    Should be no surprise to anyone who has looked at EV prices lately. I can walk into a EV Jag for the price of a RAV4. And given the lack of issues EV’s tend to have, I can see why people might spring for that.

        Honestly I’d bet money that thing is going to be very reliable, Jaguar is very good with electrical systems, so having them toss out the engine and gearbox is going to do a lot of good for reliability. Seen models of these with over 400k miles on the clock.

        British auto companies have a long history of supremely reliable engineering, especially in electrical systems. I’m certain that a Jaguar EV will be the pinnacle of reliability and longevity. It might even rival the quality of the old British Leyland cars.

      Toyota is enjoying a really nice profit right now, with money that the BEV charlatan had hoped to win through deception and disinformation bombardment. Tesla got a lot of people riled up and excited about vehicles, and when people did their shopping research, flocks and droves of them found themselves deciding that it was wiser and better to go with a Toyota, and they were right.

      You might be tempted to believe that BEVs would be less prone to problems as they have fewer parts, but in reality many BEV owners have an inordinate multitude of problems with their vehicles, including premature catastrophic major component failures. Another grief that they’ve had is the huge expense of repairs in the case of minor accidents and rapid depreciation of resale value.
