...not really annoyed, no - lotus are in the business of consulting, and being one of the only manufacturers to have pursued this line of lightweight chassis design amidst a sea of road tanks it's nice to see their diligence reap its due reward...

...it is annoying to see client manufacturers reap credit for 'designing' a producton lotus chassis, though...maybe not so much when it's a bespoke frame, like certain other manufacturers with lotus-engineered aluminum chassis technology in current development, but in the case of the tesla and dodge EV, yes, the recurring hail of innovation for a direct copy is a bit annoying...
