i4. And the v6. Been googling for videos of it and found nothing yet.

So my dealer also verified the 400 hp for i4. Are there any videos comparing this version of the emira to the v6? Or even a video of the 400 hp i4 by itself? I can order one but no i4 anywhere to test drive so it would be a blind order. Also anyone know if an order put in now would be a 2024...

are folks considering buying the extended warranty considering all of the ongoing issues people are posting? It's hard to gauge how common these issues are but between Facebook and this forum there seem to be a lot of recurrent issues. I was hoping much of this would have been resolved since...

So who covers a repair like this were the paint to flake off when putting on ppf? Also since the paint bubbling thing still seems to be happening will lotus cover that repair if you put a ppf on it and pay for the ppf as well as the ppf would need to be removed?

kinda what i figured, but in case down the road, you need to show proof of maintenance, i wonder if doing that, showing you bought a Toyota filter and not the lotus marked one would make any difference. I would assume not...just wondering.

to keep things under warranty down the road, are folks buying oil change items (ie oil filter, etc) from dealer or getting parts from toyota or local auto store etc?

I was looking for the 2025 718 changes. Not finding much online except talk of an EV version. Is there a site that shows the changes etc?

I would agree as well. Issue is finding an Indy mechanic where I live. I still have plenty of time. I’d much rather have someone that’s worked on it if possible. Just looking at all possibilities

Interesting. I’ll need to check out that video. I actually called my local dealer thinking it would be a long shot. They said yes. No problem. Evidently they also service non Toyotas as well. Given the engine being shared they feel comfortable doing it. $79.95 oil change LOL. Anyhow just...

Without getting roasted too much, would it be beyond dumb to take it to a Toyota dealership for routine maintenance like the oil change?

If you have a ppf and the paint blisters, does lotus pay to have the ppf redone? And is the remedy for the blistering a replacement for the entire panel that’s blistering? If the panel is replaced are there issues with color matching? Hopefully this is something that shows up before warranty...

where did you get it done? what film is that...xpel/stek?

looks great! Any chance you can add your info to the SoCal PPF spreadsheet with all the info? Its in @GrahamClark_60-68 sig. I'm going with STEk so I am very interested for sure!

Thx! btw I'm curious. In your post, it says he's ceramic coating in and out etc. STEK already has a hydrophobic coating so ceramic coating wouldn't be useful. Also is he coating the inside of the car as well? I suspect it will cost less if one takes out the ceramic coating except for the...

So turning on AC vibrates car? In what world is that normal? I have literally never felt that in any vehicle. Any other “normal” things the car has that most cars don’t? LOL! The car is absolutely beautiful but some of these issues people are pointing out are concerning. I must seriously...

As someone that will DD mine when it arrives, the amount of issues being reported on cars arriving in the US is surprising and concerning. One would think the kinks would be worked out by now. I’m sure it’s still a minority of the cars out there but there are so many common themes. For us that...

i wonder if the rev limit will change if a S or R variant comes out? sure hope so!

Nice! Can you add this info with costs to the spreadsheet? I plan on using STEK again for my film. Btw, are most people just driving it to the shop to get it done or towing it to avoid getting paint damage?

There was another forum member in here that also installed PPF. He had pricing for us as well. Cant recall his name. I dont think its on that sheet.. Let me see if I can find the thread.

thx! This is great!

is there also a running sheet with costs for these various places?

anyone heard if there will be any changes for 2025?

My last 2 cars didn’t have any paint correction done before ppf and it looked great. I suppose it all depends on how good or bad the paint looks upon delivery. I’m very interested to hear how magic wrapz turns out as most other places will be double that. Also how much Elite clear and PFS are...

Consolidating the info will be great. I haven't used XPEL in a while but I would never use it again compared to STEK, which has a hydrophobic layer already built in so ceramic coating it would be a waste, IMHO. I just plan on CC my wheels and calipers. Hopefully as more Emira's get delivered...

this is just odd to me not not have it. along with the ADAS issue

agreed. I don't understand the outcry by some for just stating our opinions. I found on my drive of the car that was underpowered...period. And the stats don't lie. Especially once you look at the competition. Car needs more low end power. The get up and go is not as good as it should be...

I put my deposit with Zach as well. That would be great if you can report back costs on ppf, ceramic wheels calipers, maintenance and warranty packages. Etc. or even what finance rates he’s offering. Congrats btw!!!

looks like the same specs as the one I'm getting eventually. Nice!!!
