The gestation period for an all new model is several years. The Ian Callum designed I Pace, responding to political policy rather than customer driven demand was built in Austria using a Chinese battery and owned by an Indian company. Six years on, it is no more and Jaguar are buying back nearly 3000 because of fire risk. Despite being a subjectively attractive car, I wonder how many will appear in a few decades time at concours d’ elegance along side cherished E types, XJs and XK 120s? The shelf life of EVs will possibly shorten further with the advent of solid state and other advancing battery tech making current models very undesirable on the second hand market. Even Porsche, with its recently modified Taycan, a direct competitor to the new jaGuar, is suffering from huge depreciation. Who in their right mind is going to buy them?
