I got a white evora 400 4 months ago and I love it. The steering wheel is a disaster.. I have a leather and alcantara mix on mine. The leather is sticky and the alcantara is spongy and gross. I will be looking at replacing the steering wheel! I have the lowr end audio unit so this will also be replaced during winter. I noticed the limp mode is reset in 5 mins. Turn off the car and lock the doors, unlock and voila. I had a dirty maf sensor and it threw it in limp mode until I cleaned it.
Yes the new steering wheel makes the world of a difference I would highly recommend the company that I used. The carbon fiber steering wheel made the car a different car I can't tell you how much I love the steering wheel. The emira steering wheel is actually nicer but maybe they copied the new steps to the evora as well. I'm going to be putting a lot of carbon fiber on my Emira and we'll be making a new video soon
@@fnkdrspok7181 yes I debated on that my Emira has Alcantara seats because they just look better. While I don't like it and prefer suede it's the option I picked
This car is too old for you now that you have the Emira. Time to get rid of it... PM me (serious). Also, I'm confused as to why you have to send your car all the way down to Naples when you have a dealer in DC and Philly?
DC is a new so I emailed them to make an appointment. Guess they did not care for my business as they never responded. I am thinking of selling it but unsure. The evora seems to be more of a racer then emira.
@@v317865 I guess you're right! There is no way to do that. So you will need to send me an email at theclutch@outlook.com or I can send you a note via LinkedIn.
When you put the battery tender on, you can trigger the latch so it turns off the trunk light. Then reset it with the little latch in the side of the locking mechanism. Dealer showed me it the other day! 😉 Another thing is trying a LiFePo4 battery? I'm thinking of getting one. Its costly but people on LT seem to say it has eliminated or at least reduced the battery tending.

What I've been hearing when I called Lotus a couple of years ago. It really depends on the builder. I've had mine without a trickle charge for 2 months and it started right up. Also the light bulb and gas door are independent issues from builders on the vehicles. Thank goodness I haven't had problems besides the sub par brake switch that seems flimsy.
@@chugchug5657 wow, so you can have the battery last more than a week? Do you lock your car? I leave mine unlocked and on the charger. I wonder if locking the car would help
@@v317865 4-5 days that's nuts. My Evora has 0 draw issues thankfully. It can stay parked in the garage for weeks and start right up when i want it too. There has to be a fix for that. I did some searching for you on the lotus forums but there are tons of different suggestions for various issues. I will say, my cab lights stayed on once even after i closed the doors and walked away. I came back and hour or so later and noticed the dash and interior glow was still on. Maybe radio, amp or even the rear hatch lights you removed could be on when you leave the car. Might be worth the time to just run a multimeter on all the fuses to see if any are drawing power with the car off and key away from you. Wish you luck either way, just found your channel, glad to see some more lotus content on youtube. :)

If you lock the car, and press the lock button again quickly, car makes a beep. This disables the alarm and saves battery life
Had the same gas cap and trunk issues!
Gas cap still a pain. Trunk did seem to go away with a little oil.
I have the GRP+Milltek+Eventuri combo on my Emira and love it. I'm sure you will too!
Any videos?
I specced out an Emira with all leather because I didn't want to deal with the alcantara dirtyness.

I am sure people will get a laugh but I don't know how to pm on TH-cam. Can you pm me and I will respond

Great car, perfect choice!
Love the car.

Nice! Where did you get the steering wheel?…looks great!

Did you keep the original steering wheel that came with the car?. I just purchased a 2021 Evora GT this week.
Yes, 100% keeping the OEM parts. The next owner may want to them. New parts are much nicer.
Why are you putting more CF when you're going to sell it?
Not sure what I will do. The emira had it and it looked so good. I wanted the evora to be as nice.
How long does it take for the battery to die without a trickle charge?
4-5 days. Just got a new battery as well so its part of the Evora design :)
