Yes it’s subjective. But I really dislike the laptop screen stuck on the dash. Interesting car though.

[@davidnarbett]

i followed one yesterday on the M4 from Berkshire to Bristol - bright green - driven by a slightly smug woman who sat in the middle lane most of the time - but that was ok coz i just kept going round her looking at this 'space ship from another planet' (had a similar experience 5 years ago with the Jaguar iPace) - it was captivating and has brought me here - and I plan to visit the showroom opposite the Ritz - bypass the Millenials in Lotus jumpsuits and get a feel for this £100,000+ potential next car

[@msm4445]

Gorgeous car, it’s just much more beautiful to see in real with it’s true dimensions. On photos and videos, it’s not very photogenic

[@jamesl.o.h.6000]

I saw this car on the road too and agree that it looks many times better than on video. This car really turned my head.:)

[@msm4445]

For the platform, Lotus doesn’t share it’s platform with any Geely product. The Eletre has it’s own platform called the Electric Premium Architecture (EPA), which is different from other Geely products’ platform called the Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA). Apparently the SEA was not sporty enough to be put in a Lotus.

I think the S is the sweet spot in the Eletre lineup. Looks like a winner.

[@MrDead1975]

that entry "S" model has had a huge wedge of expensive options added e.g the interior, wing mirror cameras, sound system, active aero, wheels etc

[@Sam-tx1tn]

Active aero is standard

[@nabz0008]

I cannot wait to see one on the British roads.

[@jamiep61]

In May I sat In a Lotus Eletre at the Fully Charged Show UK North In Harrogate 😊

[@Steve-gc5nt]

And?

[@Hifimusicman]

As a huge fan of Lotus cars I unsurprisingly have to say that the fact that it wears a Lotus badge does not change the fact that this is NOT a Lotus! I have no desire to drive this but really want to get behind the wheel of an Emira which is a Lotus.

[@philipc239]

This or the Taycan?

[@msm4445]

This

[@phillyphil1513]

A: Taycan. this thing weighs nearly 6000lbs. while the Porsche is no lightweight, however when you race and win at Lemans for 50+ years, you learn things (that others won't) about how to properly spec brakes needed to repeatedly slow vehicles down from 200mph.

[@msm4445]

@@phillyphil1513 the Eletre brakes better than a Taycan. This video Eletre R versus Taycan GTS prouves what I said: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp3KaIuLiM2KidEsi=BiUQ5jWn4W1KQeTr

[@Flugs0]

The Eletre is better

[@cbotten106]

Eletre, although the refresh on the Taycan might change that.

[@MeYou-yz2yz]

Nooooooo!

[@Aladinscave]

Looks like they copied the Lambo urus ? This is also not a lotus its just another electric shit box …….

[@Flugs0]

stop crying

[@alancornelioussnr5386]

WELLHI JAMES, , YORKIE nice car , great information, BUT SORRY , LAMBORGHINI , OR RR ! , CVG CARS ? THAT ME , REGARDS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 🖐 TO YOUR DAD CU JAMES MATE
