Did you check in the settings menu that folding mirrors are enabled? I remember that being an option to select

Very cool. Do you have a picture of the actual product?

Seriously your first 3 points are spot on when it comes to lotus ownership in general but especially when you don’t live near a dealer. Good stuff!

I’m not sure if if I agree with the “up and over” being one motion. With the short shift kit, it’s a much a faster 3-2 or 5-4 shift but I wouldn’t say it’s one action. It’s so much better though once you master it

Yep that’s what I thought

Where are you seeing lows 80s in the US?

No, when I plugged in the new battery no codes showed up at all so there was no need to plug it in and clear anything. Not sure a new battery throws any codes as I haven’t heard of that in any car. I wouldn’t worry about cleaning any codes if it doesn’t show up on the dash I only used the...

When I changed my battery I didn’t have to clear anything. Didn’t get any codes that I needed to clear

I’ve used the blue driver to clear all the CELs and it’s worked for me (CELs related to o2 sensors, etc). The only thing it didn’t clear is the airbag light after the carbon bucket seats install. I believe you need a lotus tool once you bypass the airbag warning light

Good stuff! The buttons are a game changer. Using CarPlay is much better. My GRP steering wheel should be coming in soon too!

I’ll let others chime in but pretty sure that’s completely normal. Mine had that in the engine bay the moment it rolled out of the dealership. I’m actually starting to use the below to fight any corrosion buildup just in case...

Damn! Why did you have yours replaced?

Just wash the car including the undercarriage and all is well

Sure, it’s a T6 40ah that I bought around 7 months ago. I usually don’t use tenders as I drive at least 1x a week but I hadn’t driven it for 3 weeks. Keep in mind the car was outside and it’s very cold here in the east coast. I failed to mention above the day before the issue I was doing...

Ran into this video on my YouTube and found it interesting. Many of the same issues that early adopter emiras are facing c8 owners are facing.

Update here- started the car the next day with no issues and drove it around for a while and all normal. Spoke to my lotus dealer and they confirmed that lotus cars are super sensitive to low batteries and that evoras/emiras from the factory are mapped to run rich and in the cold weather make it...

I’ve had both the H6 on my Evora and the t6 on my Emira. The h6 was def too tight so I’m glad they made the change. The t6 is just right. I’ve never seen any movement on it; it’s been quite sturdy

Ohh I just thought about a car that I’ve been really wanting to drive. The Cadillac cts V5 blackwing. Am def planning on renting one on Turo this summer. Vastly different than the Emira but it gets praises from reviewers

After turning the car off and back on it hasn’t come back and it’s been workkng perfectly normal after an hour of driving. I’ll continue to check on it but maybe it was a low battery. I’m hearing low battery can give new cars all type of faults

It was a 2023 m3 manual transmission so no the Xdrive. I have a Jeep JL too btw and would LOVE a 392. That car is wild!

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves I still love this car haha

Sorry I meant more of the last gen m2. These look a lil boxy

I’ve had my Emira for 8500+ miles and it’s been pretty dang great to this point outside of needing all new o2 sensors when I first got the car. It’s starting to get super cold on the east coast and this morning I got an alert that my battery is getting low on the Emira (fitted with an...

Yeah let’s get back on track with the thread. Anyone consider getting an m2? I’ve driven a newer m3 and wasn’t thrilled but I hear the newer m2 is pretty good.

Agreed. 0-60 times are def not what lotus is about. Never has, never will be. If you’re looking for straight line speed, this ain’t it. You’d be better getting something electric that launches like a rocket. We need to stop talking about the 0-60 and more of what the Emira does really well…...

Oh wow I guess it’s incredibly dependent on location too.

Sounds good I’m in. Will PM you

I’m not sure I get why folks go with special providers like Grundy etc instead of one the big chains? I’m with GEICO and get good rates and they’ve always been great to deal with. I don’t see this car as being collectors cars or having particularly hard to find comparable values. Should be...

Folks swear by this:

Will you ship the charging tray to the US? If so, I’ll take it

Good pointers! The one thing I struggled with the shifter knob going back on straight. One thing to note- you don’t have to tighten the knob all the way, if you do, it’ll end up like this After you turn the knob back a few turns, you can use the little screw to hold it tightly in place like this

Just wrapped this up and it looks crazy! Huge thanks to @kitkat. It’s mods like this that make the Emira stand out

Did the floating console mod! Really makes the cabin feel special and more raw, especially with the carbon bucket seats. It’s mod like this that set the Emira far from the competition

Where did you see that blue screen? Are you using the Bluetooth battery tracker to check the levels of the battery?
