Wtf no That sounds haunted or like the silly goose toy

I feel like Sport is enough for the responsive throttle map and sound. Is there really a difference in sound besides in idle due to the increased rpms?

Pretty sure if the ECU were to shutdown in the Emira the car wouldn't be moving at all :LOL:

Find the nearest shop with an OBD scanner, it'll tell what's up. Don't listen when Lotus Roadside Assitance starts throwing hands because "You didn't get it towed by us". Argue with them, tell them it's not your problem and you want them to deal with it, escalate it, whatever is needed. I've...

It shouldn’t be but probably is :D Best spot is inside the arm rest on the bottom. There’s a key shaped spot and the key will work there even if the battery is dead

Thanks for the insight. Half way enaged would be less load, but half way more then expected - I’m guessing it’s not supposed to be engaged on start up st all. I do think however it’s a somewhat significant load, especially to overcome initial torque required to get spinning. If that’s enough to...

You’ll probably want to run a few miles as idling won’t be charging the battery effectively I think

Wild idea here, but could the AC clutch "get stuck" somehow? Not engaging all the way, rendering the compressor inoperable but still producing unexpected resistance that could stall out the car when starting? I’ve absolutely no idea how that part works so "lol no" is a valid answer 😂

Car stuttered to stall on start today. Second time immediately started. AC is working again and the sound is gone..

Is the battery dying? I forgot to unlock the car before disconnecting the battery last time and was met with a alarm not being happy about that 😂

It doesn’t persist and shuts down with the ECU. Sounds like a pump running dry? Gonna check what’s under the hood at that place

It’s fine 😂 Nothing I could change besides selling. And somehow I STILL think it’s worth it

And no - it’s definitely not the radiator doing some retroactive cooling 😂

AC left me today. Seems like it’s the known issue where it only blows hot (does some little cold air if I’m getting lucky and on low fan setting). Also only blows in the foot area, regardless of what setting is used. What I didn’t hear about yet is a loud humming (almost like the sound big...

I’ve choosen to do an oil/filter change at about 2k km. It’s not required, we checked back with Lotus. Probably still a decent decision. Set me back about 430€ (That’s including VAT)

The Emira isn’t for you then

Independents definitely cannot do any updates. You can’t even pull the current versions via OBD, so you’ll have to stick to your main dealer for that. However I’d bet my last shirt on your dealer not keeping track of updates for you. They’ll tell you to come in and check there. They can’t even...

bruh excuse me? That's the third safety-relevant issue arose and I still wasn't "officially" notified about anyone. Who is Lotus kidding here?

It is, it’s the (hidden) wireless network CarPlay and AA use that takes too long to show up

Just get the mag safe charger, not that hard

It’s not perfect, but I’ve seen far far faaaar worse.

Dealers know nothing. They get as much information in between as we do and that’s zero. They hope unexplainable shit is fixed in the next update and that’s what they resort to. Spolier: It’s not fixed. Good luck next time.

It seems it depends on if you’re able to lock your configuration before the deadline or not - which apparently is tied to your estimated build date.

Sorry, I don't quite get it - the brake doesn't release at all when using the hill assist? If that's the case it sounds like the car doesn't detect the movement and lets the hill assist timeout... Does the parking brake auto-release when active and starting to pull away?

CarPlay uses Bluetooth and WiFi in combination. RFID blasting under toll booths and possibly modern electronic signs on highways probably wreak havoc with either or both. Some cars seem to be more sensitive to this. I suspect the Emiras WiFi to not be set up too well. Upon entering the car...

Only visible on the Lotus Insight tool. As long as no one manages to get a hold of a copy (Unlikely, apparently it’s well looked down and tied to a specific dealer) or reverses the protocol we can’t see that info.
