Terrible for those waiting forever to get their car Good for those that received their car Value should hold up and long term is even better Probably price goes up

Great outing on the back roads near Oklahoma. Appreciate being invited by McLaren Dallas to test out if the Emira could hang with the big boys, and in my opinion (and my wife confirmed in the passenger seat), the Lotus did NOT disappoint! It was the only stick shift, had less power but had...

Yes very happy. I got it in the summer, saved the dash and heat. No issues and can’t tell it is on, but I think of it this way if you’re planning to keep the car for many years, then it’s worth the investment. I think I plan to keep mine forever, so 20 or 30 years of having the sun beat on the...

Nice congrats. Got ceramic as keeps out heat I did 70% on front windshield (yes front) to protect dash and in state of Texas is legal. Did legal tint I think 30% on driver and passenger side. You could go darker to 20% if you want it to match the 2 small back windows but risk having to take...

Then the same problem as mine Alternator I bet Now about half a dozen or more with same issue it seems

It is there, just not in red, but a thin black loop. On drivers side. Pull straight out

Mine was the alternator but everything including the car died while driving (posted in another thread) Sounds like you could drive https://www.emiraforum.com/threads/lotus-emira-battery-dies-while-driving-or-can-it-be-the-alternator.5076/

Sorry you are going through this, I was shocked when it happened to me and then later happened again , (not as bad) but I think they learned what the issue was and have had conference calls with other centers to educate the techs on the issue. I believe my car was the guinea pig, and many of the...

Anyone encounter this when they are on cruise control? (I have only used it twice as I like to drive the manual, but was cruising in touring trying to get my mpg to 20 mpg and failed 🤣) The dash speedometer shows one speed while google maps shows usually 2 to 4 mph less. Depends on speed...

Great report, thank you for sharing MPG < 20 on average Seems UK people are light foots and we are lead foots 🤣

That is my problem I like the sound of the lower gear in sport or track mode so I deserve a lower mpg, but I will try your way for a little bit to see a 20 mpg 🤣 once

I definitely have the worst gas mileage of the group I am starting to think I don’t know how to drive a manual 🤔

How the F*** are you doing that Even when I try to drive slow and shift easy and keep RPM’s under 3500, got average 17.5 mpg I must have a gas leak or heavy foot 🤣…I pick the 🦶

I get 14 to 16 miles per gallon. Anyone getting over that is not enjoying their car 🤣 & living life! This is a combination of 60% freeway and 40% streets

What is this sound coming from the engine Bay Area? First time I have heard this sound after driving about 20 miles (usual routine a couple times per week), normal driving (well mostly in track mode, took rpm up to 5-6k a couple of times, with 15 miles freeway stop and go and 5 miles in...

Could any of this or anyone in the thread comment on if this is an alternator issue? Reason I asked this question is because my alternator went out and my car died while driving. Look at my original post from before from 2-3 weeks ago. The summary is we were fitted with 150 amp alternator, as...

Well, I was surprised by the reveal on 9.16.24 of the Theory 1 by Lotus. Obviously a concept car. Thoughts? Who really thinks this will become a production car? Since they started the name with a “T” in theory, doubt it gets produced as all cars historically start with an “E”. Maybe they will...

Silly question, but was cleaning my Emira and noticed the rotors are NOT completely round. Can someone explain this to me from a physics standpoint (or like I was in 7th grade)?

I did not know this so thanks for sharing 🙌

Missed some of you at Lotus Dallas today

Glad you got a pic 🤝

Yeah Gio is the man! He ordered it Monday morning. It is a Toyota part as someone mentioned so easier to get quickly as opposed to a Lotus part which has to come from Hethel

So Lotus Dallas said they have the car ready to go! What a quick turnaround- in 2 days. Have to admit they were on top of this on Monday morning and ordered the part and have it running. Thanks to Gio 🙏 Alternator and battery replaced.

I don’t think so unless you remove the back bay and open up the engine compartment. See pics. My advice would be after a 1,000 miles break in, drive the car hard. Also don’t put on battery tender and let it sit for a few days without driving (like 3-4 days), and rinse and repeat. I would...

Alternator malfunction From what I gathered it was a low voltage or amp alternator (140-150) that was likely on the early versions and the newer cars coming with a 180 or 200 A. Will be getting the upgraded alternator

We should enter the monthly contest or start a thread for the best tow truck pics 🤣
