Lotus Emeya S extended test drive

[@Highlander247]

Please keep doing the range tests it helps new buyers see what the cars can actually do from a non bias tester

[@stijndeklerk]

I like how you are showcasing Thailand from a road perspective too in these video's. I takes me back.

[@jenskoning7687]

Amazing dedication to your vids and data on EVs Bjørn!

[@Apemania69]

I sat in one. Gonna say it felt very very good, it looks and haptics are amazing and price is still ok for what you get. Love the side profile of the car

"Unless you sit like a Toyota driver" hahah :D

[@BCBoatsAndCanoes]

Thanks again !

[@michaelleiper]

I do want to see the Denza. Saw one on the road today in Hong Kong. Looks a lot like an Alphard. There is a hybrid in China, but the only one in Thailand is the full electric because of the import duties on anything with an engine.

[@CheddarKungPao]

Hey Bjorn your artist playlist link is broken. Just an FYI. Thanks for all the great videos including this one.

[@janissaryone1906]

While I like the Emeya, at its' price point, I don't know if I'll risk getting it. If I need service, where would I go to get it fixed, the closest one is 200 miles away at a tiny shared Jag/Bentley/Range Rover/Lotus dealer which don't give me a lot of confidence in their service.

[@kaymio6547]

When will you review the Kia EV3?

[@fadhil1811]

wow..premium car.

[@gheorghiualex]

Please dont skip range test. You can only do the 120 as part of another video if you dont get many views but please dont skip it fully

I remember when Lotus used to make small lightweight sports cars!

[@waichungsham1578]

then they went bankrupt

I've heard in a video, Lotus said it would be permanent AWD, it could explain the consumption too ...

[@annoyingspore]

Damn look at the black ice at 16C!!

[@annoyingspore]

No it seems LEDs should have voltage converted to low DC. Unless just done cheaply with spikes and drops should be constant output.

Cars onboard chargers are better than the public chargers we get

Schönes Auto 😜

[@taskelam8937]

No screen in a vehicle should have PWM backlight control. They should have flicker-free listed as a feature just like in displays.

[@TurtlesandStuff.]

Not really sure this car follows Lotus' ethos of simplify and add lightness. Probably why actual Lotus in the UK had barely any involvement in them. But then why call it a Lotus in that case?

[@RangKlos]

because it was bought?

[@sandancer5382]

Me wants it too!

[@guillaumegras2200]

Every electric car tested today: it's got some very big wheels that hurt range. It's also got a glass roof that has zero thermal insulation so you need to use more AC, hurting range further ... can we all agree that glass roofs are plain stupid ?

[@michaelleiper]

In Thailand - yes. And this is winter, so the AC isn't really turned up that far.

[@swecreations]

AC/heating doesn't really use *that* much energy in modern EVs. Modern heat pumps are very efficient. Completely agree with the wheels though, that's definitely not helping efficiency.

[@visionmodernclassics]

Its also pain stupid that most EVs have retractable door handles. Big safety issue in my eyes in an fire or crash event. I remember journalist complain about Opel using all over their models , folding door handle where as most competitors implement bar door handle. Nower days who care what was Said and evaluated 20 years ago I hope OEMs concentrate on the core values and don’t copy Tesla in every way just do be on the Safe Side not to do something wrong

[@moestrei]

It adds color to the world of EVs. Blinker chime sounds like Hyundai.

[@mertcalc3259]

That's why Jaguar said "create exuberant" and "live vivid"

[@moestrei]

@mertcalc3259 Jaguar? RIP.

[@ericvet8b]

Nice looking car, interior looks good although still Chinese UI glitches, etc… but that efficiency is so poor!! At that temperature and speeds, it should be so much less. Disappointing really (many places you can’t get 350kw chargers yet or not too many). Will really be interesting to 1000km challenge in Norway/Sweden. Note: must be so frustrating to drive in Thailand… 😮

[@gsh-69]

Its 5m sports car efficiecy is least of concern

[@UgglemannenFTW]

It did charge the best in a big test in Norway recently. Besides this cars selling point isnt about being efficient. Alot of other factors when choosing a car.

[@ericvet8b]

@@UgglemannenFTW true. But efficiency can be worked and especially in sports cars, as if more efficient? Could have done with maybe 10-20kwh smaller battery, less weight, more sporty, etc… so it depends how you look at it 😉

Here the effiency is alot higher though..but if u can afford this car, u also can afford a little higher electricity bills..its not that much
