I agree about his larger points with the brand, leadership, and direction but I think his criticism of the Emira itself comes across a bit forced and petty. I know he’s had beef with Lotus PR in the past, and it really comes through in the video. I don’t really understand an Evora owner...

Yeah, thanks f Thanks for the advice, I do drive the car daily. I just keep it on a tender every night in case I go out of town or otherwise have an unexpected period of not driving the car. I’ve seen that the car is sensitive to battery state so just try to keep ahead of it with the charger...

Hey thanks for the update. I'm on trip 7 or 8 in my first year of ownership, and the dealer is about 70 miles away so really hoping to get it resolved soon. I'll ask them about the O2 sensors and confirm which ones were replaced, and see if maybe they can just do all of them for good measure...

Hey OP, did your issue ever come back? I’ve been battling a P2099 which has entailed: O2 sensor replacement ECU replacement Wiring loom replacement Exhaust gasket replacement Software updates After my most recent trip to the dealer I’ve been getting a CEL that goes on and off. Code specifies...

Ideally just wheels but am open to tires as well if you’re looking to get rid of them, depending on pricing.

Hey realize I'm late to the party here but if for some reason anything falls through, I'm interested as well!

Hello, Looking for an alternate set of wheels for my Emira. I'd be interested in purchasing some used wheels if anybody has takeoffs they're looking to part with. I don't need tires, but am not opposed if you want to sell the set.

Update as well if it helps anybody, the dealer found a problem with the pre-cat O2 after the last trip to the shop. The car started giving reduced acceleration warnings so I stopped driving and had it towed. They replaced the faulty sensor and it’s back to me for some test miles again. Fingers...

It can potentially damage the catalytic converter, if the issue is with the pre-cat O2 sensor. The engine fuel air mixture could be off and that can cause issues with the cat. I don’t want to give you advice as I I’m not a mechanic and don't know what your issue is, so you should probably...

I don’t think it would mess with your warranty, as my dealer offered it as an optional package. That said, I’m in the US. We have some legal protections regarding warranties that don’t exist elsewhere. If you have any doubts I’d just contact your dealer, but I’d be very surprised if you got any...

Welp, spoke too soon. Just picked up the classic P2099 again, as well as P2272, P2273, and P0451. I’ll get it back to the dealer next week. The journey continues 😞

It looks like GRP is selling the Braid wheels from the GT4, but they’re quite spendy. https://www.gregsraceparts.com/products/18-braid-motorsport-forged-evora-wheels-for-track-race-use?variant=46134478471401 If anyone has luck with a different 18” wheel, would love to know what worked.

I think there have been some teething issues related to emissions compliance. My understanding from what I've seen online is that there were production delays with the Emira, and in that time California CARB compliance requirements changed. My guess is that the team at Lotus probably had to...

I’ve got a 16 Pro Max. Was actually wondering about the fast charging so appreciate the update!

Quick update, after swapping the O2 sensors, tracing all the wiring, and running diagnostics, the dealer replaced the ECU as the issue kept coming back. I got it back from the shop last week and am test driving now, but hopefully the issue is finally resolved. My understanding of the issue is...

Hello, I’d be interested in ordering one of these if you’re planning another batch. Thanks!

Thanks! I was late to the party and missed the FE order window but fortunately found an abandoned order at my local dealership in my ideal spec. I really like white cars, and appreciate that Lotus went with a more unique shade of white on the Emira.

This is great! Also just ordered a set as the touch sensitive buttons are terrible.

If anybody enjoys watching detailing videos, I had my car detailed by Clear Detailing in Northern Colorado, and they made a video on the factory paint and overall detailing process on the car for their YouTube channel. Can’t recommend Clear highly enough if you’re in the area. One correction...

Thanks for the data points. Glad to hear yours is sorted. Thankfully everything seems to just be tied to Bank 2 for me. I’ve been thinking it’s sensors but I suppose it could be the cat as well.

I don't think I received a trickle charger, but I haven't cracked open the tire repair kit to confirm. I do already have one that connects with alligator clips. I was tempted to disconnect and reconnect the battery, but I'm kind of nervous to touch anything with the battery given all the...

Hello, I just picked up my earlier this month, and about 200 miles in I had my first couple issues: ESC error with reduced acceleration (limited to 4k RPMs). I was able to fix this by restarting the car and it didn't come back. A few days later, a check engine light with a code of P2099...

I had a check engine light come on yesterday, and the dealer service advisor told me that Lotus was able to remote into the car and pull diagnostics for me. He wasn’t sure how, but I imagine it has to be the onboard cellular connection as I haven’t connected my car to WiFi.

I just tried this, and it’s annoyingly and unnecessarily difficult. The manual advises using a fingernail, but your nail will come off before the cover will. Ultimately I was able to use a guitar pick. Well, two picks. One was small enough to pry the edge up, and then I wedged a thicker one...
