Attached the picture, and the dealer (Lotus of Dallas) has it right now and says Lotus can't find anything to do, and the CELs are intermittently on. Curious if anybody else has had these issues? The car is running fine, I have no issues, but right now the dealer also has no resolutions as...

Hey all, just finished doing the install for the Greg Race Parts Steering Wheel Buttons (the non-haptic ones) and also since I had to undo the battery, figured I'd go ahead and wire the battery tender from CTEK as well at the same time. Figured this video would be easier than trying to follow...

So interesting issue I had today after I washed my car (must be the culprit!) - the automatic parking brake doesn't auto-release. When I shift into reverse I thought I lost the camera, but apparently the 'view' changed so I hit a button and got it back... and the side view mirror which usually...

Hi all, So when I start my car, CarPlay connects every time - but occasionally the dash where I see the display for it (not the infotainment screen but the speedometer screen) shows that it’s set to the radio. I can’t swap it to CarPlay and every time I use the next track button it swap to the...

Hey all - I got a silicone black license plate holder for now, can't find anything "Lotus" related on Amazon or anywhere else, so going to stick with that unless you good folks have any other ideas? Open to suggestions.

Hey all, just figured I'd ask as I live in Texas -- any thoughts on a good sunshade/sunscreen? I don't often need it but when I do it's a nice thing to have. I bought a shift knob cover as well for things like this as it may get too hot or too cold, so just adding a few odds and ends as I need...

Not sure if you all know about this, but the Porsche Roads app is a great app to find "fun roads" to to take a drive. If you haven't snagged it already I highly recommend it.

Hey all, So let me start by putting up some pictures of how this looks. This is the finished product, and very simple and easy to setup.

Hi all -- I got a mirror tap put in for my radar detector today - it worked for a moment as I tested it (before putting the shroud back up), then I saw the wires had gotten unplugged from the tap. I guess my zip tie was too high up. I do have my dashcam plugged into the USB just fine, so no...

Hey all -- I get my car on Tuesday and since I can't drive it too much until I get the PPF done (which won't be until the 14th) I am going to take the time to wire the things I need to into my car. I have a Uniden R8 radar detector, a 3 way dashcam (RedTiger F17), and then a wireless phone...

Figure I'd post this here as I'm keeping an eye out on who is getting PPF done and where, pricing, products, etc. Dallas Area PPF Lotus of Dallas (XPEL - Not sure if Custom or Pattern but probably pattern) Pro Kit - $1800 (front bumper/partial hood) Touring - $3k (full front) Touring Plus -...

Hey all -- I did opt to get privacy glass partly because I didn't want to add tint to the rear window as with the engine heat plus living in Texas, I didn't think the life of the tint would be very worthwhile. That said, my understanding is that privacy glass also adds a tint to the B pillar...

Hi all, So I finalized my build in December (presuming a March build) - what is the timeline for build+delivery into the US? I guess I can ask this question now that CARB is done :) Was guessing June, but not sure when folks cars landed in the US from when they finalized their build. Also...

Just came back from the test drive! I have a video (which my face is half blocking, sorry) that I'll upload later. Early impressions -- phenomenal. Power is where I expected it to be, does not throw you back in the seat like other cars but the delivery is linear and solid. Handling, which I got...

Just curious on this, as I know it was an option with BMWs and things in the past, can save a pretty penny and enjoy a nice vacation :)

So I have a stupid question - and this is based on what I'm hearing here and other places... I put my deposit down about two weeks ago (late to the game, yeah, I know!). Here's my dilemma -- I put a deposit down for a BMW M3 a while ago, with an expectation I'd probably get it in April of next...

Hi all -- just curious on the thoughts on this -- I like the idea that I can show my engine bay off through the rear window, but wouldn't mind some UV protection since I live in Texas. I figure it might be best to opt against it, and tint the windows after I get the car, but thoughts? I don't...

I am just curious what the production numbers are looking like for Lotus' targets for the Emira? For example, I think Chevy has a 40k number for the Corvette worldwide, any ideas for the Emira?

Hi all - new to the forums, but I have an order in for the 6MT Magma Red with tan interior. I'm debating whether I should have the alcantara steering wheel, or the leather. For the interior I'm fine with the leather as I feel like it's probably a bit more durable and I actually plan to drive...

So since getting married 14 years ago, I opted for progressively more and more "family" oriented choices -- no, never a minivan! Before getting married I was a pretty avid autocrosser, and had an E46 M3 and two Mazda RX-8s. The M3 was great, all around sleeper, was powerful (for its time), and...

Just like the topic says... I have a BMW M3 on order, but the Emira looks like the car I'd really want. I'd prefer the V6 (since it's a Toyota and will likely outlast the car), with a manual transmission. Appreciate any thoughts on what folks think, and what the difference is? Also curious if...
