At say, 50k miles plus it gets a bit sticky on the "wear and tear" front.

True. But some manufacturers can also be quite brutal when push comes to shove on the claim front.

Yes. If you have to get a power battery out of warranty, you are looking at 17 - 33k.

EV's work as smaller, runabouts are great. Long haul and/ or towing - diesel. With adblue, a DPF and 50 plus mpg. Always slightly bemused by lecky cars doing 60mph up the Mike Six and sh**ting themselves going up Shap and Beattock.

This is the issue. Support for these, erm ... types that promote reform are from the intellectually (and probably morally) challenged cohorts. The sort of people that proved successful for a certain German in 1934.

You are right. Jag should not
have gone down the "me too" route. That said, the XE is/was a wholly underrated car, the XF needed work but on the right track, the F Type brilliant and the F Pace pointless. As to the E Pace... a pogo stick on wheels.

I asked the Jag bloke, when they sent around a guy introducing this to dealerships: "What if you are wrong?" Jag bloke was totally baffled.
