I am the exact target group for the Eletre as we were looking to replace our 9 yo Model X. However, to me, the Eletre didn’t look great, didn’t seem much like a “Lotus”, and is too expensive. However the absolute deal breaker is that in my 13+ EV experience, 1st gen models have a lot of problems and I want to have a perfect experience when I have to deal with those. I don’t trust Lotus China to get it right the first time and reviews confirmed my fears.
We got a Macan EV.

Without the 100% Chinese ev tariff, it wouldn’t be too bad of a price, but with it, it’s just not worth it in the US at least
