What things annoy you on Emira?

[crashprash]

Auto hold for v6 manual on tour mode
360 camera system
Auto blip (1 less thing to worry about on track) - can be added aftermarket now
touch sensitive steering wheel buttons and round wheel - aftermarket fix available
Oil temp and pressure gauges
Baffled oil pan - aftermarket available
Bit more spacing between clutch and brake pedals

 

[NJemira85]

No oil temp gauge or sensor

Dash data imaginary

No rear axle steering … yet @mr.suntorytime

The center console electronics are slow to respond. You have to wait for it to change drive modes. Wait for it to switch back to CarPlay.

Also the emira doesn’t like variation. It likes to be unlocked started, stoped and then locked. Whenever I do something like leave it unlocked for awhile, things just don’t behave properly.

But like a supermodel you deal with it and enjoy the ride.

The original OP video mentions only 2 speakers in the car (one each door). Another poster on this thread said there are 2 in the back. There are actually 3 in the back. See photos: in N. American vehicles (left hand drive) there are 2 on the rear passenger side and one on the rear driver side.




When it comes to the Emira not having options other new cars do, Lotus departed from its usual spartan design to add the ones it has, sacrificing weight in the process which ++ irked some of the die-hard Lotus crowd. I enjoy the options it has, which IMO helps achieve their goal of a daily driver/track combo vehicle, while still maintaining much of the Lotus “driver feel”. Sure I miss a few, but being more of a “glass-half-full” kind of person, I’ll continue to love my daily driver experience.

It can.

Thank you, I tried pulling with more force and surprise, indeed it worked. See, this is why I’m here, to learn.

Mine sits unlocked in the garage all the time but I've not noticed anything unusual. What does yours do?

CarPlay likes to connect right after unlocking. Otherwise it’s usually a manual affair.

Today I was on a teams call and then tried to transition to the emira. CarPlay loaded just fine but no audio. Then I couldn’t disconnect CarPlay and the teams meeting continued even though I ended the teams call. I hope it will work fine when I return to my car later.

I should have known better. I expected too much. Transitioning a live call to CarPlay? What was I thinking.

Mine stays connected to my phone and plays my music inside the car, unless the Emira is locked.

If you wait, the car will turn itself off including the rear and interior lights.

Is this what you are after?

From the manual:

Keyfob Buttons
Locking: Pressing the button locks
both doors, tailgate and fuel filler
flap. The alarm is also armed, see
page 56.
Press and hold to close all door
windows simultaneously.
Unlocking: Pressing the button
unlocks the doors, tailgate and
fuel filler flap. The alarm is also
deactivated, see page 57.
A longer press opens all door
windows simultaneously.

The press and hold to lower / raise the windows has never worked on mine. It’s due to go in to have it rectified

Let us know if they activate it but USA cars didn't get that.

It would be interesting to know how they resolve this, i.e. is it software or hardware they change or update and is it something the USA cars can have done.
