I'm not a big Jag fan mind you but another company moving away from ICE all together is interesting. I believe Audi cancelled the R8 in favor of an EV version and the next Dodge Charger Hellcat supposedly will be an EV as well.

My wife's EV is pretty nice, but so far every EV I've driven has been discovered from the road. Like a moving couch instead of a driving experience. Hopefully we'll get some real enthusiast grade sports cards out of this.

What do y'all think?

EV’s surpass ICE cars in many ways. My car tells me exactly when I will need to ‘fill her up’. My last ICE couldn’t accurately do that, as it didn’t account for heating/cooling, …

Been driving an EV for 6 years now. Tesla model X (range ~ 260kms) first, now a model Y LR (range ~ 480kms).

I easily leave any competition behind me at red lights, whenever there’s someone who doesn’t know the specs of my car.

Current ranges have improved over the previous generations, and are still getting better.

I easily drive 1000kms in one day with about 3 20-30 minute stops. Which is excellent to stretch the muscles, play a game of petanque or just play a game on the console. It all adds to de-stressing while driving, and arriving well rested at my destination.

Whether your car is driving like a couch or a roadster all depends on what car you buy. Sure a Prius will drive a lot less aggressively than a Lambo, but they are totally diffe cars with a totally different target. Compare the right cars with each other…

I think you’re fucking confused about what public roads are for, asshole.

That would be Mr Asshole for you, dear sir, or madam, or whatever title you like to be addressed with.

Tell me you’ve never tried to cross the lights before the proverbial blue beamer which was revving its engine while spewing loud obnoxious music through the open windows/roof, and I’ll show you a liar.
