There are still several new on Dealer lots that you should be able to lease, even out of state.

Mine came off as well. It’s down there and I had to stand in the boot and reach down to grab it. It gets wedged in there pretty good. Make sure to latch it tight when you put it back in. The plastic tab is stiff and you really have to force it to click

Just exploring the back roads.

I had this issue twice in the same day. I unlocked and opened both doors and the boot and shut them solidly. Cleared up and never returned.

I’d let the dealer address the issue; it shouldn’t leak or whistle at speed.

I don’t see valet as an option

I would think the wheels and tires would be OK but never the car body.

Does anyone have the link to the infotainment manual? The owners manual refers to it as a separate document but I can’t find it and Lotus USA was no help when I reached out

I second the strangeness of the varied experiences. While I do notice the accelerator pedal is in a slightly off position the seats themselves seem downright comfortable. Ive done 5+ hr drives with ZERO issue. My wife loves the passenger seat as well. Much better than our Land Rover. For...

Is there any issue with keeping the car in track mode all the time? Of all the modes I do feel track has the best sound. The higher revs really make it sound better

Goodyear site says 45,000 miles

Don’t the tires have a mileage warranty?

I still think the Emira could be a hybrid with the AMG engine; similar to the BMW i8. That MF would scream.

You mean like many cars already do? 😀

I get it. The purchase experience isn’t really about the Lotus ownership as it is with other exotic brands. If you read the Lotus Talk posts from the Elise release and the Evora release you will see the same gripes. Those all disappear once you have your car. Driving is the Lotus experience. I...

The consensus seems reasonable. Thanks

Anyone having an issue with rubbing the side when getting into the car? I find that no matter how I try to enter I keep rubbing the side middle of the seat and fear it will wear rather quickly. If the seat would move back when you power off like many modern vehicles this probably wouldn’t be an...

Holy 💩, that worked!!!

You have trouble with the clock not being correct each time you restart? Mine always changes by 1 or 2 hours every time I get in.

It wasn’t long until I realized that the total car volume was set at 50% from factory. Not the volume you change when music is playing but the system volume you change in vehicle settings. Makes a huge difference, especially when it comes to taking a phone call.

I tried to heat cycle my loud as f*ck brakes. They creak more than I do when I get up in the morning.

Am I the only one that has the ghost on the passenger side?

One thing that does give me pause is the fact that just because here in the USA we have “protections” and the dealer has to prove the modifications caused the warranty failure doesn’t mean you won’t have to fight. Just look at the recent “your tires aren’t rated for 85mph so your engine isn’t...

This was asked before but I can’t find the resolution: My subwoofer “pops” when I get into the car sometimes. What’s the issue and how do I correct?

Mine has it, I guess. It just beeps when you are close to something

I can tell you what I didn’t get….. instructions for the Home Link. I had to fiddle with it for like 10 mins before it programmed.

Picked mine up from Earth MotorCars yesterday. Got a whole week of rain ahead of me, yea. Car is absolutely filthy but can’t wash it because of the fresh PPF…. Looking forward to some club meet ups….if I can find one reasonably close. I’m in East Texas. Any suggestions?

Well picked up the car today. HY Black pack Silver calipers Ice interior red TDS marker V6 Auto PPF and 25% window tint on sides The car made it almost 2 hours before the Apple car play froze….. was able to fix by selecting the settings using the steering wheel and just sort of messing about...

Picked up my car today; raining the whole way home. 140 miles so needless to say the car is filthy. The dealer said not to wash for 3 or 4 days so do I just leave the road grime on there?

Well, since we’re doing this: Deposit placed 11/2022 Confirmed build 5/30/24 VIN 9/19/24 Port arrival 10/12/2024 Arrived at dealer 10/22/2024 PDI, PPF, window tint etc… Ready for pickup 11/1/2024

Do you have a front plate? My Land Rover did that all the time until I removed the plate; wasn’t even near the sensor but can’t be a coincidence.

Not for the USA unfortunately

Oh no, a buyback?!

Seems odd they don’t sell given the demand. People are currently in line for a base model but can pick one of these up. I guess everyone wants their own special one since it’s a current offering.

FWIW. My car arrived in Baltimore on 10/12 and was loaded on a truck today 10/22. Dealer states it takes two days to transport, 2 days to PDI, and 2 days to PPF if I want. Speaking of, is PPF with ceramic coating on top worth the cost?

Depends on how much you want to be custom. If you don’t mind leather vs alcantara, one caliper color over another, V6 vs i4 then just wait and pick up a yr old used one. Otherwise, yea 14 months may be pushing it….. but not by much. 18-20 seems reasonable.
