Jaguar’s New Taycan RIVAL - $125,000 Electric GT

[@creatchandcars]

What do you think about Jaguar switching to an all electric lineup? Thanks for watching!

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thank you for the video. I agree there is a lot at stake for the future of the brand. Hopefully, they knock it out of the park!

Thanks for the video! I love the styling of the Jaguars. I have an XK 5.0L convert, and I love it. (Civic as a daily) I do hope they have a new car that has the effect of the E type in 1961. Imo, you're a little too hard with Ford ownership. Problems yes...but under Ford came the XK8, a very popular, for good reason, car. Ford also owned Aston Martin at the same time and brought out the DB7, a very popular car. Both I believe, became the best selling cars for their mark. (..and yes, Ford stole some of the design notes and pasted them on lessor cars... Ford Fiesta comes to mind certainly...lol)

I do love the XK8, I think Ford brought down the brand name with models like the s-type. Definitely not all bad, and I'm hoping the brand can still get turned around. Thanks for the comment!

1:23 i'll show you some of my "tata jaguar design language" if you know what i mean ;)

[@silverado0938]

I don’t know why the taycan needs a rival? They can’t sell taycans or etron gts

You sound amazing🥰

[@robertlikis3386]

Sounds amazing? Who might you be referring to?

[@robertlikis3386]

must be your relative... or other? if you are referring to this narrator. just sayin

[@crashhh410]

@@robertlikis3386 actually your opinion is wrong he's gotten other comments in the past saying how nice he sounds so you must be deaf, sucks to be you !

Wrong tech, too expensive, depreciate rapidly, just throwing money away. Jaguar should follow Porsche and get into e-fuels to retain their hard won market rather than throwing it all away. They will be destroyed with this crass move, ev's are failing cos the public have turned back to ICE vehicles

[@andrewcooper4119]

EV sales are up by 12% globally. The hits to the economy since COVID have discouraged some buyers from the more expensive initial cost of purchasing an electric vehicle (and less attractive electricity costs due to wars over oil), but this will pick up again as EVs reduce in price and economies start to recover. This problem has affected sales of luxury vehicles, too, due to the higher price tags. The move to BEVs has slowed but is not stopping. Hydrogen is a non-starter - better for aviation or trucking due to awkward storage and cooling required. And synthetic fuel facilities won't be able to make a dent in the market for the next 10-15 years as they need rapid scaling (and they still produce emissions and require transport/shipping). Also, almost all vehicles depreciate rapidly, and EVs are no exception. Some depreciation is due to the misunderstanding that battery cars need battery replacements, but with batteries now doing 350,000+ miles this is no longer an issue (the whole 'you'll need to buy a £20,000 replacement battery in 7 or 8 years' argument is void).

​​@@andrewcooper4119 EVs only have a 3% market share globally. There simply are not enough lithium, cobalt and rare earth materials to electrify all transport at economical cost. Even now the last few year's lithium price has increased tenfold. Therefore the high EV prices will not come down any time soon. Depreciation of EVs is twice as high as of ICE cars, simply because if there is a battery failure outside of warranty the car is a total loss. This may change when individual cells can be cheaply replaced. Currently, in China the average lifespan of an EV is 4-5 years compared to 16 years for an ICE car. A century ago the global market share of EVs was more than 30%. But then just as now the disadvantages outweighed the advantages and these EVs have all disappeared except in a few niche markets.

[@peterdejong5456]

​​@@andrewcooper4119 You seem to forget the bottleneck with BEVs is the energy density. Petrol has almost 52 times the energy density of a modern Li-ion battery. And it has almost 26 times the energy density of the most advanced solid state battery. And although the drivetrain efficiency of an EV is almost 3 times better than of a modern hybrid ICE car, the EV still has an 8 to 16 times disadvantage in terms of energy density and thus range and weight. I.e. when towing a caravan the range is halved. When traveling the caravan-EV combo long distances uphill in a mountainous region the range is halved again. For higher curve speeds, better handling, more driving pleasure, less fine particle emissions, more range and low cost, a vehicle should be as lightweight as possible. Bugatti and Chapman were right in saying 'weight is the enemy!'. BEVs are only superior to ICE cars in straight line performance and only for the lower to midrange power categories. Even the most powerful EV will lose from any Top Fuel dragster. In all other aspects important to automotive transport BEVs are simply not the right technology.

No flame intended but (IMHO) this narrator does not speak clearly and his word run-on is most unpleasant to listen to. I was relieved that this video had the CC option. As for the new GT EV, if this rendering of the exterior and (especially) interior, is near accurate, I will find another EV to buy. I currently own and drive a 2013 XJL Portfolio designed by Ian Callum who (IMO) created a luxury Jaguar that to-this-day far outshines any other luxury car offering - save Flying Spur Bentley - on the market. I have personally inspected the Mercedes EQS (mount humpback) and Lucid and both have zero luxury interiors. The EQS doesn't have rear window side shades, clothes hooks, rear screens (USA version) or exit handles which is an unforgivable mistake. I'm not sure who the OEs are targeting but from where I stand, certainly not the more affluent consumer who has the cash to buy. Shame on JLR! I hope I'm wrong. I've waited two years for JLR to surface... appears they may drown in their own Corporate lack of guidance.
