Welcome to the forum @zero2sixtystudios and congrats on the upcoming delivery. What spec did you order?

Likely, but $99 seems very expensive. I think the one I got off Amazon was ~$20 back then. I've used it for many years with no issues. They all do the same thing.

You should be able to pull any of the common codes with a generic Bluetooth OBD2 dongle and an app like Torque or Carista (maybe).

I always say GTIs are the best and most versatile daily drivers. A blast to drive around town and grab groceries with but also a very capable track car that can still get my heart racing. Plus they're fairly cheap to modify! I was lucky enough to keep mine, but it did get kicked out of the...

Why would it take a month to get the car after it arrives at the port?? 😕

Gyeon Q2 Rim Quartz is my favorite. It's easy to apply. I pop the wheels off and wash them with iron wash, let them dry, then coat the face, inner spokes, and barrels with the rim Quartz. I usually do 2 coats all around plus the calipers. That stuff is really amazing. Makes cleaning the wheels...

Thanks for the detailed comparison and welcome to the forum! 😎

Hm.. I bookmarked the post, but not sure where we should sticky it. Maybe we should create an Emira Maintenance sub and stick it there? What do you think? It doesn't really fall under modifications.

Yeah, I drove a couple and talked myself out of it. I had my whole build planned out and everything! Still.. hell of a car for the money.

Lmfao.. Could you imagine? Window goes up and cop pulls a gun and tells Emira owner to get out. Reminds me of the Always Sunny episode where Dennis tries to take a mental health day and gets pulled over in the EV he rents.

Funny.. I've been tempted a few times to cancel my Emira order for a Stratosphere Blue Suprahhh!

Congrats on the delivery!! A UAE friend of mine has this same exact window issue with her Emira. Keep us posted if you get a fix from the dealer.

He ordered the same day as me back in July 2021 too. So crazy.. Should just cancelled or moved his deposit to the new Lotus of Philly that opened while we were waiting. Woulda been much closer and you know.. also here by now. 😡

Strange.. My buddy's ends in 1556 and it's not there. 😔

Sorry for the bad luck @FeelsWheels! It happens to the best of us eventually. Did Orlando say how long to source a replacement?

Thanks for the real world review @Subw00er! It's so great to have actual owner feedback finally. I can't wait to drive one again myself.

This is truly a terrible incident with shocking footage of it all. I've driven over this bridge many times and have many co-workers in the Baltimore area. Thankfully everyone I know is safe and sound. In my comic book and video game mind, I always envision the Avengers and Spider-man swinging...

So frustrating! Maybe the sensor needs to be calibrated? You'd think the installer would have gotten this done properly. Somewhat related - I had my GTI's windshield replaced a couple years ago and they used aftermarket glass. The auto wipers work still, but my rear view mirror is about an inch...

Every single thing that's happened with UK order and ownership experience these past few years has and will continue to happen to North American vehicles. From delay communications to initial bugs and issues. They may have software updates available but the communication from Lotus UK and Geely...

Absolutely insane. I've never seen anything like this. I've crossed that bridge many times as well. 🤯

I'll be in Costa Rica and staying far away from screens that last week of April, but I'll be sure to join the next one. Thanks for setting this up. Great chatting with everyone last night! 🤙🏼🦥 🏝️

Thanks for setting it up! Porter, MIGZ, and I stayed on a bit longer and decided to host these monthly for anyone interested.

Welcome to the party @Jimbo$lice 🤙🏼

It may be less expensive, but I've heard horror stories about Lotus windshield replacements in the past. Sometimes taking many months to source one. This was one of my biggest fears.. taking delivery and then having a rock crack the windshield on the way home and being unable to get it through...

I really doubt it... but following this thread for confirmation. I can't even find a part number for the oem glass. Maybe one of our resident sleuths can.... @kitkat @Porter??

Agreed! I see a Lotus in the wild maybe 2-3 times a year (not counting C&C meets or track days). I posted some more interesting production number stats here:

I'm down :cool:

The visible light transmission (VLT) of the privacy glass is 24.5%. The tailgate glass lets in 6% UV light and the rear three quarter windows allow 7.1% UV. source

Classic JDM spec! Love it. Order some TE37s and you're all set. :cool:🔰
