I hope so, but would not be surprised if they aren't.

Talked to the dealer today. Parts are in stock and should take 5-7 days to get fixed. He said they ordered they HVAC fan resistor and some cover piece to prevent water intrusion. He thinks my car should be ready to go by end of next week. They are also still doing diagnostics on why I get a Evap...

He said the one car they fixed ahead of mine too two weeks. I dropped off Saturday and told them I needed it back by the 17th. We'll see.

My dealer is Flow Lotus in Winston Salem, but I recommend you call Cape Fear Lotus in Wilmington as they have dealt with this issue many times more than Flow has (which is once).

I just dropped mine off at the dealer yesterday and he showed me pictures of what they were going to do and what parts added, but the pictures were not good and I couldn't really tell. Once I pick it up I will provide more detail, but basically they add a couple parts to shield/divert water...

That is what I am going to do once my car is fixed in May. My dealer said Lotus is aware of the issue and will be doing a permanent fix which should then be a recall/service item issued to all owners. I told him I wasn't waiting on that from Lotus cause who knows when (or if) that will ever be...

I have no faith Lotus will fix this correctly on my car. When the do replace the part, I will change how I wash the car. I don't drive it in the rain. I will do the windshield with glass cleaner and wedge towels below the windshield wiper just in case any cleaner/water get there, but I plan to...

Well, have to drop mine off for the fan issue. Could be two weeks at least for a replacement resistor....sigh.

Interesting. I am based in Raleigh/Cary as well. What has the dealer said about the CELs? Did you get the car from Cape Fear or Flow in Winston Salem? Here are my issues: Warning light for SOS battery. Will put on a trickler to see if resolved per dealer. Cell for Evaporation Control. Dealer...

Man, that is scary to happen on a new car.

Good luck!

My CEL is now a new code. P0446 which is exhaust evap leak. Car runs fine, just could not pass emissions inspection. I have to take it to the dealer to get fixed. Not in a hurry but still frustrating. A P0446 error code indicates an evaporative emission control system (EVAP) vent control...

Now I am getting this code. It is emissions related. Drives/runs fine, just would not pass inspection. Dealer says they have seen it before. It is either a software glitch or a leak in the Evap system. Frustrating as the dealer is a couple hours away. Will take it in in June to get fixed and get...

I must have jinxed it, cause the check engine light came on today. I will see if it is still there by Monday. If so, I will have Autozone read the code. Then if I have to disconnect the battery (which is a pain for the left terminal), I will. Frustrating though.

Yes, I wish there you could change tracks via steering wheel controls.

Honestly, I have no idea if the trickle charger will fix it, but we'll see.

My Emira had a Dynamics Control Module invalid data fault when I first got it. When I disconnected the battery for 30 minutes, it went away and has never come back (3 weeks). It currently shows an SOS battery fault that goes away after driving for about 20 minutes. Dealer told me to put the...

Well you know how it is...Lotus is not exactly the best at communication or info sharing!

Here's the paperwork (signature page forthcoming)

The dealer sent me the warranty paperwork. It is a "Lotus Guard Warranty" which provides ten years from date of PPF installation. Called Lotus Guard PPF in their documents. I forgot the actual product name under that. They (Lotus) are sending warranty paperwork for me to sign.

I think the pedals are a little close. I have size 9.5 feet and bought driving shoes which are great. The one problem I had was the Emira floor mat catching the heel of any boot or extended sole I wore on my left foot using the clutch. I literally cut about a three inch deep rectangle out of the...

I get the salesman aspect. i have bought and sold many performance cars. When I saw the price, I was sold on that alone cause you couldn't beat it if you went to a non dealer solution. They are sending me the paperwork on the PPF, and I will ask for clarity on the claimed warranty, but either...

Maybe not, just what the dealer was saying, and maybe he was talking in the context of the dealer, but he said Lotus. Something about the film they recommend and how it adheres to the paint Lotus uses.

That's a lot of money.

I had the dealer put it on the front, mirrors, and rear wheel well. Forgot the name but was told it is the only PPF warranted by Lotus. Once I have the product name and details, I will post. They flew someone in from Tennessee to do it (here at the N.C. Dealer). Cost was $2200.00. You literally...

Same place I got mine. Flow.

The floor mat always catches my heel when using clutch. Have velcroed the end down.

No way would I NOT PPF the car. I had mine done by the dealer with the warranteed PPF for $2700. That covered the front, the mirrors, and the rear wheel arch. It is a very low car. I think once you get some chips you will regret not doing it, but good luck.

Deal killer being you can row the gears in the Emira in many more situations than the Cayman

I looked at the Cayman GTS and GT4 as well. I had a '17 911 S and found it a little mundane. Excellent quality though. The problem with the six cylinder Caymans is the gearing. Too tall. When I went to get my Emira yesterday I talked to a guy at the dealer who had the GTS and he brought up the...

Well some good news and a crazy coincidence. On the second try the light went out and I went to auto zone any way for OBD. The guy at Autozone was a retired Lotus Tech! I mean, what are the odds of that? Anyway it was a secondary code of invalid data from vehicle dynamics control module, code...

Disconnecting battery didn't do it. Going to autozone to get it checked. Will have them check code if possible. Then back to dealer depending I guess....sigh.

They had a trickle charger on the battery at the dealer. It's without power now so if that does not clear it I can take it to autozone and have them test the battery. Trying everything before going back to dealer.

I have an ODB reader somewhere. Need to find it. Yes, Lotus would have to pay to get it trailered. Dealer is 90 miles away. So frustrated. Might try the power disconnect.

Just great. Did not reset after letting car sit for an hour. Dealer is 90 minutes away. Waited 2 years and 8 months and right back to the dealer : ( !!!!

It is Nano Fusion PPF. Just got back from the dealer. You see the edges on the rear view mirror and rear wheel well. Front and underside look great. I thought overall looked very good. Installer flew in from Tennessee to do mine and one other car. Sales rep said at another dealer they used Xpel...

Picking it up tomorrow. They did the Starshield PPF at the dealer. Said it is the only PPF warranteed for any paint issues after that fact.
