So awesome...really looking forward to rapid development now! pops, bangs, burbles, cat related CEL now a thing of the past - hope we can do adjustable maps somehow like other platforms

@675430VME do you have more information gerading this news?

This is exciting news, hope more mods come out for the i4 so prices will drop.

This is going to be awesome but I think for now it’s only available as a bench flash which means sending your ecu to China so without a drivable car for a bit. Now in the US and their hostility towards imports, who knows if US customs would hold it up even longer when receiving it back lol

Wonder if Lotus will actually sell new ECUs to customers, then we could do a straight swap.

They do, but they are locked, so what for?

We could just purchase an 'second ECU' and send that one out to be modified vs having a useless car until the ECU has returned.

You can buy an ECU from a salvage auction or eBay - but I think it needs to be cloned to yours to work (I guess this requires unlocking) - so (I think) you'd still need to send your original ECU with the duplicate to China... I guess the advantage here is you'd have your original (untuned) ECU to swap back if needs be
