I for one think JLR are in with a chance if they can deliver a premium EV range that is on par if not cheaper than Tesla's current range. At this stage, the elites are still buying maybach's, and most Tesla owners are just upper-middle class.

Tesla is a bit on the nose in some places as well [bigwhistle][bigwhistle][bigwhistle]. I have never really consider being a Short Seller of shares. One or several issues is making me think about it some times. NOT INVESTEMENT ADVICE I wont anyway as I like a considered investment not gambling which I think some practices are :)

Won't argue with that. Thing is though, unless they're Ferrari most car makers have many more than one string to their bow. Jaguar does not. And I'm tipping we aren't going to see anything utterly hideous coming out of Ferrari anytime soon.

Think of all the Defender concept vehicles that seemed to come out over a decade and then what the actual vehicle was

Always loved a hot red F car JT. A gent who drove his to me once gave me a significant reason why he did not take his to the F club any longer. Class was once simple. Now I suspect its corrupted by some who claim they have it.

Not saying Ferrari's are bad. There is cool ones and those that make me go Hmmmmmm[bigwhistle] Mia Culpa with Toorak tractors with Discos and Rangies we love ?
?

I've got my fingers crossed this jaguar thing is just all a world wide media beat up. Is this the greatest marketing ploy we have ever seen? It would be hilarious if it was ... and brilliant. Are they going to turn around now and show us there new car ..... It being a lovely supercharged V8 passenger sedan [bigrolf]

When 'woke-ism' is on it's deathbed, be not surprised if a re-surgence of common sense knocks Nett Zero rubbish off it's perch in the aftermath...

4 pages of talk here prompted by the ad so it probably has achieved it's intended purpose.
