      Lotus or Chinese Geely? China are slowly hollowing out western companies and jobs. They cannot get traction with their own brands so they use western brands against us. This hollowing out will eventually empty out every single sector as they move all industries in house to China. Lotus knowledge will be sucked out and moved to China. The staff in the UK will be used and tossed aside. By buying a Chinese car, unlike any other purchase, you are directly supporting a Chinese Communist Party owned company. All car companies in China are directly or indirectly owned by the CCP. You are supporting CCP design, technology, and engineering. China are a self proclaimed enemy of western democracy and free people, that may sound like hyperbole but it is manifestly true. They are a communist/totalitarian regime. Partnership is not a part of their thinking process. It is the cover they use to slowly dismember western economies. They do not want partnership they want control and ownership. This is and will increasingly bleed in to political control and eventually erosion of western freedoms. China simply cannot allow freedom of thought or speech, it is not only antithetical but an existential threat to their regime. They need to extinguish freedom in as many places as possible. It is an innate need for all empires/civilisations to spread their model.
      We are walking ourselves in to totalitarian control. If you think it seems too far fetched then you need to think deeper and harder. If you think this process will be benign, you are wrong. China will slowly tighten their grip on democracy, it is already starting to happen, they constantly require other nations to limit their speech. On the current course, in the not too distant future, your government will be controlled by China, directly or indirectly, you will not be allowed to change your government, and your government will impose every single decision handed down by China. You will not be able to protest or question these decisions. You and your children will grow up without any freedom for the rest of your/their lives.
      As one example China forcibly sterilised and aborted their own women in the 80's, dragged them in to horrific surgeries, now the Uyghurs are being subjected to the same treatment.

    Great review! One thing I think the real world drivers will notice are the two white pillows on the dashboard, making it hard to look at the road or maybe even risk being blinded by the sun reflecting in those cushions. On the other hand, might not need in-built air-bags… Maybe not a good combination with a car doing 0-60 in less than 3 seconds.

    So with 800v charging is Matte Rimmac’s team behind the technology and drive train? If it can charge at 350kW and charge up in 18 minutes. If ever we see 800kW charging then less than 10 minutes to charge would be incredible! Might make your hair stand on end though!
    Lotus doesn’t have any experience with electronics, they are simple engineering and dynamics. So if you do buy one who is going to look after it? Very important question.
    How can such a big car have such small boot? 400 litres from 5.1m?
    However, there is no doubt that this car has incredible design both inside and out. So well done Lotus and Geely. Looks amazing!

      Advantage with eBikes is you can use cycle lanes, and parks etc. Also you don't need registration/insurance etc. Advantage with moped possibly faster and more comfortable, and maybe safer if you are forced to use roads, because people treat you like a motorbike (with more respect/less overtaking).

    Great looking SUV but ...
    It's too big for me. My Range Rover is already bigger than I would prefer to drive. Lotus have done well to get the weight down to "around two tonnes(?)", or 4000 Kg, so it's certainly much lighter than my Range Rover too. Impressive. But, again, ...
    Chapman's philosophy of "simplicate and add lightness" is seriously undermined. Weight, pretty good considering, but 'simplicate'?..The biggest problem with my Range Rover is the complexity that adds unreliability. Today's electronics are far better than those used by BMW when they built my Rover but even the mechanical parts are very complex. Service here in the USA may be the cars biggest exposure. I'm sure ACBC would find it hard to accept "complicate and add batteries", as do I.
    I love the camera's that replace the door mirrors. I installed some on my Monaco coach RV some years ago and they are infinitely better than bloody great door sized mirrors that obstruct forward vision but cannot reveal the moronic car drivers that stupidly 'hide' in the blind spots. I'm restomodding a 1970 Lotus Europa and will be installing side rear view cameras similar to those on the Teslas. Rear view from the S1 and S2 Europa's was infamously challenging anyway with the high buttress rear quarters so it's logical. I'll be glad to remove the useless side mirrors as soon as the USA becomes enlightened that cameras are better and just as reliable.
    I look forward to a review of the de-contented models that replace the vulnerable carbon fiber body panels with 'tupperware'. remove some complexity to reduce the weight further to compensate for the more durable 'tupperware', install 20" rims and get the price below $100,000. Then I would seriously consider one over the impending Rover EVs even if the range were reduced to 250 miles per charge.

    Nice looking car but the lack of physical buttons is a huge turn off as always.

    those holes in the back is really bad idea... imagine dirt and debris will be tossed into it !!!

    2 tonne and has air ducts to grab all the road grit and sand your paint down.. Nice 👍 your measurements are from the furthest point of the trim that's not usable. Clever lol. Cameras in place of mirrors, unessasary and is hardly helping what they were deigned for... Carbon zero, but making circuits more plastic and components to have cameras instead kinda defeats what I thought they were about?.

    The mic sounds so bad, did you stuff it in your hoddie or something?

    Something really bothers me with this design. Those massive holes behind the wheels, with no screen? You're going to end up with rocks and other debris smashing down the side of the vehicle as they come out those holes and it's going to leave unsightly marks on your vehicle... Other than that, I love the vehicle. But they seriously need to address this.
