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 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...
