    Emira cup 2 tires Q, puncture

    Please at least match both sides on the same axis. It's probably fine, but I'd go the safe way..

    Clutch malfunction and Gearbox can't shift into gear

    How bad is it? Does rolling a few centimeters help instead of pumping? Many Emiras have this and "it's how the gearbox is" :LOL: It tends to get better with each kilometer driven, but it still happens for me at 20k+ from time to time. Just want to save you another Lotus trip with probably no fix...

    Manual shift not going into 1st, 2nd, reverse

    At least you don't have to worry about money shifting? 🌚 I also had gear selector issues early on, however different from yours. For me the lever went too far up in first and was "stuck outside of the gate". Dealer could easily fix this and readjusted the cables while at it. Best of luck!

    Rear lights ON when trunk open ?

    Probably after 7 minutes, that's when most of the auxiliary power cuts

    Emira Issues - from final production cars

    Do wash as you please, it’s not like they reinvented a car. It absolutely should handle a pressure washer. The amount of water related issues on the Emira is insane. As far as your seal problem goes, others had this issue too. Something about the seal not being fitted correctly. Consult your...

    Let me know if anyone ends up ordering a Alcantara top/bottom + perforated sides combo. Would love some pictures ❤️

    Since it's all Lync&Co they might even "Just Work (tm)" - bonus for those who hate the touch controls

    Air con known issue -no fix yet [EDIT: now with official fix]

    Absolutely. Mine was broken from day one and I didn’t know. Just thought the AC performance was subpar on this car. After it was fixed it almost blew me out the windows 😂

    Engine Light

    There are instances where the light will go out only after running for a bit. Depends on the code thrown. An ESC/ABS sensor error for example will only clear itself, after driving some kilometers and reporting matching values. Get a reader if you want to be sure.

    Air con known issue -no fix yet [EDIT: now with official fix]

    That's definitely the case with this one. Emira tends to fog up like crazy and there's almost no chance to get it free without HVAC. Been there, done that. Do I think Lotus will handle it like a safety issue? Absolutely not.

    Hill start delayed release - now resolved by software update

    It might be still broken actually... While I didn't have it happen to me since the update, others are still reporting the same issue :(

    Hill Hold?

    That's the difference between Auto-Hold and Hill-Hold. Emira has Hill-Hold equipped. Auto-Hold should have been included for the automatics however, another oversight from Lotus in my opinion. They could still deliver all these things in a software update, but given the fact they are...

    Cruise Control on Emira

    It does 1 km/h increments just fine if it's set to km/h. Small adjustments are also easily done. It's a bit tricky the first 3-4 times until you figure out the timing

    Hill Hold?

    Oh sure, hill hold should definitely be switchable. I was going on the misconception of not being able to use the electric handbrake for this. Might this be a work around actually? - Come to a stop on a hill - Engage and immediately disengage e-brake while staying on the footbrake -...

    Hill Hold?

    Who is stopping you from doing this in the Emira? With auto-handbrake enabled it'll even disengage automatically when you start to go, just like hill hold.

    Infotainment starts up when opening door or hatch

    I did sit in the car for 3 hours. You need patience for the astronomical stuff and it's not every day you can see northern lights in Germany :LOL: I did not immediately lock the car, since I was curious how it behaves for the folks who don't lock the car in the garage. I did lock it later from...

    Infotainment starts up when opening door or hatch

    Btw you can try the heartbeat and vents moving faster if you just lock yourself in the car using the key instead of drivers button. This will activate the first phase immediately without waiting. Heartbeat takes 3-5mins to kick in. Vents irregularly. Just don't move too much or set the alarm to...

    Infotainment starts up when opening door or hatch

    I’ve sat in the car for about 3 hours, switched off, waiting for polar lights. After about 7 min the infotainment shuts off. Driver display stays on, but switches to a black screen with just the clock on it. Also all ambient light stays on, ceiling light already off after doors closed. If you...

    What are some annoying "features" you've experienced?

    Pro Tip: If you open the door first and then press a memory button, the seat should do the full motion without keeping the button pressed

    EVAP system - charcoal canister issue

    Better get used to it earlier than later huh? 🤣
  28. Kimmax

    What are some annoying "features" you've experienced?

    Is it a US thing? Certainly does on mine. Maybe new batteries needed? In my case it sometimes didn't work and I figured it might be the signal cutting out. New batteries did the job :D

    Emira Issues - from final production cars

    Probably not a factory issue but your dealer rushing the airbag safety recall before delivering the car :D They should remedy this easily.

    Yeah if you aren’t smooth with it you get a hard CLANK as a confirmation of full lock achieved 😂

    Would you like custom illuminated seat badges?

    Exactly. I’ll try to find the easiest route and hopefully a solid connector that can be extended without tapping cables directly

    Is it possible to identify the build date from the VIN?

    Seems to match, I got 102x and delivered early November 23. So it's indeed roughly chronological order. Edit: Mis-checked, I'm ending HR1047x

    Yep. I'll have some time to pursue this available soon :)

    Is it possible to identify the build date from the VIN?

    While we're at it - is the VIN serial continuous? Meaning 10xxx = actually the xxxth car build?

    Head Light On dash light always ON ?

    Pretty sure my rental XC showed low beams as active when active in auto mode

    Check Engine Light after a few laps on Track

    You have the codes? One guess would be calibration of the exhaust flap. If it doesn’t open as expected it’ll throw a code after some time. Had this early on mine and a simple calibration did the job. It’s a V6 tho.

    Head Light On dash light always ON ?

    Yes, all cars like that. No, I don’t think that’s how it should be, but that’s the least of my concerns. The lights work and no one got a puddle of water in them yet - that’s a win everybody 😂

    Highway "Cruising" - Consensus Feedback

    20k+ km on Touring / Goodyears. Yes you feel a lot. Might be vibrations, grooves (from road surface material itself, like concrete) and ruts (from heavy vehicles). You can also feel a slight "pull" in a specific direction, if the road is angled for water drainage. I get a slight wheel "shake"...
