"Complicate, then add heaviness" -Lotus, probably

[onefacex]

Doug is the type of guy who brings a ruler to bed to see how long he sleeps.

[MQZ]

It was either this or dying. They didnt half-assed is, seems like a legit, well thought out vehicle. If it helps them to continue making their usual sports cars, more power to them.

[tayzonday]

That sun roof looks like it costs $75, 000 to replace.

[sgavy]

As a car, I dont hate it.... As a lotus; I despise it.

[toyama__tokanawa]

4:10 futureproof means: it was so buggy we had to turn it off. Will fix it in future.. maybe

[jamesmurmurzancone]

Doug the kind of guy who says, Make yourself at home and then proceeds to tell you what you can and can't use or touch.

[carypyke]

That wirring sound is Colin Chapman spinning in his grave..

[mushroom]

6:33 "You can change in an instant whether you can see thru it, or whether its totally clear."

Ah, so it does nothing 😂😂

[backroadbeetle]

Random Chinese Company "hey can we use your name, you don't have to do anything though."

[sageyowns]

those front triangle flaps look like they would disintegrate within seconds of being driven in any bad weather whatsoever

[DigiLab]

In short....the Chinese didn't buy the Lotus company; they bought the Lotus brand and transferred it to their own company to slap it on their Chinese cars.

[papasquat]

God, I hope the age of the SUV will come to an end soon.

[spinxings]

As much as I hate it, I can't say it doesn't make sense in today's market. But it certainly hurts seeing yet another performance brand go down this path.

[GriffinJeffers-wonw]

I hate it, it’s against all of lotus’s rules

[GearboxEnt]

There are two USB-C ports in the back, on the front edge of the middle seat bottom in the 5-seater. In doubt, perhaps read the manual... It takes seconds to find it online.

[MrGabrieleferrini]

I think most of you making comments did ever try this car seriously. It handles better than any ev in the market, it is impressively top quality finishing in any details. I perfectly understand this is not a lotus in the proper heritage but it is for sure the best suv in its class beating for sure Cayenne, Urus Q8 ( all the same chassis ) and taking the spot to Ferrari Purosangue with 1/4 of the price. But changes are never been accepted easily .
I drive BMW IX, and Ferrari daily by the way. That’s way I am so impressed by Eletre.

[chrishoare]

The rear passenger usb charging sockets are on the under/ on the front edge of the middle seat

[gemaskerdebeuker]

20:49 That depends on what colour you choose to get. The yellow logo is also available still.

[mcmoose]

My first thought when i saw the thumbnail, "so when did the Chinese buy Lotus ?".
