Jag lost it’s sex when they went from 12 to 8 cylinders. Now they want to become full blown eunuchs.

Top 174 Complaints
New $90,000 plus Jaguar XJL. The car has been in the shop Four times for over a total of 20 days. All kind of electrical problems, most prevalent is with Bluetooth disconnecting or instrument panel blanking out completely. Jaguar has no idea how to fix the issues and refuses to replace the computers. They have asked us to wait for a major software update that in July. This is our fifth Jaguar XJ and by far the worse electronics of any of the over 25 cars I have owned.

Because British electrics have the confidence of the world!

You can always get a generator at home and charge it up using gas...

Would be a cool way for 1960s British rock star to go out.

This is why your light bulbs must change, power company must be given authority to throttle your AC use, etc.
The dirty secret behind all of the other mandates.

Where is the electricity to recharge all of these electric cars going to come from? Windmills. If the wind blows enough the night before you want to go somewhere . . .

Jaguar is lucky to sell 30,000 units per year in the USA. Electrics won’s sell near that many. And, seeing how they are Jags, a high percentage will be immobile a high percentage of the time.

In spite of the headline, the article says "electric or hybrid."
The McLaren P1, Porsche 918, and Ferrari LaFerrari do rather nicely as hybrids.
Formula One race cars are also hybrids, and no slouches in the performance department.
Jaguar would do well to run in those circles with a hybrid, and I do believe that if they could pull it off, there are people who would want an electric Jag.

"E-Type" was the first car I fell in love with - never cared for 'vettes except the split-window Sting Ray.
Kinda looking at the new "F-Type"....

Better yet you could put the generator in the trunk and charge the vehicle while you’re driving.
