Interior dash and shifter lighting

[Davebeats]

Does anyone know what "Welcome home lighting" is?

Isn’t that where it leaves the front headlights on after switching the car off for a period of time.

I believe that the exterior lighting on the car, including headlights, stay on for a short period of time after the vehicle is parked and powered off to presumably give you some illumination as you walk away from the vehicle.

Thanks - good pick up!

I suspect that might include the overhead light, footwell lights and door storage/pull lighting. Just not sure whether the dash will have any.

The official interior shots released at the reveal shows the lighting in the cup holders, door pull and footwell plus underlighting on the i4 shifter, so I suspect there will be some sort of lighting on the V6 manual shifter.

If not, there's a USB port just ahead of the meshed part, so you can plug in your own lighting: spot, twinkly, flashing, neon, coloured, fairy etc etc

I hope they made those safety nets around the gear linkage easily removable.

Should be. I discussed with them at Goodwood, while it was still unclear if the mesh would be a regulatory requirement, and they were looking at a solution that could be fitted for some countries and left off for others or be a customer-specified option.

@TomE they are “twin cup holders” please. Don’t you forget it!

Glorious and double cup capable.

Sorry boss, my mistake. I will write it out a hundred times. I'm still getting use to this concept of a cupholder in a Lotus, let alone two.

I've literally no idea what I will use them for, as there is no way I'm carrying containers of fluid to slosh about in the middle of the interior

Suggestions welcome on alternatives, in addition to my Bollinger upgrade option posted earlier.

Maybe a candle or two to keep the interior smelling nice?

Same issue here. Even while well lit.
Coffee + ice leather = dumb decision.

Possibly 2 YETIs each filled halfway.
OR
One YETI and the key fob in the other.

doesn't have to be a liquid. perhaps a stack of cookies?

Oreos plus ice leather, what can go wrong

I have an idea for the guys who order the I4 automatic...

I find them useful for two things.
1. WeatherTek cup holder for my phone.
2. In my other cars I find they hold the pill-shaped zippered case for Oakley sunglasses really well.

Those are a couple of suggestions.

Maybe a Kirobo Mini. More Toyota technology so would fit right in!
