Rumorpile: Jaguar Goes Electric, XK Replacement Canned

Sounds like a plan to compete with Tesla head on and just move to the Torque Monster EV's as default standard for all auto's.

Electric vehicle sales have stagnated like an old tire full of water turned brown and teeming with mosquito larvae.  This fits perfectly with Jaguar's place in the automotive scheme of things.

Like all those 50-65 year olds with masters, doctorates and PHDs that are unemployed as they feel they do not have to change, continue to learn and move forward, the fact is EV's will not replace petro immediately, but climate change is real and even the arabs who are pushing education to build other industries outside of Oil know we are in the final decades of it's use. Countries are going to push to find a way to clean up emissions and while battery production is just another form of Greenhouse gas compared to petrol, EVs does make city living especially far better. For one that works in the auto industry, I would expect you to take a more embracing role as accidents will happen and you will still have work as long as you learn about the EVs so your shop can work on them.

Jaguar's place could be a leading one if they do it right for style, design and performance plus range. This could make them a player rather than a fading footnote in history.

Change is inevitable and just like all the spraying going on to kill the mosquito larvae to prevent Zitka, petros days are numbered

I think a lot of EV's that are big and plush are going to be liftback/fastback sedans thingamajiggers.

I don't owe you an explanation.  You assume that because I am anti-electrification that I haven't kept up my industry training.

Hello Ocnblu, I am making a generalization in regards to learning. I know you have been attending training to keep your skills updated. I am just pointing out that I disagree with your own statement you posted about what Jaguar is doing.

Have a great day!
