      Trash lotus can't drive safely in a straight line. It's heavy so it should have decent downforce. How pathetic.

      @@fakamada The difference with MG is nobody except car enthusiasts remember MG - they were out of production for 20 years, and in most markets, you couldn't even buy one for the last 40 years, and they had been junk for longer than that. Also the Chinese MG's are actually really good value for money. Lotus is a performance icon, now Geeley has bought it so they can use it to sell overpriced & under-developed Chinese junk to western idiots. Pretty clear from how messed up this car was the entire way through the racing that it is based on a Geeley platform and Geeley electronics that aren't suitable for a performance car.
      Good for them if it works though - a fool and their money as they say.

      no, it's just stability program off. So no braking when you spin out. With stability on, you get some braking on the sides to get you in track. Would you send full power to all motors on a slippy street you would have wheelspin all over the track.

      Bro if audi made a 900hp electric suv it would destroy this easily. I mean look at the taycan GT it would destroy this with less power and a proper launch.

    How I imagine the conversation about the stability control feature goes like:
    Driver: "Lets turn off stability control."
    Lotus: "Are you sure you want it off?"
    Driver: "Yes."
    Lotus: " OK! It's off!!"
    Driver: *Launches car and almost crash* "THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANTED!! I NEED A LITTLE STABILITY CONTROL!!!"
    Lotus: "Nah mate! You wanted it OFF, you have it totally OFF! No take back!"

      @@The-Celestial No, it's not - not for the Eletre R anyway. They might do a bit of suspension tuning, but the platform is the Geeley SEA architecture - it's 100% Chinese designed and manufactured. Geeley try to pretend the architecture was designed in conjunction with their Swedish "subsidiary", Volvo - but that's just more spin - it's 100% Chinese - it just made financial sense to do it that way.
      Geeley are in the business of buying previously prestigious names and using them to over-charge for Chinese quality vehicles. If you are happy paying European prices for Chinese products, then no problem and all good for you. I mean, lets face it, Chinese stuff is probably better than European stuff at this point - but you can also get Chinese stuff much cheaper if you don't buy it with the fake European badge slapped on it.

But check out plenty of RUclips videos featuring 4 or 5 year old Teslas, comparing them to brand new Teslas, and there is a huge drop off in build quality, fit & finish, etc. Talk to anyone whose owned one longer than a lease and they'll tell you: only lease these things. Just like Land Rover, they basically fall apart as soon as the warranty expires.
