All the pro-plaid points you make are exactly why I'm buying a cybertruck!
Personally, I drive my mini cooper and I don't like having back seats, they feel wasteful and pointless. The lotus being so lightweight delivers a connection to the road as I've never felt in anything else. I haven't even felt as connected on any motorcycle. The other advantage is that one could buy a tri-motor FSD CyberTuck and an Exige instead of a plaid and still have enough cash left over to not work for an entire year.
Did you edit those photos? They look great.
As for fitting in an elise/exige, I think you'd do fine. They have this magic about them that's similar to slapping a submarine door on a go-cart and turning the whole thing into a Tardis. at 6', 200+ I find using it as my daily to be enjoyable. I have had a 6'3" co-worker sit in it because he didn't think it would be possible to fit. I also let a guy who was pushing 400lbs ride with me to lunch and he asked for a ride back as well despite having other options. I did take the roof off so he could get in though. The passenger compartment is only rated for 450lb so that probably wasn't smart on my end, but I haven't seen issues, so lucky me.
Fat guys guide to getting in and out of a lotus (solid entertainment):
The lotus does not have a frunk, it has a wind tunnel and a massive radiator. The trunk gets extremely hot, but is surprisingly roomy as Lucy demonstrates here (skip the middle bits:
