    Rumorpile: Jaguar Considers Going Fully Electric

      Could Take Place Within the Next Decade

    Jaguar Land Rover has already announced plans to begin electrifying their lineups beginning in 2020, but Jaguar could be going one step further. Autocar reports that the management is considering making Jaguar an EV-only brand within the next decade.

    Plans have already been drawn up for a strategy that would see Jaguar phase out its conventional lineup with fully electric models over the next five to seven years. Here is the gist of the strategy,

    • A fully-electric sedan would replace the XJ sedan in two-years time. This model will take on the likes of the Tesla Model S and Porsche's upcoming Taycan.
    • The XE and XF will be replaced by a new electric crossover that will be similar in size to Audi's e-tron crossover (possibly taking the place of the F-Pace) by 2023.
    • 2025 would see the E-Pace replaced by the next-generation I-Pace.
    • The upcoming large J-Pace crossover will be the sole conventional model until 2027 when an electric replacement debuts.
    • There is talk about an electric sports car taking the place of the F-Type.

    It is quite the gamble that JLR is considering for the brand. But it one the brand is seriously considering for two reasons. One is that Jaguar sales have been floundering due partly to lineup having more sedans than crossovers, along with being heavily dependent on diesel. The other is that it would allow Jaguar to jump ahead of the likes of Audi and Mercedes-Benz with electric vehicles. Remember, Jaguar already has their EV on sale, while Audi and Mercedes-Benz are in the process of launching theirs.

    What do they have to lose?  Jaguar sales are pretty low, and I am sure they don't have the money to develop EVs and gas cars and build them side by side, so they probably have to pick on or the other.  They might as well go all in on EV and try to get ahead of the curve.

    I think Jaguar could sell a bunch of these EVs. The Electric concept C-X75 needs to go into production.

    Considering how many cars Tesla sells the market is there. And if 25K electric cars ever get into production without a government surplus, the internal Combustion power-train will start to face real trouble.

      Ahhh that makes sense. Just get things running and get the "proper" install done when you have time.  For some reason, my I completely forgot about the conventional outlets on generators (face palm) and I could only picture them running to a breaker box.

      I got a mid-size portable one rated for 4500w. It doesn't run the whole house. It's enough to keep the downstairs fridge and freezer going, the internet up, and the phones/laptops charged.  In the wintertime it can also be used to run the furnace. We lost power for 18 hours overnight this past winter when it was 11 degrees out, so getting one that will run the furnace was on my list of requirements.  We get multi-hour outages several times a year, during the worst of covid we had a transformer blow a couple streets over and they couldn't get a replacement for days, so I think it was an overdue investment. While it does have a connection available to wire into the breaker box, my breaker box is not set up for it. So for me, it was just stringing orange extension cords under the garage door and out the living room window to plug into the unit in the driveway. We got power back for a short time at 11 p.m., then again at 3 a.m., I was able to power down the generator at 3.  Last I looked, there were still 134k without power, over 400k at the worst of it.  They're saying more bad storms tonight.

      Yeah, I have a coworker that lives in downtown Pittsburgh and heard this morning her building has a generator but it's been on and off...

      Tariff Tuesday - Buick Killing it in China; Killed in the U.S.

      By ccap41 · Posted

      These companies are playing on both sides of the party line. Ford donated more to Harris than Trump.  https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/ford-motor-co/summary?id=D000000182 Same with GM. https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/general-motors/summary?id=D000000155 Toyota contributed a little more to Trump than Harris. https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/toyota-motor-north-america/C00542365/candidate-recipients/2024 Hyundai: https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/hyundai-motor-co/summary?id=D000042381   This is just fascinating information to me. It's also comical how these companies are trying to play good to either party who wins.

      Tariff Tuesday - Big Trouble in Little Crossovers

      By G. David Felt · Posted

      Sure, it does, as we have already seen some deals are being made that reduce the tariff compared to what it was before the latest announcements. For those that are not wanting what is on the lot currently or want something made outside the U.S., it totally makes sense that they would hold off and keep driving their older auto.
