I didn’t believe it either when the dealer told me. But the reason why the sos comes and goes is battery drain when not in use. Mines gone now. Pretty sure it’s only the early builds when parts/cars sat around for ages. Something to check is the boot. If it’s not closed properly then, it will...

So basically the SOS warning light is due to low battery in the SOS module and it’s a different from the main battery. The way to fix this is to drive your car more often so it charges up the battery in the SOS module. You can’t put a charger like you do on the main battery. Dealer confirmed...

Will give this try. I’m going to clay the windscreen to remove any contaminants, then rain X.

Your not the only one. Mine drags and wobbles too. It’s not smooth (as it should be on a new car). Hopefully the software will fix this

Spoke to the field technician and a fix is due imminently from the wiper manufacturer. They’re having issues installing the software onto the canbus firmware system. But an alternative fix is to change the whole wiper motor with the updated software. So maybe this issue only affects the early...

I’ll give it a try. Thanks

No but will try and delete/reinstall the app. Thank you

Interesting, I thought it was all Emira’s that does it. So if you put your wipers on auto for a bit, then subsequently flick it to its highest speed, it goes faster or stays the same speed. I tested it today in the rain and it’s still the same. One speed wiper.

I will be meeting a Lotus field representative tomorrow regarding my wheel/steering pulsating, I will bring up the wipers issue too. It’s not acceptable that it is still not been resolved because dangerous driving in heavy rain. Is it a software problem or hardware (wiper stalk) problem? I...

Anybody else? Any solution? I have the phone tag switched on permanently on my iPhone. Most times I go out in the car, I get a phone call from Scorpion. The phone app connects and disconnects as soon as I’m in/out of the car. Tried to adjust the sensitivity but not much luck either. I have it...

I store the keys in a faraday bag relatively near the car. But what do you mean by waking the cars systems? How when cars locked and your keys are stored in a bag?

I do keep my tag separate like yourself but when I asked the scorpion engineer who came out to reset the system. He said that the tag can be attached to the keys because it’s more likely someone steals your car by scanning the signals rather than physically breaking in for your keys. If they do...

I have this on mine too. Check the mirrors mount corners on both sides to see if they are not sticking out . Also on many Emira’s, the panels gaps on passenger/driver side doors is not even. My driver side door gap is 3mm wider than the passenger side and if you shut the door gently and look...

Adjust the bump stops on the boot. Basically on mine, one bump stop on right side is longer than the left 🤔 from factory. The bump stops are used to align the shut panels in the boot correctly and also the ability to close with a slight drop from 10cm. It’s got to be just right. I’ve adjusted...

Pretty sure I just seen a Eletre on the Motorway. Oh wait, I do remember it said Kia on the back. Unless they can get my wipers fixed prompto (still waiting on software updates) I’m not ordering a Eletre. Just imagine how many software problems there will be in an electric car?

Mines like this too. I did wonder if I can polish this using a copper wire brush or something.

I learnt something new yesterday which may possibly help with the discharging battery. When the car is locked, I noticed that if I pull the car door handle the interior car lights would come on so I thought it is a welcome light. Every so often, the alarm would activate for no apparent reason...

I’ve got it booked in. The vibration doesn’t change on either smooth or pitted surface. It’s very noticeable at lower speeds coming from the steering wheel.

So if the brake disc aren’t balanced. Does this cause low speed vibration through the steering? I have new discs on mine and always had vibration through the steering wheel at low speeds since new

The SOS warning light has always been on since I picked the car up. I pressed the SOS call button which dialled out, hung up before it connected and today when I started the car up, the SOS warning light has disappeared, well I hope anyway.

Mines the same as your DRLS. Can confirm that resetting trip A is works. But somehow not trip B unless I’m doing the wrong thing.

Agreed. The orange peel is under the clear coat lacquer. Don’t wanna remove too much otherwise there is no clear coat left.

Unfortunately there is no where to stop on the motorway. Stuck behind a truck doing 60mph for a couple of miles isn’t fun either. Still awaiting for the software fix apparently. It’s dangerous and impractical to stop on the motorway also turning the car on and off still doesn’t work. Only works...

Sadly, without being negative. There are two types of customers here. Existing Lotus customers who are willing to put up with the teething problems of a small manufacturer and those who have purchased based on looks and how the Emira drives from a major manufacturers ie Porsche/BMW/whatever. I...

Yes on the green car but there are cars that were due to be delivered with pads stuck to the discs so they had to replaced and delay delivery. Some which escaped the PDI process have been delivered with seriously pitted discs at the base or cracked pads. Something to be aware of.

It is. The cars I think have been stored outside at BCA. Couple of weeks back they had delays with the delivery team. Turns out the pads and brake discs had corroded and stuck together on my car. So they changed the front discs and pads before delivery to me.

Tonight, I’m writing this with anger and being very annoyed because of so many teething problems. Following a lorry in the dark on the motorway, wet and windy is very dangerous. Lotus should do a recall immediately. The heavy rain and spray from the lorry causes very poor visibility because the...

That string lanyard thing on the keys has sharp edges. Putting this in your pocket, your keys will be all scratched, so poor in removed it immediately.

So should we really put up with an Emira which has flashing warning lights on the dashboard, vibrating steering wheel, sort out my tracker problem from day one. I’m stilling waiting for the car to be fixed and have to wait nearly a month for an appointment at my nearest dealer. Car still sat on...

You just need to buy a shorter usb cable from the dashcam to usb socket.

I have a dashcam attached to the usb socket next to the mirror. It powers down when you switch off the ignition, yes.

How very confusing. Rather there not be a light on the dashboard just for DRL’s. The green position light is always on regardless.

I also noticed the green light on the dashboard is always on whether it’s off (0) or on automatic. So I presumed it’s on because of the DRL? I’ve checked the dealers car and it’s the same.

My sons Ford Fiesta eco boost is one of the best drivers cars in my opinion and fast too for a 1 litre. Never had a problem apart from the usual serviceable items.

My driver side is twisted too but passenger side is ok as the seat belt rests on the edge of the seats. Spoke to Lotus dealer today and this is normal, it’s how it supposed to be. But I’m wondering why?

You should have been emailed a link from Lotus to register and login into the app. I got my email the day before pick up.

Ok. I get it now, yes I was referencing to the 2 way component like you said. Interesting to know!!

Now that makes sense now. The base model don’t get the KEF audio system.

I see. So you’re saying 2 way coaxials. I’ve always thought and know that 2 way component speakers are far superior for sound staging. Also why did they put in a tweeter grille when there is no tweeters.
