@HankRS225 So, I believe I just finally resolved this issue with my Emira and wanted to share. I've attached 3 photos to this post. The one with the yellow arrow shows the issue, and is pointing to a spring-loaded disc in the exhaust valve actuator assembly. It is very hard to get great photos...

I found the easier way to verify the buttons is to do the testing with the bottom panel off. You can look up and into the valve and clearly see the mechanism rotate. When you press #1 it rotates fully counterclockwise and gets loud, then press #2 and it rotates maybe 1/4-1/2 turn clockwise, and...

I have the exact same error codes. The CEL comes on if I let the car do the shifting during a hard acceleration and I can usually avoid it by just driving the car in manual mode. However, my CEL goes away after a few days if I drive it less aggressively/manually. I've taken it to the dealer and...

I haven't touched the exhaust or the controller. I've pulled power from the battery before, but that's it.

I've got both of these codes right now and can't find a consistent definition for the issue. Taking it in next week but curious if anyone's run into this before and what the resolution was.

It wasn't so much about the temps, but early spring here is super wonky. It'll be in the 30s at night and early morning, then get like mid-80's during the day. But, I daily the car and will continue to do so in winter (expect when snow is on the ground), and some of the roads I drive on are less...

I just got my tires swapped out and now have a set of Sport Cup 2s (with 800 miles on them) looking for a new home. They are from the i4 Emira, so sizes are 245/35 ZR20 and 295/30 ZR20. They've only been used for street driving, so they are in pretty decent shape. They retail new for $2k, so...

If anyone is looking for a US vendor that isn't a total ripoff, I just got mine from AWD Motorsports via eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/194365645355 https://www.ebay.com/itm/196051481360 Just installed them today and they are a perfect fit. Drove about 20 miles so far and they are so much nicer...

I stand corrected. A friend of mine rode in the car and immediately asked why fake engine noise was being pumped into the cabin. I snipped the wire and drove it again and wow, what a difference. It's like an entirely different car. Gonna pay attention to the sound system more tomorrow and see if...

Honestly it's hard to tell. Even in tour mode there is a subtle vibration, but the whole car feels like that, not just the sub. I feel like unless I hear the car with the wire snipped, I'm not gonna know the difference. Next time I'm back there I'll play around with the green wire and see what...

T Great question. I'm still in my break-in period, so I haven't taken it out of tour mode yet. I haven't noticed any fake engine noise or rumbling on the sub yet. I did not snip any wires. For those who have noticed the fake noise, is it specific to a driving mode? I listen to bass heavy death...

You're welcome. The difference is noticeable. The stock system was literally unusable to me. I may eventually swap out the door speakers, but this was enough to make me actually happy with the system. The tweeters do raise the sound stage, but it definitely takes a little bit of time to get the...

For anyone looking for more information on how to add a sub, I just did it myself and made a tutorial video. Here is the link: @Wolfmayhem

That's interesting. I haven't taken it off tour mode yet, but for me it seems to happen most in 2nd gear. I'll have to see how it behaves once I'm in sport mode.

Doesn't sound like it. It's not revving or launching me forward, it just jostles back and forth essentially.

I've had my Emira for 3 days now and I'm experiencing a weird jerkiness, that's kind of hard to describe. At low speeds (below 20mph), I cannot drive the car smoothly. The car jostles forward and backwards, almost like someone was lightly tapping the brakes. Especially when to decelerating to a...

@Medic518 @marc1adrien Any chance you'd be willing to meet up and let me see the tan interior? I found an inventory Emira that I like with the tan.

How do you like the tan? I feel like I'd be fine with it if it was just the seats, but I worry that the dash strip would be too much to look at all the time.

That's a good point. I hadn't considered the wear. I'm curious how the alcantara interior holds up over time as well.

I'm trying to decide if I want to wait 7 months for a custom configuration just to get the Ice Grey interior, or just buy an inventory model at my local dealer. They didn't have any cars with Ice Grey and I would really like to see it in person. Are there any Emira owners in the area that would...

In case anyone was wondering or cared, I had my test drive today at the Lotus dealer in Rockville, MD. After all the back-and-forth in this thread about going from a Tesla to an Emira, I figured I’d share my first impressions. After my first loop on the roads around the dealership, which was...

My commute is quite twisty, but I have lots of options depending on traffic. I have FSD on my 3, and while I don't use it much, I do hate to give it up. A lot of people have made the case it may be worth while having both. I hadn't really considered the importance of having an AWD car available...

Glad to hear your perspective, especially since you have a Plaid. I imagine if the driving experience is as awesome as everyone says it is, the trade-offs will be less of a concern.

Hey everyone, First, I just want to say hi. New member, first time posting. I’m seriously considering the Emira and have a test drive scheduled for next weekend. For the past eight years, I’ve exclusively driven Teslas, so this would be my first gas-powered car in a long time. While I’ve...
