Tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee has recently set up a separate car-focused channel called Auto Focus and has been producing some quite unique videos, mostly featuring (usually electric) cars that he’s spent some time with. He most recently drove the original Tesla Roadster and actually had some very interesting and new points to make about it, especially when it comes to the driving experience.
For him, the you can really feel the Lotus Elise connection when driving the car. It is small and light, you feel everything through the steering wheel and the seat, and it’s also a really petit vehicle that is very agile and quick to change direction. He actually makes it sound like these Lotus-like qualities dominate the driving experience more than the fact that the vehicle is electric.
