This is Lotus we are talking about....I'm still trying to fathom how they roll their software out, but I'm sure the Asia markets will have it months before the rest of us lol

Haha good point, well made.

No reason it shouldn’t be should it?  It’s only a projection and all in software what’s displayed…..?

There might be an issue with the resolution of the HUD, but other than that I see no reason why not - it is just down to what resource they will continue to commit to improving the Eletre software.

Saw my first one in the flesh today. Nearly walked right past it, it was Charging o the Perth Road in Dundee.

Yup, it's bloody huge but sorry, my jaw didn't drop. My eyes didn't pop out. My mouth didn't gasp or lips drool. My heart didn't race or iss a beat.

To be honest, I get a better reaction from my senses when I see a Kia EV6 which to me is the best looking large EV, though the EV9 is also striking, but in a Bjork as opposed to a Julia Roberts kind of way.

As Duncan used to say, "Thank You, but I'm oot!"

Piccie of car

I'd imagine every 911 owner said the same when they saw the Cheyenne but it pays the bills and keeps the lights on.

Interestingly (or maybe not), our booth was next to the DJI booth at NAB in Vegas last week.

They have a Yellow Eletre being chased by a drone in one of their show reels.

Looked pretty bloody good.  Going to see if I can track down the footage.

Genuinely first time I had seen one. It's just a big slab of a thing.

@C8RKH we regularly drive down to Southampton, we are 30 miles away from one Lotus dealer and 60 miles from another Lotus dealer; and we haven’t seen another on the road. 
We took our Eletre to a local Club Lotus meeting recently as a number of members said they would like to see one.

You’re not alone. To quote a saying from X Files

I'd quite like to be alone with the wonderful Gillian Anderson for a weekend. That would be an X file!

We'd chat a lot. Drink tea. Have a laugh, etc....

Popped into Lotus Silverstone today.  I counted 14 new Eletres parked outside and there were more inside. The whole forecourt parking area was choc a bloc with Lotus and Subaru cars.

[C8RKH]

So were these already registered with a confirmed customer, or pre registered and available (to count as SOLD for Lotus) ?

No idea. They didn’t interest me enough to ask!
