905 hp is no joke....It's the king of Speed with hyper Suvs....170,000 isn't a high price. I was expecting it to be around 280,000. It has a cool sleek look

To me, the only interesting thing about electric cars are that they'll be the first autonomous driving cars, but I guarantee that tech will be adapted to ICE soon after. The acceleration is adrenaline inducing for the first 10 times or so, but then it's kind of meh. If I wanted a daily to drive me to work, I'd buy one, but otherwise it's "ICE, ICE, baby!"

Absolutely thrilled to see Lotus entering the electric SUV arena with such a bang! The Eletre not only pushes the boundaries with over 900hp but also brings Lotus's heritage of innovation and design into the electric era. It's fascinating to see how it stacks up against the likes of Tesla's Model X Plaid and the upcoming Lucid Gravity. The electric SUV market is heating up, and it's not just about raw power but also about luxury, technology, and driving dynamics.

This is a fun comparison. It is hardly a lightweight Lotus, but it is quick and opulent. It does seem to compare well against the $$$ gas powered European "exotic" SUVs, but still is not nearly as quick as the Model X Plaid, and close to the Cyberbeast. But Lotus buyers won't care about that one bit, because it is very rare and luxurious. I wonder how it will compare against the Lucid Gravity due out later this year. Certainly it will be more exotic and rare, but likely not quite as quick.

it's not the supercharger that are not that quick. it's the charging that starts slowing down as soon as the SoC reaches 20-25% to make sure there is no additional degradation on the battery. a standard 250kW v3 supercharger could charge a 100kWh battery in 20 min from 0 to 100% if the battery was able to take it, 17 min from 10 to 80. a 350kW v4, 17m 0-100% 12m 10-80% it is really the battery, cooling and BMS software that are limiting charging speed, rather than the chargers....
