Could use some more bass, but I just turned the treble down a notch or two, and I'm with you.. Although, it does sort of need to be up to about half to sound "good". Low volume leaves me feeling like its lacking..

Was 1400m last week.. Just had first service to clear break-in oil - also found out she needs 5 software updates that will take two days, so thats fun..

Because the i4 just received CARB approval a month ago? just a guess..

I have noticed a "rattle" as well - sounded more like rain drops hitting a convertible soft top, to be specific. I went around the trim surrounding the rear window, pushing it in all the way around, and it went away. Then I took it in for service, traveling on a rough road, and on the way home I...

This a Lotus Engineering known issue - there has been communication with Lotus Engineering on this issue, they are "working on a fix" (as of 2/28/2025)

This is a sticker for the dealer, part of the PDI. Was on my car before I picked it up and the dealer pointed it out and explained. When you open you door do the windows drop a bit? If so, the dealer did it, but didn't remove the sticker.. If not, I would mention it, or review the manual and set...

Break-in miles done 4 days in - don't have a picture or video, but results consistent with @JackSlack

I noticed the same.. consistently on a 14 hour trip..

Wait - This is your second Yellow Emira, right? The last one was totaled, correct?

OK, I received a little bit of information on what some of these updates are, from a Lotus tech - not what they address, but what components they update. He said the IHU is something he has not heard of, and didn't have CPC off the top of his head. He heard of the DIM, and from memory thought is...

Agreed... I said the same thing the other evening, and had to take this picture..

Will do - I'll ask for specific details about what they address..

Just got back from the service, and found that there are 5 updates that need to be run - two of which are 3+ hours, so it will be a drop off at a later date. Service rep did run the VIN before I arrived, no updates listed. I was only when they plugged the car in that they got the list he...

Had the same idea after the first wash - works well, and easy to cut to fit the opening at the bottom of the rear window..

Jan 21st. in South Florida area.

Taking mine in tomorrow morning - Dealer said some updates are "posted" that he could look up using the VIN and others were only visible once connected to the car - found that statement interesting. Curious why that fact would be?

The floor mats in the picture from @Bimmernate are Witamats They even have a set that includes the Emira embroidering.

That is close to what I have heard at two different places - just a slight difference at $2700 and $500.

So, after delivery I made a very long drive (900+ miles), and along the way flinched 4 times when stones hit the windshield. Had it inspected professionally, there are small surface scratches but no cracks or threat thereof. Being particular I went searching for a solution to fill the scratches...

Been hearing a rattle from that area too - a quick push in all around the window (trim, roof) seemed to solve the issue. Was driving me nuts - sounded just like being in a convertible with a soft top and water dripping on it periodically..

Oooof, I have the same valve stem covers - were given as a gift too, worried taking them off will not go over well.. o_O

The Emira Turbo i4 engine cover.

Wanted to do the same thing with my 19yo, but timing didn't work out over Christmas break. Make sure to vary the RPM. As stated you want to keep an eye on the 4K mark, but I was advised the brake-in would be much better if the RPM was widely varied - and going over 4K for short bursts would be...

Loving my i4 - goes like the clappers. Welcome to the tribe.. (y)

Try this site - have heard good things.. https://colorndrive.com/en/touch-up-paint/lotus-emira

Could not agree more.. I have not seen another Emira on the road. I know I'm not the only one in my area - but I have not seen another. Moreover, I've only seen an Evora on the road twice - once in Atlanta, and once outside DC, and years apart..

Same here - when I read some articles around the design decision of those angular edges being based on the F-117 Stealth, my first thought was why would I be interested in a design from 1983 - in 2020 (when I was looking at the C8)?

@MikeG, Interesting that you are finding a pattern with cold weather. When I finally decided that the "dip" was not beneficial, and disabled the function, it was a decidedly cold day in Palm Beach. Probably 30+ deg. colder than normal, but I never gave that fact a thought..

Ran in to the same issue, but neither mirrors really returned to their original set position. More like they returned to a "factory set" position. It was weird. Honestly though, the "dip" was a little much for me, and I am able to more easily reverse without the "dip". So, I just turned the...

Mine was on the 12/15 boat. Picked up on Tuesday (1/21) - Lotus Palm Beach - been driving it like I stole it ever since. Have already topped the 1000m break in..

Oh, right I remember now - remember your posts with the Start switch cover.

Lotus Palm Beach

Picking mine up on Monday.

AllState was my client for a hot minute - they sold their headquarters to a warehouse builder, and have moved away from serving a couple of states for insurance. They don't seem to be doing well financially.

What did you end up using? the leather tape, vinyl, or something else?

Can't speak to their picking and choosing of areas for coverage of Lotus cars - I was going with Grundy, and on a whim I pulled a quote online with Progressive. I was shocked at the price, waited until Monday (1/13/25), gave them a call to confirm and they came in at the same price as Grundy...
