I looked for something similar, but didn't find anything. Now I'm thinking about plug the cam to a powerbank if needed. It tested it and a 10.000 mAh Powerbank lasted for roughly 21 hours on my cam. I chose the Vantrue N2S.

Sounds like a plan! Besides pictures, maybe somebody could also measure the distance between the two seat fixing screws on the front of the rails. That would be great.

Another "mod" I'm currently thinking about is fitting a fire extinguisher :D sounds funny, but first I think it looks very cool in the passenger footwell and second it might get useful at some point. Not only because the Emira might catch fire, but for example also if you come to a crash site...

I'm really impressed with what you can fit in there. I found this about our beloved Companion and I'd say it can't fit as much as the Lotus. Cayman takes two in the front than it's full, so obviously the cabin storage of the Emira is bigger than the Caymans frunk. Both can take one in the trunk...

Obviously it is 🤷🏻‍♂️ you can fit three carry-ons and quite a few soft bags. I don‘t think that the more practical Cayman can do that.

They have exactly the same color as the Lotus badge. Wasn’t the case from the get-go, but Lotus changed that to matching colors.

I have scales and will probably get my car on the first of March. Will definitely weigh it ;)

Well mine doesn't 😅 Maybe it's due to my case. However of course the easiest way would be to glue a MagSafe charger to the standard rubber mat. For me personally, I would prefer MagSafe either way because it prevents the phone from sliding. In my Tesla the phones stop charging after every corner...

Another problem is that the freaking cameras on the iPhone 14 Pro are so big that it won't load on a Qi pad, because the phone can't lay flat. If we want to fit a MagSafe, it has to be a bit proud of the surface and can't be mounted flush.

Then it will be quite easy to draw a 3D model. Just some test prints for final fitting required. When I will finally have my car (probably 1st of March :) ), I will try my best and share the file. You just need somebody with a 3D printer then. But of course I could print some and try to get a...

Great news! Looking forward to that video!

Regarding your fault, I connected my Crafter to my diagnostics tool today to initialize the new battery I just fitted, because the old one died. There were 33 fault codes because of the malfunctioning battery, nearly every control unit the car has got upset. I just cleared them all and none came...

That's good news. I already wondered how I will get a cable up there from the USB port below. Is the rubber mat also removable? I could maybe design a 3D printable part with integrated Magsafe/Wireless charging for this tray.

Maybe the supplier is from continental Europe and they labeled it „drivers side“.

I wouldn’t consider this incident a bigger issue. It probably is just a problem on that very car. Doesn’t make sense to me that all four disks and pads fail, but yet it is only reported on this single car. They probably really got damaged by some sort of chemical, cleaning solution or whatever.

"Depending on your expectations" is the key part here. It will be perfect as it as for more people than any other Lotus than before, but can still be made close to perfect for most of the people who loved the Evora for it's driving characteristics. Of course it's not easy and doesn't make sense...

Komo-Tec will come out with a 475hp/500NM tune for the Emira, as they did for the Evora (for 6.300€) ;) You can do a lot, if you want to.

If you hoped for the Emira to be comparable to a GT3 or proper supercar, I would say it's not Lotus fault that you are disappointed. On the other hand, if you would like the Emira to drive more like an Evora, that shouldn't be the hardest thing to accomplish. They have the same ingredients as...

The Evora ones won't fit. Different chassis, same suspension scheme but different suspension, different brakes ;) The wider track alone makes for longer brake lines.

That was @Eagle7 and his last report was that the KEF guy on the phone promised that he will reach out to their engineering team and come back to him thereafter, which never happened. And now it seems as if @Eagle7 is not very active on here anymore and we might never get any update, if there...

I think we should all calm down a bit and test it for ourselves. With proper material either wired or via CarPlay/Android Auto, not via radio playback. People suggest that the setups problem is the „lack of tweeters“ or the „lack of power at only 560 Watts“, yet the car has tweeters (tree of...

Spoiler: Alacantara is microfiber ;) always and in every car

Normally those rubber settle in over time by the way. Just fiddle around a bit with them, a bit heat might help as well. Or just try to readjust them. It’s really a non issue, but would be nice if fitted perfect in the first place.

So they basically do a sports car test and say that the Emira is not enough of a sports car and doesn’t feel like a real sports car and than make an Audi RS3 third place? 😂

Please don’t correct that spelling mistake 🙏

And that’s the point that many people seem to miss. MSRP is reasonable, annual servicing is in the hundreds, if something breaks, you have a warranty, and insurance costs are not much more than a BMW 320 diesel. Of course there are quite a few better cars around, some of them maybe for a used...

Why? Because it’s faaaaaaster? Unpopular opinion: I also think that Bugatti built a nicer car with the Chiron. It’s faster than an Emira, yet more luxurious. How did they do that while Lotus can’t? Really sad to see McLaren in that position. I hope that they will overcome their problems and...

I don’t want fake V8 noise, however I like the general idea of artificial sound to add emotions. The Taycan for example has a cool sound and there they just recorded the drivetrain sounds and used all the lower frequencies it produces and amplified them.

It‘s just the combination of air intake below the glass for engine bay cooling and ducktail spoiler. If you want/need both, there is no way to solve the draining issue.

I'm not saying that it will change everything and is the way to go. I get what you're saying about driving your MX-5, because I have one myself and know that it is way more fun than my 500hp Tesla. What I rather think is that it's an interesting concept and there might be a possibility to get...

No matter what's the truth, there is no excuse for KEF not to answer to @Eagle7 if they initially told him to write him back. Even Lotus themselves are answering each request. Maybe not with actual content, but at least somebody types in some kind words.

Funny thing is that you need ridiculous amounts of electrical energy to make synthetic fuels. It only works if we find a way to get those ridiculous amounts without any environmental impact, because EVs use the energy just way more efficient than any ICE with synthetic fuel.

I think those kind of developments are really great because they add all the drama to EVs, yet if you don't want to, you can switch it off. I also don't need a loud fake engine sound coming from an EV, that's just plain stupid. But inside the cabin, if you can give me a 100 percent immersive...

Hyundai already has a prototype running with fake paddle shifters and it feels a 100% real. You hear the car kind of revving out (the don't just imitate an engine sound but rather created their own soundtrack) and if you shift, you really feel the shift. And if you don't shift, you hit a...

All true, but getting a perfect respray of the front fender is a few hundred bucks… PPF just seems silly to me for that kind of money.

In the EU, or at least in Germany, Xenon and Led headlamps have to be self levelling, so you can’t change anything as a driver. However the interior lighting is dimmable in the Emira via a roller switch.

It’s not rubbish. They simply started a 0-200 measurement on the box, but didn’t push until 100. the box then did the calculation for 0-100 and 100-200. doesn’t look good to call others idiots if it then turns out that you are wrong 😅

Think you don't get the point. The Emira i4 is not just a 4 cylinder. It's a EU6 conform 4 cylinder with cats, OPF, noise limitations, ... And Lotus will make only one Version that complies to all types of different regs. So everybody of you, no matter where you live, will get a car that...
