https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234623554532 Here you go - 2 quid on eBay - these look just like the early photos which, IIRC, were on the Lotus website? I tried these on my Evora (which has nowhere for a phone apart from the glove box) - before the Emira was even launched - they fell off within a...

My iPhone 14 pro charges fine on a flat hard plastic Qi charger that's bigger than the back of the phone? Although if the Emira "slot" is deep enough then something like this could work (maybe with a bit of double-sided velcro)? https://uk.mous.co/products/matte-black-magsafe-compatible-charger

I'll just leave this here too :cool: : https://media.lotuscars.com/en/news-articles/lotus-reveals-pioneering-blueprint-for-next-generation-electric-sports-cars.html

The type 135 electric sports car is planned for Hethel production from "around 2026", alongside and then replacing the Emira.... This is worth a read too : https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1841024/000110465923008631/tm234838d9_425.htm

Here's another I found (UK/EU - no connection, recommendation, etc) : https://www.protectionfilms24.com/custom-sizes.html

A quick search (I remembered seeing some time ago) reveals this website (UK/EU) that will make to measure, various films or tempered glass, matt or gloss - no idea if they're any good and nothing to do with me etc. but they don't seem that expensive...

I'm fairly sure the Evora boot net would fit - all parts needed are listed here (but the "T" anchors are "unobtanium" from Lotus) : https://www.bellandcolvill.co.uk/deroure?qs=1&preview=1&make=1&model=20&groupid=12649 Or alternatively :

I've had email replies to 2 emails sent earlier in the week today (Sunday) too - plus points for working at the weekends, minus points for not answering all of the questions asked though - feels like boilerplate click and reply tools are being used now....

I’d try gently warming with a hair dryer to soften the glue then dental floss or light fishing line to release/lift it off (assuming that the pins are just to locate and aren’t screwed or bolted from behind)…..

There's some background to the service probably used here : https://stripe.com/docs/payments/bank-transfers?locale=en-GB https://stripe.com/docs/payments/sources/credit-transfers

At some time all parts should be available here - and there's a US/GB switch at the top of the page : https://parts.lotuscars.com/ (The Emira heading has been added but no parts as yet) This passes an order through your chosen dealer and works for older models already in the UK at least....

RBS One Account (formerly Virgin One Account) Probably an extreme case as it’s a “legacy product” but there’s a useful list here : https://www.wearepay.uk/what-we-do/payment-systems/faster-payment-system/transaction-limits/

My bank only allows £10k max in total per day using the faster payments system, regardless of number of transactions or payees. Hopefully they’ll wait 8 days after invoice or accept CHAPS by then or I’ll be driving to Hethel with a bankers draft…….. 🙄

Given that a lot of the information in the provenance pack is historic, e.g. how many cars were produced in the same specification per year, etc. I'm not sure of the value of purchasing it when the car is new - maybe better to wait a year or two? Probably for that reason Lotus now supply them...

None, based on the post above, I would imagine....

So was mine (UK also) but I asked CS a couple of days ago (as no proactive comms received since November when they were promised monthly) and was told it's now September build, October delivery - supposed to be UK i4 batch 1 - deposit was (Goodwood) Thursday 8th July 2021 as well...... :mad:

https://www.lotuscars.com/en-GB/roadside-assistance All details are at the link above ;)

Me too!

Just been advised (only because I asked again, the promised monthly updates since November haven't been happening, of course) that my "first batch" UK i4 is now September 2023 production, October 2023 delivery (Goodwood 2021 Thursday deposit)..... :mad:

I thought that was the original plan and that they were lining up a local firm for PPF applied at the factory too…. Fingers crossed for August (in many respects - perhaps they’ll even be doing PDI there by then too for factory collections)….

In conjunction with the cosmetic repair insurance at the same price again which allows for 18 SMART repairs over 36 months? Both of those together will be enough for me. Anyone prone to kerbing alloys (or maybe choosing diamond cut!) can add the wheel insurance at £229 (18 claims in 3 years...

Which would be utter madness…..

I’m not sure myself why manufacturers even bother installing inbuilt satnav these days, but before @TomE has to police more off-topicness, and given that I thought I’d anticipated most of the replies above in my first post, first sentence, I’ll rephrase the question - “Given that the Emira has...

https://colab.lynkco.com/topics/when-will-there-be-a-here-navigation-update - doesn’t look very promising…….

I'm still in for an i4 first-batch UK build (August) as originally chosen on deposit day (Goodwood Thursday 2021) but still disappointed by the lacking communications - perhaps the monthly updates promised on 14th November in the last, generic "delay" email will start "soon"......

We all know that the Emira comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, both of which will cater for a good choice of phone-based satnav options. However, there's nothing that I can find in any of the online manuals around updating the maps for the built-in satnav. Have any of you guys...

Alcantara seats always had leather side bolsters that extend to the sides of headrest too, although those in the pictures above look like the headrests are all leather now too? But having said that these are from the recent DV car currently for sale at a non-Lotus dealership.... DV car

Thanks for the update - so that others can gauge likely impact, when did you place your original deposit and what spec did you choose please (and is it an auto gearbox)? Upside - you'll probably get a 23 plate as opposed to a 72 now.....

Doesn't make the 3-year service plan look all that attractive at £1409 inc VAT Vs £1540 inc VAT as above, apart from a slight hedge against any future service price rises, I suppose.......

Or red, with red stitch Alcantara 😉

Unlike Evora and Elise/Exige, it looks like they could be removable on Emira to me, which would make sense given the service difficulties with earlier cars where there were wiring or pipework issues, but we can't be sure at this stage that they're not glued (unless anyone else on here knows for...
