Here are a couple more pics of the drive. Mostly Lotus, but many other cars. You can see the McLaren from above. There were 3 funky Vanderhall 3 wheelers, two two seaters, and one single seater.

Saw two of the new VW busses on a trailer, didn't get a picture. Looked surprisingly normal on the trailer at least.

Are you talking about the EV VW Buzz? Very popular here in the UK

In contrast, my LYRIQ with an EPA range of 307 gives you another hour of drive time between stops, more closely matching how we road trip in an ICE vehicle.

Longer wheelbase model just released in Europe, was expecting a longer range but no.

The hot hatch sector is heating up ie more interesting cars coming to the market such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, Alpine A290.. now the ICE Hyundai hot hatches have been scrapped the replacement EV versions should hopefully be as much fun to drive.. Watching this sector with interest.

2 tone looks way better. Too bad you can't get barn doors. That would be cool.
