"Not At All Good Customer Service: Hello! I recently visited to see a car. I already own many supercars, and they invited me. However, I must say that the way they behaved with potential customers was very disappointing. Frankly, I'm not a fan of electric cars, but the vehicle itself was okay. They need to improve their customer service and behaviour towards customers."

"Yes this is the first Review !: Exploring the Lotus Eletre as an Indian car reviewer, I'm intrigued by its bold venture into the electric SUV space. From a local standpoint, it impeccably marries luxury and eco-consciousness, aligning with India's burgeoning interest in electric vehicles. The Eletre's standout features include a cutting-edge electric drivetrain, offering an impressive range perfect for city commuting. Inside, the cabin radiates sophistication with top-tier materials and advanced technology. However, a noteworthy downside is the limited charging infrastructure in certain Indian regions, which poses a real challenge. While the Eletre's performance is praiseworthy, its premium price may deter potential buyers. Lotus strikes a commendable balance between innovation and style, catering to India's evolving automotive scene, though the cost and charging infrastructure remain crucial factors for prospective customers to weigh. Lastly, I would like to share that, there are many more EVs present in this price segment so take into consideration that you get the EV that you want."
