One of my only pestering complaints of my Emira was the brake pads. Insanely dirty and the worst pads I've ever encountered when trying to do a smooth stop. I finally pulled the trigger and swapped the stock pads for the Hawks about two weeks ago. INSANE! The pedal feel is night and day...

For any of the Boiseans on this group, Toybox on State St. is doing a car show on July 19th. I'll have my Emira there and if anyone else wants to register it would be cool to meet you. And everyone is welcome, whether you have a car to display or not. Hope to see all my fellow Idahoans there...

I've had my Emira Turbo since February and I heard there was an update in March that improved the DCT. My closest dealer is about five hours and I would prefer not to transport/drive it that far just for an update, anyone know if there is a traveling tech, or a way to apply updates by the owner?

I just clicked over 1k miles so doing my first change and planning Mobil as I've always viewed it as a higher quality oil. Here is the one I'm planning as it meets the MB standard (seems fitting for an MB engine), but love other's thoughts. And a recommended filter...

I want to install a rear camera on the inside of the rear glass. Anyone know an easy way to access the engine compartment from the cabin? I just need an 1/8" hole.

I literally bought seven dash cams until I found the one I wanted. I selected the Anyski 4K and am very happy. Couple reasons I selected this one: -I didn't want a video screen as I see that as a distraction (this one goes black after a user-selected time) -I wanted a very slim version so I...

I am wanting to install a rearview camera on the inside of the rear window. Does anyone know an easy way to get from the cabin to the engine compartment for an 1/8" diameter camera wire?

I am pretty mechanically inclined, but cannot figure out how to remove the footwell fuse cover. I've removed the four 1/w4-turn anchors, but cannot figure out how to remove the panel. I've tried pulling the carpet back, lifting, twisting, and on joy. Can anyone share how the heck you get...

I have an odd parking brake issue that is supposedly resolved with an update that came out mid-February. I got my car mid-February so wondering if I have it. Anyone know how to check my versions and find out what the current production versions are?

Both my seat belts seem as if they were installed 180 degrees out (the strap, not the buckle). When buckling I have to twist it. I was going to pull the lower seat cover off and rotate them 180 degrees, but wondering if this was some weird intentional thing by Lotus. Are others mounted the...

I already got the seat side trim strip installed (visible in the photo, link below photo for those that still need it), thank you for the tip! Next item on my list is how to protect the carpet over the threshold. On McLaren they cover it in carbon fiber, so playing with different options. I...

I just got my i4 and was not given a paper owner's manual, nor advised by my dealer about the proper break-in procedure. I did some digging on Lotus' site and found this in the owner's manual so wanted to share here. The CYA they included about 'downloading engine data' seems a bit odd. Also...

With the weather in the northwest not seeming to end, I ended up having my Emira delivered to Boise...then the snow came! I was fortunate enough to see it yesterday for about 15 minutes between meetings, but then it snowed today, is supposed to snow tomorrow, then again over the weekend. I...

I was going to pick up my i4 today in Seattle and drive it home to Boise, but forecast in Seattle was heavy rain, then snow between Seattle and Boise so figured I should delay it. New date for pickup is February 8th. My sales guy sent me some photos of her to hold me over...I think that just...

My Emira is at the dealer and I am going to pick it up on the 7th. Can people share where they got insurance? I have Progressive for our current vehicles, but they don't list Lotus as a brand they insure. Love to hear who others have selected/use here in the USA.

I have pinged CARB multiple times, looks like it was finally approved on the 15th. We are getting close to deliveries!

I called my dealer on Monday asking if he had any news on my i4 that was finalized last October and of course....he has no updates. My order number is 040590. I've emailed Lotus via their contact form but no response. Love some input from those experts out there. Thanks!

For those that aren't aware of my situation, quick backstory: I paid a $5000 deposit in December 2022. Then in October 2023 I was advised that there were delivery slots available for a spring 2023 delivery of the i4. I agreed, completed the 'official' Lotus order form, and wired an additional...

There was no question I wanted an Emira when it was around $70k, but now at around $100k? I am in Boise, ID so no Lotus dealer nearby, which also gives me cold feet. However I was in China last week and they happened to have my exact spec, minus the tan interior. After sitting in it and...

Was in China for business and got a chance to go to the local Lotus dealer. Just so happened they had my order combo: Silver wheels, i4, Dark Verdant. Only thing missing was the beige interior. I actually just got my order confirmation this week. Couple pieces of feedback to share: -The...
