Is that like the "first completed customer Emira" Matt Windle stood in front of on 10 June?

Chinese manufacture better than the European dream? (and even the brexit liberated UK?)

 

[Hedge]

Isn’t the Eletre just the Geeley SUV with a Lotus badge and some tweaks?

 

[DJS]

It’s already been delivered to London lol

 

[Leonard]

It looks well out on the street

Hang on if you watch the video they end up putting it back in the truck must be parts missing

It is a nice looker for an EV SUV. A few mates have deposits down. Sadly, im not in the market for a 5 seat SUV.

It’s only got 4 seats

Oh. I have even less use for that!

 

[TomE]

There are different variants. One has a moveable/foldable rear seat and one doesn’t. Think there are 4 and 5 seats versions, maybe linked to that feature.

I cancelled my Eletre deposit and am waiting for details of the mid-size Type 134.

Communication from Lotus at last…..

Look what just dropped through the door from Lotus.

All about Eletre I know, but a few Emira pics inside and what looks like a lengthy read.

Could be.

It must be like the Seneca Blue Hethel launch car and UK dealer tour car, looks complete, but not a working AMG engine with a row of batteries in the boot to get it on and off the trailer to go to the next dealer. Pity Matt is not standing in front of it to add a bit of consistency to the look.

It seems strange that a car that is so big has only got 4 seats. When much smaller people carriers have 7 seats with 3 rows of seats.

Thats what I call clever packaging.

Yes, completed car, with only a few parts missing.

Presumably for the Eletre show car it’s missing the electric motors and batteries, so is moved around by a small internal combustion engine?

Bravo

Or maybe not production spec batteries ie less power/less range. Or perhaps we will wake up one morning and find this electric nonsense has all been a bad dream. Normal service has been resumed, with the government realising their mistake with this issue.
