Yeah, just hoping to get some sort of initial gauge on the situation but might not pan out that way! Maybe it was like this for the evora launch too, just really seems like they don't have their ducks in a row, even less than I anticipated. It isnt so much the frequency of issues, it is the variety. I think I expected a big wave of the same electrical issues that would get sorted out, but I have seen a barrage of random issues all over the board. Doesnt make me feel like there is a focus on known issues, but that anything could fail at any point and the quality control means nothing.You're right, these polls won't accurately gauge new owner downtime. Even if someone votes "no issues" they'd have to come back and change their vote if/when something does happen. That might not happen.
FWIW, I've been spending time on the McLaren forums lately and it seems new Lotus owners aren't the only ones experiencing ECU faults resulting in limp mode and extended down times:
Artura broke after two miles.
Maybe it's a British thing. 🤭
That is the only issue that I have had too
I haven´t experienced this issue yet 😜
My recent personal experience with BMW, Porsche and Land Rover related to solving warranty problems is much better. Hope to drive my car this summer, although only 6 months till next winter.
So about a month due to actual issues? Still, a lot of time.6 months for me. Did 1 k. trouble free miles (except wiper issue) last year, then stored for 5 months in winter which obviusly is not car's fault and now already over month waiting when electronical issues will be fixed which occured during first drive this year. Still no info whats the problem and when it will be solved ? Would I know this, it would not be much stress for me. Have other cars and can wait. But Lotus is not doing this well unfortunately.
Did you leave the car on a battery maintainer? Which one?6 months for me.

I guess they should've bought an NSX - probably FAR more reliable but without dihedral doors.You're right, these polls won't accurately gauge new owner downtime. Even if someone votes "no issues" they'd have to come back and change their vote if/when something does happen. That might not happen.

Do you have any electrical problems like ESP, ABS, EML or handbrake service?
Were are you from?
