I have something similar. It’s clearly a fan of some kind hitting something in the front area of the car. But it is only present when cold starting and is inconsistent. Also seems to disappear pretty quickly, so really minor. But clearly it’s not right. It’s just not a huge deal. I would still like it fixed as I’m sure it’s something simple like torquing something down correctly.Many members are surprisingly having issues with their air conditioning. Reading through their experiences makes me feel fortunate that my car's problem seems minor in comparison.
My A/C started vibrating when it's on at complete stop, regardless of the A/C speed. Initially, the whole car vibrated more than usual, so I thought it might be normal. However, at one point, I heard what sounded like a fan hitting plastic near the odometer. I took the car to the dealer, but they couldn't find anything wrong, so I had to pick it up three days later without any repairs done. When I picked it up, I showed the service supervisor the issue, and he acknowledged the sudden vibration after turning on the A/C. He said he would get back to me, but it's been two weeks and I haven't received a call yet.
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue as I am? It's frustrating to have such a problem in a car that costs over $100K.
Not as sad as you’ll be when you actually see it:

A sheet of rubber stuffed up under the screen.
Complete with a channel to collect water.
And if access is required to the fusebox it’ll have to be dragged out and stuffed back in afterwards.
I didn’t like the look of it so tidied mine up:

It's the same issue. AC electrical box and or resistor is fried / shorted by water ingress. It can block control of the direction control motors inside of the dash. New & sealed electrics will fix it.I have an A/C issue that doesn't seem covered anywhere: My A/C only blows in "defrost" mode - it only blows onto the windshield. My car has been at the dealer for over a week while they wait for Lotus to "get back to them" - Has anyone else had this issue and has it been resolved?

Mine were stuck blowing to the feet and additionally blew exclusively hot air. Car basically wasn’t drivable due to the heat in the cabin![]()
Uh it’s a little late for that, but one could have pulled the fuse on the fans, flap actuators, etc.We had the exact same problem, actually the car is really not drivable but we had to do it. Happenend in Scotland on the way back to Munich. No dealer could help. "I can you book in in 4 weeks was the main answer."
So we drove more than 2000 km in that condition. Open window, closed window, jacket on jacket off, as the car decided when you got frozen or bbqed.
My wife and myself got sick with aching throat, coughing etc.
On the last leg of the return trip we passed by the dealer I bought the Emira. His answer, you can leave the car here.
We did not leave it behind as we made already 1600 km in that condition, so we decided we can handle the last 400 km as well.
Conclusion: On a 2000 km distance through whole Europe not one single dealer was helping, means if your car is not drivable you have to end your journey and trailer it home. No other solution, sad but fact.
Cars been in the shop for 2 weeks. I knew Lotus service was terrible - I just wasn't fully prepared - or didn't want to believe - it could be this bad. I'm told it might be a month, because well, "its Lotus".It's the same issue. AC electrical box and or resistor is fried / shorted by water ingress.
