No…..

Every car that I’ve ever had with front sensors has done it occasionally when in stop/start traffic. I put it down to interference from rear sensors on the car in front….

US V6 User Manual appears to have been updated to April 2024 non-draft version : https://www.lotuscars.com/en-US/emira-handbook

I'm not sure how they'd attach to a plastic car.....

Pure speculation/bull💩 as far as I'm aware..... You can still order a V6 manual or auto in the UK but the configurator states "delivery in 2025" - until recently this said 2026. Most likely down to implementation of new Euro 6e emissions requirements and the requirement for mandatory speed...

In true Lotus terminology, "They all do that, Sir".....

Whilst the Emira has the capability to connect to a Wi-Fi network embedded in it's OS, there's currently no OTA firmware or nav map update functionality available so it's beck to the dealer, at least for now..... Some have had success by removing the phone from the car setup and the car from...

They all do, and always have done, but there’s no storage under there…..

He will be “doing something else linked with the Lotus brand and its heritage” - watch this space…… 😉

Scott left a few weeks ago, having first given notice, then extended twice, at the end of September 2023...... :cry: Finders crossed that Stratton Motors (Lotus Norfolk) take a new car sales agency back again (currently only service agents and approved used car sales since the last changes) as...

See my post #3 above….. 😉

Remembering that this is a hand built car with varying tolerances, I’d rather that the windows were adjusted so as to seal properly when closed rather than worry about a tiny bit of glass showing when fully open….

Sounds like a mistake to me....... Years 2 to 6 should definitely be £600pa (at current rate....) https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax-rate-tables

App needs to be set up to car, open and running in the background : Settings, Phone Tag (on iOS at least!)

I was firmly in the i4 camp at launch (and my i4 deposit was placed on launch day) for many of the reasons given above. However, since driving both (also had an Evora S IPS before) I cancelled my i4 order in favour of an ex-dealer demo V6 auto when the UK i4's were delayed (again) in Q3 2023...

You CAN still order a UK V6 FE now (but via a dealer as the UK direct sales model now appears to be defunct - another recent UK configurator change) but the UK configurator states no more UK V6 DELIVERIES until 2026 at the end of the process...... However, as we all know with Lotus :

It does say (right at the end of the UK configurator) no more UK V6 deliveries before 2026 though……

Back “home” at Hethel….

Phone tag function works just fine with this app : https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/lotus-vehicle-tracker/id1522877740 - Android equivalent may be available - tracker tag shouldn’t really be kept with key in any case (pun intended!) as it negates the benefit of having a tracker if tag is stolen...

https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/lotus-vehicle-tracker/id1522877740 It has its own Lotus Scorpion app that also lets iPhone replace the tag (which shouldn’t be kept with keys in any case) - there’s probably the same for Android but I don’t have an Android phone to check….

I leave the AC on all the time (which also keeps the compressor lubricated and prevents seals drying out, etc.) , set temperature, press “Auto” - it’s not just simple AC - it’s automatic climate control - and the system takes care of everything - including drying out the “dankness” here in the UK…..

Mine was an ex-dealer demo car but the remainder of the one year subscription (standard for the UK at least) was easily transferred…

In the UK the password was emailed to us - username is your email address - suggest you check with your dealer….. Or you could try your email address and the “forgot password” option in case they’ve set you up and just not given you the details…..

https://www.lotuscars.com/en-GB/stolen-vehicle-tracker I think all Scorpion Tracker manuals globally are now here…..

This style of plates (registration number for illustration only!) are legal right across Europe apart from Spain and Malta who, for some bizarre reason, insist on the separate sticker. I suspect something around reverting to old rules post-Brexit that were never updated. I have a 5-digit number...

Having just been to Ypres Lotus day I can confirm that only about half the UK cars on Le Shuttle actually had said correct sticker/number plate designator…….. For the sake of a few quid why take the risk though……

Auto V6 doesn't exist (yet!) in the USA - still waiting for emission signoff. It's been available in UK and Europe for around a year now.... Cue someone coming along again to say "just get the manual" etc. blah blah..... :ROFLMAO:

Nothing needs to be (or can be) done regarding headlights - the LED beam pattern is flat enough. You do need a UK Sticker now (NOT GB any more) if not already part of your number plate and some other bits : https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/travel/advice/checklist/

Yes - V6 automatics will creep - it's not Autohold everywhere, just hill hold that stops the car rolling backwards (mainly useful for manual cars)....

I've never noticed it as an issue in the UK - or do petrol (gas) pump handles follow the "everything's bigger in the USA" saying? :ROFLMAO: Having said that we can't lock ours on dispense either - that's illegal here - we have to hold the handle down.....

This is standard on most European cars - if the doors are locked (whether from inside, outside or by autolock when moving [if set in options]) the first pull of the internal handle unlocks, second pull opens the door. The only exception is if there is a "deadlock" option on the remote...

My point is that Bell and Colville prices are higher than the fixed prices on the Lotus UK web page for years 2 and 4……

Hmmm……not that fixed then….. Check years 2 and 4….. https://www.lotuscars.com/en-GB/aftersales/fixed-price-service
