Limited Telematics

My car had the OEM battery and never had this issue. Replaced the battery with an antigravity and still no issue. Then a few months later the notification started to come up randomly (I used the car the same amount 1x a week). Got the latest update from my dealer and haven’t seen the issue since.
 
I started getting that warning following it's first service, and 'updates', it would happen very randomly.
Turned out, one of the modules (I believe it's the one that controls the dash and screens) takes over 3 hours to update via the Lotus portal.

It seems that when mine was in getting updated, they likely ran out of time (I had agreed a specific time to collect my car) and someone decided not to bother doing that bothersome, long update, but had already updates all the other modules in the car.
This mismatch of software/firmware between the various modules was responsible for the random telematics messages appearing.

Once everything was updated and matching throughout the car, everything was fine, never seen it since.

That’s interesting as mine has only started doing it after `I changed the battery!

I'm now wondering if this combination was the case for me too... mine went in for service and updates in May, so you'd expect the fix to be present, but maybe it wasn't due to time. I started seeing this message a day or so after I swapped in a lithium battery (several weeks later).

Will add it to the list of things to have looked at when it goes in for door replacement soon.
