I use a CTEK CS Free, battery extender. Its a lithium ion battery that connects to the car battery (essentially a second battery) It extends the life the Emira battery about 2-3 weeks when parked and not used. It can also be charged by the car when you are driving. Its about $225. Size is about...

I have the V6 manual. I made a magsafe charger, similar to this. I simply punched a 67mm hole through the rubber storage tray under the AC controls, so the magsafe charger sticks up from under the rubber, then ran the cable through the provided hole to the USB port below the center console.

This is an update. Since posting, I have driven the car and repeatedly turned the AC on and off and it began working. I read in the owners manual that it recommends running the AC at least once per week. I have been doing this and the AC has been working fine ever since.

I live in San Francisco, never hot. Today we took a road trip south...NO A/C !!!! Turned all the way to LOW and fan speed to HIGH. All we got was tepid air. Tried to change from fresh to recirc, made no difference.

it has not occurred since they fixed the loose pin.

Mine also does it but I assumed it was because I put PPF on my windshield. I have always had the PPF so I have nothing to compare it to.

Just yesterday, while on a road trip, the fuel gauge bar graph stopped moving and my mileage left in tank started increasing??? I tried stopping and turning off the car and restarting, but that didn't clear it. Not knowing how much fuel was in the tank, I filled up. The rest of my trip the fuel...

I agree with cooments that 3 inch may be too large, but i like your design. if you made them smaller and offered them for sale, i would buy 2.

I had a yellow triangle showing. The dealer said it referred to a heat sensor and was caused by a loose pin in the sensor connector. they fixed it, No parts were required.

I took my Emira in for its 1 year service today (3850 miles). It also had the yellow warning triangle showing for about 2 weeks so I had them check that also. The code - DCT P0096, indicated the intake air sensor was malfunctioning. I hadn't noticed any performance issues. They examined the...

on Amazon you can buy a Tesla key fob attachment. it consists of thin cord that attaches to Lotus key and a ring on the other end. I use it and so far so good.

GRP makes a USA license plate mount that attaches under the front spoiler so that you dont have to drill holes in the bodywork.

this isn't accurate. My Emira came with the trickle charger, but it wasn't wired to the battery. The new owner has to do that on their own.

UPDATE!!! I just spoke to Dave Simkin, the Lotus USA service advisor. He told me he would look into why the water is leaking. He said Lotus NEVER advised my dealer not to perform the work to correct this problem. My dealer lied to me about Lotus refusing to perform the work. My dealer never...
