# โก Protint โ Bespoke Protection for the Lotus Eletre
## ๐ญ A Special Note for Lotus Eletre Owners
The **Lotus Eletre** is a groundbreaking all-electric hyper-SUV that marks a new era for the legendary British brand. As Lotus's first SUV and first five-door production car, the Eletre combines supercar performance (0-100 km/h in under 2.95 seconds for the R version), active aerodynamics, and a luxurious, tech-filled cabin with the brand's legendary 'For the Drivers' philosophy. With its deployable rear spoiler, active grille shutters, LiDAR technology, and a massive 23-inch wheels option, the Eletre is built for discerning owners who want supercar thrills with SUV practicality.
The Eletre features a 112 kWh battery with a range of up to 600 km (WLTP) and 800V architecture supporting ultra-fast charging. The **Eletre R** produces up to 905 hp and 985 Nm of torque. With **Level 2+ ADAS** capability and multiple LiDAR sensors, the Eletre is also one of the most technologically advanced vehicles available.
At **Protint**, we understand that Eletre owners value:
- **Hyper-SUV preservation** โ protection for a vehicle that's both luxurious and performance-focused
- **EV range optimization** โ reducing AC load means more driving range for this heavy EV
- **Active aero compatibility** โ films that won't interfere with moving aerodynamic components
- **LiDAR and sensor integrity** โ zero interference with the Eletre's advanced autonomous systems
- **Future collectibility** โ protecting Lotus's first SUV for generations to come
> **โ ๏ธ Important Legal Note for Indian Eletre Owners**:
> In India, aftermarket sun films are heavily regulated. The Supreme Court ruling of 2012 and the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989 specify that:
> - **Front and rear windshields** must have minimum **70% VLT** (Visible Light Transmission)
> - **Side windows** must have minimum **50% VLT**
> - Fines for non-compliance can reach **โน500-โน5, 000** with on-the-spot film removal
>
> Moreover, the Eletre's advanced sensors are sensitive to metallic films. As the official handbook warns: *'Please do not paste the film containing metal materials on the front windshield to ensure the normal operation of vehicle electronic devices'* . We use only **non-metallic, signal-friendly films** and recommend **removable mesh sunshades** as the preferred legal alternative for parked protection .
## โจ Legal Sun Protection for the Lotus Eletre
The Eletre's expansive glasshouse and large windshield require effective heat rejection, but legality is paramount.
### โ๏ธ Legal Compliance for Indian Eletre Owners
| Window Type | Minimum VLT Requirement |
|-------------|--------------------------------------------------|
| **Front Windshield** | 70% |
| **Front Side Windows** | 50% |
| **Rear Side Windows** | 50% (manufacturer guidelines) |
| **Rear Windshield** | 50% (manufacturer guidelines) |
**Our Strong Recommendation**: Instead of illegal aftermarket films, we recommend **removable mesh sunshades** .
- **Legal Compliance**: These shades are completely legal for use while the vehicle is **parked** and can be easily removed while driving to ensure perfect visibility
- **LiDAR & ADAS Compatibility**: Unlike metallic films, removable shades do not interfere with the Eletre's 'God's Eye' sensor suite .
- **Interior Preservation**: Blocks harmful UV rays, protecting the sustainable wool-blend/leather seats
- **Panoramic Glass Roof Protection**: Custom-fit shades available for the 'Infinity Roof'
### ๐ก๏ธ Important Sensor Information
The Eletre is equipped with an array of sensors, including **front LiDAR, rear LiDAR, surround cameras, imaging radars, side detection radars, and ultrasonic sensors** .
**Do NOT apply any tinting film to the windshield or windows without ensuring it is 100% non-metallic. Metal particles in the film will disrupt the antenna and sensor functionality** .
## ๐ก๏ธ Paint Protection Film (PPF) โ Invisible Armor
Shield your **Lotus Eletre's** stunning hyper-SUV paintwork from stone chips, scratches, tree sap, bird droppings, and minor off-road abrasions. The Eletre's aggressive, aerodynamic design with complex curves requires a specialist's touch.
### โก Why PPF is Mandatory for the Eletre
- **Complex Curves**: The Eletre's hood and rear bumper feature **concave (inward)** curves that require a single-piece PPF application to avoid seams . Our installers are experts in wrapping these complex surfaces.
- **Self-Healing Technology**: We use high-grade TPU films (SunTek, XPEL, 3M) that heal minor scratches with heat .
- **Edge-to-Edge Coverage**: We wrap the film around edges to prevent dirt accumulation and peeling, ensuring 100% coverage of vulnerable panels .
### ๐ง Eletre-Specific PPF Coverage

| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Full Front Package** | Essential | The 'shark-nose' front bumper and large intakes are stone magnets |
| **Concave Hood** | Essential | Requires single-piece wrapping to avoid lifting |
| **Rear Concave Bumper** | Essential | Similar to the hood, requires expert application |
| **Active Aero Components** | Essential | Deployable spoiler and active grille need specialized thin film |
| **LiDAR Sensor Areas** | Essential | We use precision-cut film that does not block the sensors |
| **Side Air Intakes** | Highly Recommended | High-wear areas from road debris |
| **Door Sills & Cups** | Highly Recommended | Protects against entry/exit scratches |
| **Tailgate Sill** | Highly Recommended | The large boot is frequently used |
| **Black Plastic Cladding** | Recommended | Maintains the rugged hyper-SUV look |
