Just left the Saint Louis dealership. They have ALL of their Emiras indoors and hooked up to battery tenders.

How many did they have? Colours?

Hooked up to the complementary tender?

So odd that we consider this like a “benefit”. Like “oh the dealer is doing so good by us keeping them plugged in”…

My buddy saw my Evora. He’s like “is that like a Tesla?” I was like “no, not at all, why?”

He’s like “you always have to plug it in but it’s a gas car?”

I’m like “it’s a Lotus”… I had no other explanation and still really don’t.

Are there other brands that (all but require) recommend a full time tender?

Or an $800 battery replacement.

People getting LiPO batteries as an alternative to the weight and the unreliability of the current battery.

Any car that does not get driven daily will eventually need a tender. I have had a tender on family vans that only get driven on the weekends, and 2nd cars that are driven 1-2 times a week.

I drive my Miat once a week. It's never had issues. We have reports on here of dead batteries inside of a week.

I kept a tender on all of my Porsches, if you leave them for a week or more you will have issues. Worst thing you can do is leave a Porsche unlocked - battery will drain quick. I had a 1991 Miata as a daily driver - original battery lasted 8 years. The Miata did not have anything electronic and a sealed gel battery.

I've heard of McLaren charging ~$4-8k for a battery replacement! Here's an example.

I'm not sure of total number. Probably like 16 cars. I saw DV, Nimbus, Shadow, Hethel Yellow, Seneca and Mist White.

Yes, my salesperson said that every US car comes with a tender.

Stopped at Naples today to check out the colors and my salesman said they got a few extra FE2.0 allocations and I can jump up to that instead of a base car if I wanted. So I did. Planning on Osmium or Zinc with black wheels, full black pack, white interior, unsure about caliper color though. I have till Monday to decide.

Here are a few pics while I was there. Saw a zinc with black wheels, re calipers, full black pack and white interior. That's really the only reason I'm considering that color combo. But I was never a huge fan of that color as it's basically nardo grey on an Audi.

Also for anyone that wants to see Seneca with and without privacy glass next to each other here is a Pic of that side by side.

Here's another option: Light tint on the non privacy glass version.

Wow. I saw mine today so I know it's right, but if they had screwed it up I would have been very hard pressed not to ask them to make it right. To me seeing the engine is a part of the design I really like.

I actually really want privacy glass. I think it looks weird with no privacy with the black roof.

Same, I would have ended up tinting it without the privacy glass I think and then it would be a film tint right on top of the engine — seems like it might fail early.
