So Jaguar is telling people that their EV is not a safe product in an indoor garage.
Pedo Joe Biden’s fault.
Ralph Nader: Unsafe at any speed
Jaguar: Unsafe when parked in your garage.
Cruise: I’m a military prosecutor
Yoda: A jaguar
When 007 had a Jaguar, I wanted one. Never bought one, it’s probably as well I didn’t.
If I had the money I would seriously consider the current Tesla Model 3, despite my reservations about the current steering wheel design.
It took them five years to figure out there was a problem.
Lol.
Lucas makes EV batteries?
Park 250 feet from residence to charge.
Interesting, I recently saw a video of a car mechanic saying he had researched his repair records to find the cars that had the highest incidence of problems. Jaguar was No. 1. Range Rover came in 2nd.
annnnd if you can’t possibly charge outside in a ‘safe spot’ well, too bad- enjoy your paper weight
Their quality control on the battery cells and packs is why.
For any of these, though, it doesn’t take much to start them on fire in a crash.
Like, your neighbors garage...
“Lucas makes EV batteries?“
LOL!
Have owned over 12 different vehicles.
Have driven OVER 1 million miles.
Put OVER 44,000 on a Pontiac wagon.
Still have a 1976 1 ton Chevy 4 speed 454 truck with over 348,000 miles
AND a 1979 Buick wagon with over 223,ooo miles.
NEVER worried about any of them CATCHING FIRE.
Lived in single family development in So CAL.
LOT was 125 X 62
IMPOSSIBLE to meet those standards.
PUT OVER 444,000 on Pontiac wagon
AUTO CORRECT !!!!!!!!
(When 007 had a Jaguar,)
007 never drove a Jaguar. He drove an Aston Martin. I personally own a classic Jaguar XK.
RE: for safety keep it outside....
I might add for my EV crazy neighbors:
And not next to my car and my home where I sleep at night.
Stay away. Far away.
Articles on the long process of firefighters versus EV fires say that, after putting it out and towing it to a lot, the fire often rekindles.
Park them at the junk yard & walk away alive.
Didn’t Jaguar say they are going 100% EV?
They owe consumers new paint jobs every year.
