Started yesterday, was working fine before that. Now I have to manually release the parking brake everytime.

Yea the numbleness definitely comes from the different front rear weight ratio, the i4 rotates faster/better.

with your constant Hwy 9 runs, I would not be surprised.

weight different is 12Kg but the M139 does have more weight in front of the rear axle than the V6. The i4 does have shorter A Arms in the rear but there should be minimal impact on spring requirements.

Go drive it again I have had 3 other Emira owner drove the i4 and without me hinting at the different spring rate. They all thought it's more bouncy compared to the V6 tour. both the front and rear spring are different from V6. I don't have pictures of mine but a friend with a i4 sport have...

on the display or actual when you filled up? I've seen 36mpg on the display at 70. but not when you did a trip calculation when you fill up

Have you driven both side by side. I basically switch between my V6 and i4 every few days and although both touring. the stiffest is definitely different between the two.

There is no 6 months inventory at dealer. especially not V6 manual. There are a lot of V6 auto as who would want a V6 auto now that the i4 is also 400hp and have better performance? ( I won't be surprised if some of those V6 auto will still be on the lot a year from now). The only reason there...

I don't on the V6 either, I get 18-19 average on a good day but much less if I went for a drive in the mountains.

Finally broke 1K miles on the i4. Nice to see 280 miles left in the tank after 120 mile with half & half between tour and sport. That's how much it usually shows in the V6 after a fillup (well maybe a bit over 300 if I've been running in tour for a bit prior). Now that I can go pass 1/2 throttle...

Do you have a VIN yet? 2 more boats have arrived since the 3/17 one and another 200+ V6 base have arrived and got offloaded by 3/31

On the beach at Hwy 1, Lighting was perfect to bring out all the curves on the car.

I've had the USB port problem a couple times on the V6. It just fail to detect the USB drives in the center console, even if I did a reset of the OS but it usually works again on the next trip.

You can blame Geely for many things but they invested enough money at Hethel to transform Lotus from a Kit car shop to an actual modern day production plant.

Question is does arriving in port counts or does the goods on the boat have to clear custom?

I hate to turn this into a political battle but for everyone that said that tariff doesn't work and hurts our own economy. Wake up and go see the world. Almost every country does it to us. Go look at how much a Vette cost in the rest of the world or for that matter how much an Emira cost...

Car & Driver did an article on which manufacturer and which of their model will be impacted. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a64308066/list-of-how-tariffs-will-affect-every-car/

Just got this from my dealer: "Due to the new tariffs being imposed on April 2nd. The Emira will be materially impacted because of certain globally sourced parts. .While Lotus itself may not be on the affected manufacturer list. Key components of the Emira are. meaning no more Emira will be...

but not from Amazon, only 3rd part vendor so doesn't make any difference 😢

This look like masking tape/material leftover when the panel was repainted. Is this a used car or are you the original owner?

Don't have a 911 but have a 2024 718S that's now sitting in my office warehouse ever since I got the orphaned V6 last May. I do take it out for a weekend every other week just to keep things running but now that I got the i4, it may have to go.

you can probably find those on Aliexpress for around $100 https://www.aliexpress.us/w/wholesale-Lifepo4-12v-60AH.html?spm=a2g0o.home.history.6.259a76dbmmURDG

Most people do need another car that can fit more than 2. I have a 2021 RS5 for when I need to carry more than 2.

If they're mostly i4s then it's to be expected. 1st. Not all FE i4 allocation were taken by cutoff date (my dealer have like 15 left 2 weeks before cutoff) but I think Lotus built all of the unfilled allocation just so they can squeeze them all into MY2024. 2nd. A lot of dealer allowed i4...

My advise is don't expect the i4 to gain value over time at least not for the next 10 years. With the tariff and push back against EV. I expect to see the i4 in production well into the 2030s.

Short term. Nothing. I expect resale value in decline for the next few years at least. After 5 years. I would expect resale valve to bottom out and stay about the same for a few years then it may start going back up. All depends on how many V6 ends up being made. Emira is the first complete car...

Got new key Fob cover for the i4. I like and got the BanC cover but now with 3 car keys to carry (plus house and office keys). It's getting a bit much so I start looking for something that's more like the ones I have on the RS5 (which is like a second skin). Found one that come close so ordered...

Wait till it's broken in or you can take it in sport once in a while like I do. My dealer basically told me to keep it under 100, under half throttle and no track mode. Sport is a lot different and the the DCT will try to stay near 3K rpm most time which means you have like over 80% of peak...
