Off-topic… is that blue vinyl or paint on the wheels? Looks interesting!

I did the first oil change in the Emira this weekend with about 800 miles on the odometer. For reference, this is what the oil looked like…kinda dirty. Oh and ignore the yellow car in the background 😁 The offset funnel suggested in this thread earlier worked well. I had purchased a large...

I bought mine from Lotus of Orlando, but Lotus of Jacksonville should be fine too. It’s a small dealership, but they’ve been around for many years. Back in 2021, they were selling Emira at MSRP.

I ordered it because (to me) it had a more premium look and feel compared to the leather steering wheel. I also never had a full alcantara steering before, so it was a good change. It still looks and feels new and I haven’t done anything special to it. No regrets.

My Evora GT does not burble at all. Every now and then the exhaust will do a loud bang when decelerating and downshifting, which is fun, but no burbles.

Assuming the battery has been properly charged previously, 2-3 weeks is not an issue.

I also went through the same stupid thing. Ended up using a BBQ tong to grab the panel that was barely visible. FYI, removing the undertray will not give you access to that area.

That white/red combo as spec’d would have been my second pick. Love it!

I learned from a previous mistake and prevented the regret by not selling/trading the Evora GT. I really really like my Emira, but the Evora is wilder and a more serious sports car. I would have regretted the decision. Your Elise is on another level of wild. Keep it if you can until after you...

Off-topic, but you could put a towel on the trunk and run the trickle charger cable through the slot below the rear window. That’s what I have been doing.

I only have 350 miles on it, but I am a happy camper so far.

Supra would be an easier car to live with, but drives and feels very differently than Emira, IMO. I had one. Really liked it for what it is.

You mentioned a “gray rubber insulated something”. I believe you can see it in this picture.

I knew my car was already at the port waiting for the CARB approval. Then one day I received a call that my car was ready for pick up.

Finally ordered and received the Certificate of Provenance for the Evora. As far as I know, this program is not available for Emira… yet.

I agree with your assessment. For comparison, my Emira does have sports suspension with cup2 tires, and it is still a bit softer than the Evora GT. Seems to have more suspension travel which makes it more compliant. All in a good way.

Just window tint and DIY paint decon + paint correction + ceramic coating.

At least break it in first.

Yes, my car! 🚙

Here you go. A few different angles to show 15% tint on the front windows only with factory privacy glass.

UHaul guys showed up too!

If my nearest Lotus dealership was 2+ hours away (and I am being generous), I wouldn’t buy it. It would be a PITA to address warranty and service related issues. Imagine if the car went into limp mode, you can’t safely drive it for hours to the nearest dealership. You would have to get it towed.

This is mine with 15% Xpel XR Black tint on front windows only. Looks great and a good match to factory privacy windows.

200 miles and still on first tank of gas🤨. No issues!

Thank you for confirming. I guess it’s expected behavior.

Since day 1, whenever I unlock the vehicle, the AC comes on. It doesn’t matter whether I open the door or not but it eventually goes off after a few minutes if I don’t start the car. Another time the car had been unlocked for a while, and the ECU was sleeping. I popped open the gas lid from...
