I had many of the same complaints and solved a lot of them with a quality dash cam, an Antigravity LiFePO4 car battery, and their battery tracker module. The module offers battery telemetry, one of which being GPS monitoring, so you can always see where the car is and a trail of where it's been...

Looks like a Viofo A139Pro. I have the A229 Pro I'll be installing in the same location this weekend now that my tint is done.

I've had It as well, glad I'm not the only one. So far it's happened twice when I've opened the door and the infotainment system powers on. It almost sounds like an electrical short or power surge through the speakers, like when you pull a live external speaker wire out of a headphone jack. It...

No issues with nozzle/paint contact here in my first 4 fill-ups at Wawa, Buc-ee's, or Costco. TBD if some other stations have different handle designs. I also tap it with the nozzle tip still inside the cap-less fuel receptacle and haven't had any drips anywhere I don't want them. And this was...

Congrats! If the rattling sounds like marbles in a tin can from 1-2k rpm, then it's normal. It's flywheel chatter from the lightweight flywheel that's located essentially right behind the driver's seat.

The cabin windows have no tint from factory. I'm doing XPEL Prime Plus in 70% windshield and 30% sides. I wanted 45% sides but the shop I'm using doesn't offer that shade, so I went with the next darker option. I personally will never go darker than 30% as I don't like the wanna-be gangster limo...

It's a 70Ah AGM battery .

Honest question, what can a scammer do with a VIN? I always see people blur out their plates in photos and I never understood that either. Here in the US no one outside of law enforcement can do anything with a plate number. We all drive with them on display for the public to see everyday...

My understanding is the carbon option replaces the U-shaped section below the airbag module, as well as all the piano black plastic around the buttons and above/behind the airbag? If so, the ability to do that plus potentially get a round wheel is a big win for me.

24XX VIN, March 2024 build. Pretty pleased, especially considering my car showed up in the US on April 7th.

Swapped in my Antigravity battery today with only 54 miles on the odometer. It was easier than expected, taking about 20 minutes. I also added their "battery tracker plus" bluetooth module that's fun/helpful for data nerds. It graphs your voltage, cranking amps, temp, GPS if you forget where you...

Thanks! It is, haha that's funny, he did a great job. About to go find some mid-day empty roads to knock out more break-in miles before working overnight tonight. Feels like Christmas morning as a kid.

Finally in the garage after a 7 day trip from Bellevue to Jacksonville (plus 30 months waiting prior to that). I forgot how much fun a home delivery can be. Feels great! My VIN is in 2400's, so I do think it was just luck of the draw when getting picked up at the port a month ago. If you're...

If I recall correctly, Switzerland has some of the most strict traffic laws in the world. So comparatively, the relatively relaxed laws that surround the outskirts of LA probably seem reckless in comparison. The police are well aware of LA car culture and generally allow speeding on the more...

I'm always confused when people have no problem dropping ~$100k+ on a sports car but complain about the value of a few hundred bucks more for a lighter battery or the best intake. I wouldn't buy a mansion to fill it with Ikea furniture. Let's be honest, no one here bought an Emira made the...

It sounds like many of you are describing tramlining, which as Porter said is amplified in the Emira with the combination of a light front end, sticky tires, hydraulic steering, plus road surfaces with parallel imperfections like ruts or linear grooves between lanes, etc. I first experienced...

A 40AH lithium battery is roughly the same usable capacity as an 80AH lead acid/AGM battery, so it should be more than enough.

Welcome! You can search your VIN and see when it arrived in the US using Nova's spreadsheet if it helps >>> US Shipment VIN Tracking Sheet <<<

Agreed, I've always enjoyed his enthusiasm, even if it deep dives into the nerdy stuff. They're often very long, but I treat it like a podcast and play it in the background when I'm doing other stuff around the house. This is his smaller personal channel, but he's been doing EV focused...

Another long form review from Kyle Conner, comparing it to the 718 GTS 4.0

Surprised to hear people recommend K&N on here. I thought it was well known among higher end car enthusiasts to avoid auto parts store brands like that, K&N being the most common example. I have to disagree that "modified cars rarely get better". Almost every car I've owned has gotten faster on...

Yes I've been lusting after one for years but could never justify the cost or general insanity. Decided life is short and finally submit a build allocation with a 30% deposit last month! They're quoting 18-24 months for delivery due to a backlog of orders. Let's hope it doesn't take as long as...

For sure! I got Nimbus Grey over tan interior, silver wheels and yellow calipers.

His car is already at the dealer, it's being loaded onto a truck to get shipped directly to him. Same story for me but it takes a week to get from Bellevue to Florida where I am now thanks to my employer. 6 days left!

Late 2024 or Early 2025 was the guidance given from Lotus USA I believe. Sounds like they're starting to build them now or very shortly. Mine is on the way from Washington state as of yesterday. Should be here next week as well, I'm near Nocatee.

Eventuri haș always been at the high end of the intake market with their bespoke carbon designs. I might bite off on this if I don't want to risk going for a tune, but waiting to hear some sound clips first. EDIT: Someone posted a sound clip on the private FB group shown above. It's good.

I really wish they would've done one of their street reviews instead of talking about its track characteristics most of the time. I don't think this is a very good track car and I certainly won't be using it as such more than once or twice just for fun. Give us some back roads!

Wow, absurdly expensive.

Glad you love the car. I agree entirely about Porsche. The GT car lineup are some of (if not the best) enthusiast cars that exist in my opinion, but it's being absolutely tarnished by the dealerships and their greed. Love to hear you refusing ADM, I am the same way. ADM's wouldn't exist if we...

Paperwork complete, waiting in the backlot showroom in Bellevue to be picked up by covered carrier on Monday. Feels surreal after so many years. It will have made two cross country trips before it even has 10 miles on the odometer.

I just want a version of the Evija Seats for the Emira. If I could get these (or something similar) with matching tan I'd probably pay a stupid amount for them.

Attached are the PPF options they offered me. I said no because like you I don't want to risk pre-cut film. I'm also unsure I want to do full PPF again given the high costs. If I do, it will be with a vetted local shop. EDIT: For reference, my Emira was on the 4/6 ship and arrived in WA on...

LOL at people using the words "authoritarian" when talking about government EV incentives. What an insult to people who have actually lived under an authoritarian regime. I'm personally indifferent about the future of Lotus after the short 36 month warranty expires on my car. The only downside...

Same, mine usually gets back to me within a day even if his responses are short and vague. My car arrived there Monday, I'm just waiting for them to tell me when I can pay for it and how to have it shipped. Trying to be patient since they're apparently getting 14 cars dropped off per week, but...
