When I did my first change it was $350, but they told me the next time it would be over $400.

Agree with @Lotus64 on all points, and will add.. Have have no issues with paint bubbling (coming up on a year, 3500mi, been through winter driving and summer) but is garaged. Don't drive on wet days, and dry immediately after washing - leaving the doors open to ensure any and all water drains...

This is what I was trying to noodle this out too.. I'm glad you researched it again, because I have yet to get into it due to a lot of traveling.. Let me know what you come up with on the subwoofer, I have that on my list too (and I think I have it mapped out :))

Agreed - one of the last 7 updates cleared up the gear selection timing issue; huge difference.. I will also add that I have since noticed the "lurching" at low speeds moving from the break to the gas, and that is new after those 7 updates - I would appreciate a fix for that..

Just made me need to check mine even more - mine was a Sept. '24 build too..

Looks almost like the rubber was weathered/dry-rot. Doesn't look like its ripped, it looks more like cracking. Even some of the surface where there are no holes looks dried out and scratched.. Saw an older post where someone had taken steps to wrap the wire loom connection to double protect...

Did your car finally sell? (I've been traveling for 3 weeks)

Well, of course it is... 🤦‍♂️

You are correct..👍 I'm not saying its the reason, but I had just settled in after a long flight back home after a week in Vegas.. plus there we so many delays with so many crap reasons that they started to run together over the course of the 1000+ day wait..

Agreed, I love seeing some other drivers and their neck breaking head swivels, but seeing kids with their mouths hanging open are the best.. One time, I came out of a store and a Mustang came flying up and let me know that some other car had just come in and taken a load of pictures of my...

And it doesn't activate the airbag/seatbelt detection? Mine is so sensitive I can't even put my phone on the seat without the incessant dinging of the seatbelt reminder, drives me batty..:mad:

These points exactly were broadcast by Lotus, and then published on this forum right after I picked up my i4 in late January. Mine came in right under the 12/19/24 wire - many were delayed due to the shipping accident/bridge collapse in Baltimore (0 deliveries between 12/19 and 3/17). If memory...

Thanks, think we are going out tomorrow - Alabama plays today, so... Did you register, or are you just cruising out to look? The online registration is closed..

I am really impressed by this approach - it has a elegant appearance, and with different colors, layering to produce an outline, adding a circle around the logo, etc. etc. there are many options to make it your own..

Interesting that three out for the 4 listed stated (in one way or another) "SW update will not affect current vehicle functionality." With these lines, the "will allow for future SW updates of the XXXX using EmiraDS.", are we to read this as the components were not updatable previously...

Thanks, that helps - Now I need to make sure they were applied when I took my car in early August..

Wait, I'm confused - are the 25010 and 25011 updates already out, or are they part of the Galpin tech release information? I just had mine in for 7 updates, I'll have to look at the paperwork for the particulars, but I really don't want to have to drive allll the way back to the service center...

Really great discussion! He was making all the points I have made to people with questions. 100% agree with his "planted on off ramps (turns)". I have looked multiple times and was shocked at how fast I took a turn - wasn't even trying to take them fast, it just felt natural..

For me text wasn't the only form of communication, just the most effective for a rapid response. Sorry if that was not clear, although I agree it seems very difficult to get them on the phone..

Yes, but only one..

I agree, with both points - been there for service, and warranty work. On my second visit Anton came in on his day off to ensure I had an explanation of all the updates as well as to ensure all the paperwork was straight. The biggest issue I had with the second visit was the scheduling of the...

I have been searching, unsuccessfully, for the service manual pages on the deconstruction of the center console of the i4 variant. Specifically the area just under the shifter. I am trying to install a custom made part, and need to ascertain the best way to route some wiring with as little...

I think Lotus switched over to the post stye not long after they started delivering to the US - I have seen some that have the screw type, but most have the post type. I agree with @jetblast - I have the diamond pattern w/ the post, and it is not noticeable at all. I wonder if the Modern Line...

My i4 has be 100% trouble free, even before the most recently applied 7 updates. Only thing I have found that Lotus Engineering is still trying to sort is the "Rear Indicator Fault" light comes on (very, very rarely), and it does not affect indicator function. To make it go away - just turn the...

:ROFLMAO: - someone has NEVER driven a Jeep Wrangler. I know, its not a fair comparison, buuuut... I daily a Wrangler, and after driving the Emira for a while (sometimes a couple of days at a time) and then switching back you will really understand what "jittery" and "exaggerated" steering feels...

With you on this idea - would be nice to wire up to be more "OEM". Looks like this is on the stock sub (from the picture), so I wonder if the connection, being post stock amp, would have an issue with a powered sub and cause issues. Thinking, head unit-->stock sub-->powered amp sub--> speaker...

They are the same - JQ Werks (MadTrace). I think Aerie just offers both Normal and Extended lengths, where as GRP just has the Normal length.

Finally found some time to drop my i4 Emira off for the updates - took two days, and I was told 7 total updates (yellow). Also found out that Lotus engineering is STILL trying to resolve the false indictor fault issue. I was given the same update in March '25, so 4 months later still no...

My insurance policy explicitly calls that out, it was one of the questions I was asked when they put the quote together - "You are NOT going to use the vehicle to provide ride share services, like Uber, Lyft etc., right?" :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

⬆️⬆️ I took care of that very easily with the green wire snip - 10min. job, mostly because I added bullet connectors to reattach if I wanted. Sounds much better..

I have the AMG i4, love the way it drives and sounds great - although not the throatier sound of the v6. Think I saw @DerTheDer still has his v6M for sale - very low miles, and in Virginia.. https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/2024-emira-fe-nimbus-gray-105k.6435/

Welcome!

I popped them out from the bottom as well.. Just a tip pry/pull from the front side of the door (hinge side), the wire connects on the rear side of the door. Another tip, if you want to do the footwell lights too (they are the same part), you can curl your hand up behind the plastic and push...

I was told at the first service that I had 4 available, and it was on the service receipt. Since that time I have seen another update published, and confirmed with Lotus dealer.

My son is 6'5" he has no issues fitting comfortably. Have been loving the i4. Great for road trips, and spirited driving, especially the mpg. I do need to get 5 software updates applied, but I have had no problems.

Yes..
