That's even more worrying. I'll have to look up an eletre forum and check out if others have experienced the same! Thanks for the information.

That's worrying - I hope Lotus UK has a different procedure to follow!

Update on my paint blistering. Took the car to the main dealers when I was picking up my Eletre. The salesman told me that the paint blistering is pretty much an issue on all first edition V6 models that they have seen back at the centre. The most common place to check for it is on the lip at...

Mine goes in for a service, to have the heater fan replaced and to sort blistering on a door on Thursday - wish me luck! I'm not going to take a courtesy car because I'm picking up a new Eletre on the same day, yes, I know, the dark side is calling me, but the tax benefits on an electric...

I'm sorry to say it doesn't Kitkat - my PPF'd emira now has blistering on the door, just under the drivers handle

Hi all I was in a Lotus dealer at the weekend (looking at an Eletre as a new company car) and the sales guy told me that Lotus stock of the V6 Emira is finally dwindling at dealers and if you are looking for a new one that's not in stock, they are quoting mid 26 delivery. They are focusing on...

He said you are very welcome and he is glad you have your phone back!

Great to meet you Shaun - yes it was a superb day! I think they had pretty much every possible combination of original First Edition Emiras somewhere in that car park! I hope your journey home was better than ours!

My son and I (alongside a number of other lotus drivers) were lucky enough to attend the British GT Championship at Donington Park in the UK today, courtesy of Lotus UK. There were two Emiras racing in the GT4 class for Mahiki Racing, including one being raced by my friend Ian Duggan alongside...

Rayleigh, Essex for me. Passed three Emiras on the A14 on Tuesday going the opposite direction. That's more in one hour than I've seen in the past year!

I have the app but I can't work out how to set a battery voltage alert - any help would be much appreciated. I have had two no start occurrences and would prefer to charge the battery on receiving an alert than go through the rigmarole of unlocking doors and releasing the boot lid!

Received mine today - great job @Bancho. I went for Alcantara and yellow stitching in the end and delighted I did.

It does look superb in these photos!

Hey forum, I was at Goodwood FOS yesterday and came across the CT Carbon stand. The full carbon fibre kit looks good ont he seneca blue emira they had on the stand. I'm wondering if the black fibre finish will look as good on my dark verdant emira, or will it just blend in with the dark colour...

Word is that it was a software glitch that sent all the power to one wheel. Not sure if it has been confirmed, but I hope not as that is a pretty dangerous glitch!

I was there - waiting patiently for it to come around the corner from the start straight and all we saw was smoke!! Not a great look for Lotus! On the other hand, the Emiras look superb heading up the hill climb!

Excellent, I am in Rayleigh, so not too far away. Let me know when everyone is meeting up and if okay I'd be delighted to come along. It would be good to hear more about your trip!

Hi @EM12A LS - thanks for sharing the trip. It sounds like an excellent time was had by all. Where in Essex are you located, and do yo know of any local car meets that are worth attending?

Excellent, I'll give it a go!

Drying your car with a leaf blower? Genius idea, I will have to give it a try!

Absolutely love these and just about to order a couple. A quick question for the community, do the alcantara ones suffer as a result of greasy / sweaty hands or do they keep the new look. I'd prefer them but think the leather might be more practical (just like my steering wheel unfortunately!)

Brilliant, thanks Jim - I'll try that out.

Hi JimH - can you explain how the app replaces your tracker fob. This is a game changer because I don't want to attach the fob to the keys, but means you are at risk of misplacing it. Using the phone app (which I installed when I collected the car) would make a massive difference. Is there a...

I've had a few issues with hill start. It works every time it is supposed to, but a number of times when the car was new it has not released when I'm pulling off with the clutch. Needed to give a lot of throttle and then it releases with a brake screech and a bit of a bang. Not great when there...

Hi Speedy, yes that was my concern! I am based in Essex, how about you?

I decided to have the whole car wrapped and got a pretty good price for it. I want to be able to enjoy the car without fear of debris, contaminants or indeed idiots damaging it! The PPF is invisible to the untrained eye and with a ceramic coating really enhances the shine off the car.

I agree, many people think the car is black until the sun shines on it and then the beautiful green hues are clear to see. Unfortunately, at this time of year in the UK we don't see too much sun! :)

Thanks - I hope you are enjoying it as much as I am enjoying mine!

Hello everyone. I've been the owner of a dark verdant V6 manual Emira since October, but only just joined the forum. The car looks superb and turns heads more than any other car I've owned. This is my weekend car and I have a Porsche Taycan as my everyday car. Both are superb cars and its...

Hi all I have a Dark Verdant V6 and I had it wrapped and ceramic coated on delivery. It looks superb and is incredibly easy to look after. There is a link below to an instagram video of the car being wrapped for those of you who would like to see how it is done. Very pleased with the job they...
