2025 Lotus Eletre - First Impressions of Lotus' First EV SUV
In this video I share my first impressions of the 2025 Lotus Eletre after test driving it, while walking around it. I am a Lotus (2020 Lotus Evora GT) and EV (2021 Tesla Model S Plaid) owner. I appreciate Lotus’ design and engineering philosophy and also the practicality of an EV as a daily driver. I look forward to seeing the Emeya in person.

    • @TheLifeofJoeLee
      @TheLifeofJoeLee วันที่ผ่านมา

      I ended up keeping the M2 because I like RWD more, the additional power that the M2 offered over the CTR, the more aggressive sound, and the better tech. CTR mark ups have pretty much gone away so the price difference is a factor. I think the M2 is worth the price difference, but that doesn't take away from how good the CTR is for its MSRP. I still like the CTR but I don't have a place for it in my garage. Which car do you like better?

    • @JohnWick-d7g
      @JohnWick-d7g วันที่ผ่านมา

      @ I went with the Type R. Found one at MSRP just recently . With any mark up on the Type R, M2 would be an easier choice. I had M3. Loved it. The issue with BMWs is how quickly they lose value versus cars like Type R. My M3 lost like 30 percent in just few years. However, M2 is better in every way hence substantial MSRP difference. But Type R feels more special which is why I think it retains its value and most dealers can still get away with marking them up.

    • @TheLifeofJoeLee
      @TheLifeofJoeLee 17 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Great to hear about your Type R! I should have added that the M2 was not my daily driver so practicality was not a priority. The FL5 is more practical than the G87. I think my review will be relevant again when G87 M2 prices drop into the $40k range as that will probably be the floor for the FL5.

    How do you feel about the overall build quality? I currently have a bmw X3M competition and I’m really happy with the build quality of the car. The paint, panel gaps, interior, etc. I’m most likely going to get a model s plaid but I’m worried about the stereotype that teslas have in regard to build quality and attention to detail.

    • @TheLifeofJoeLee
      @TheLifeofJoeLee 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The panel alignment of my car (both interior and exterior) is not perfect but I was ok with it because the car has been reliable, it works great, and the service experience was ok (this is no longer the case as I don't think my local service center can handle the large number of cars in area). It seems that some people who have taken delivery of new Model Ss in 2024 have had some problems with their cars and I've noticed really bad panel alignment on a new model Y that a friend had recently picked up so buying used (where you can spend some time inspecting and driving the car before buying) may be the way to go. As a former BMW owner (last one was a 2023 M2), I can confidently say that the overall build quality of my Plaid is not as good. The paint quality is on par - it is holding up as well as my previous F80 M3s. With that said, the driving experience and usability of the car are good enough for me to overlook the less than perfect build quality. Just curious, are you also considering the Porsche Taycan and/or Audi E-Tron GT? To me (and probably everyone else), they have better build quality and a nicer interior. However, I value the more efficient packaging of the Plaid, one pedal driving, FSD, and not having to deal with routine maintenance for my daily driver.

At 53,000 miles I’ve spent over $9k on tires already in 2.5 years. Thanks to you, instead of spending another $3,100 on just tires, I instead ordered your exact TSportline TS5 setup tonight ($3,800 shipped after $500 off coupon).

I think there was significant toe out in the rear when the car was delivered.

    I too had the smell in my 21 Plaid. I got them to replace the HIPA housing AND the filter under warranty. I then bought a filter sock that goes over the inlet of the HIPA housing. I also got a "dam" above the vents for the HIPA so it would protect any water to get into that vent. Did this last year and the smell hasn't returned.

      Thank you for sharing your experience and fix! That's great that you got Tesla to cover it under warranty. I had argued with the Tesla service center about it but they would not acknowledge that the filter was a problem.

      I did not have a tire warranty, but even if i did, my original tires were worn down. They were not impacted by a road hazard, so they would not have been covered.

      Those are the Porsche 20" Sport Classic wheels that were an option for the 2014 - 2016 Panamera. I had purchased them to put winter tires on and ended up preferring the fit and look over the Turbo ii wheels that came with the car.

      I was in the market for a 2 door sports car with 4 seats as I have 2 young kids that I like to share my car experiences with. I had a BMW M2 and considered to be a bit too refined for me. I've owned Porsche 911s in this price range (991.1 C2S, 997.2 C4S, and 997.1 C2S) and wanted to try something different. When I first drove an Evora 400, I fell in love with the driving feel but preferred the looks of the Evora GT. I did not try an Emira before purchasing the Evora. Aside from the Emira being a 2 seater, I prefer the looks of the Evora GT (purely subjective), although I've since warmed up to the styling of the Emira. I've also heard that the Emira is more refined than the Evora which is going away from what I was looking for. Does having 4 seats matter to you? If not, there are a lot of options. If I were to get a 2 seater, my runner up would be a Porsche Boxster Spyder or Cayman GT4. What other cars are you considering?

    I would dearly love to have these wheels when I buy a 2024 Model S, but the streets in the New Orleans area are so bad that I’d have a bent wheel within weeks. I’ll have to stay with the plain 19” wheels to retain my sanity (and wallet). Thanks.

      I think the 19" Tempest wheels look good with the wheel covers removed. The 20" TS5s have held up well so thus far to my driving in NJ and Philadelphia.
