To be completely honest, in the past month, I've spotted 2 Teslas and 0 Lotus here in LA.
I'll take a stab that this might be due to the fact that the people who buy Tesla's are more inclined to drive them as their primary cars?
But I'd say the cars share enough DNA to be considered close cousins.
-or perhaps the illegitimate child Lotus had with a mistress.
Even if the parts are a bit different, the two cars look similar enough, and even tho Tesla does it's best to downplay Lotus's involvement, we all know the truth.
I'd give those guys a warm welcome tho. Their money is indirectly helping fund Lotus, and while those cars appeal to a different kinda crowd - I'd say they're definitely a higher class of people than many other brand owners.
