#1 JAGUAR IS DONE.....

Post by gtjoey » Wed Mar 29, 2023 1:55 am

Today is a sad day as Jaguar is closing 75 percent of all its dealers in the U.S.
The letters went out today.
The 187 dealers are being reduced to 50!
Other than possible old ICE repair the left over dealers are waiting for the all electric car to compete against Bentley for close to200 grand.
They went WOKE and now going BROKE!
Meanwhile the ELECTRIC scam has been pushed back in the EU to 2050!
Every country , every politician , just a bunch of ASK HOLES!

Now that is sad but was on the cards as they had no concrete plans for new model ranges.....

I liked the MATERIALS used for the interior...
It was actual quality and OVER BUILT to bring in old existing clients and new ones as well.
BUUUUUUT As the electric scam unfolded and the lack of any grid what so ever it became apparent that we were buying a 1918 Model T all over again.
The electric car is a novelty pushed down our mouth in the name of green credits and taxes.
JAGUAR WENT WOKE AND BIT THE ENTIRE PIECE OF PIE.
Plus insulting existing clients, NO SERVICE, RUDE STAFF AT DEALERS THAT NEVER RETURNED ANYONES CALLS all helped.
They are done ,sadly my Aston is
behind then Mclaren will be next.
Long Live Ferrari and Porsche who had the foresight to push back.....pure electric is not happeneing.

Wellll...
I fear that e-fuel technology will not be that developed by 2035 and will remain very expensive.
And will existing cars at the time, and our XK engines in particular, be compatible with e-fuel?

I think it will take much longer than that for fossil fuels to disappear completely if ever.

Interesting video but the reasoning that EV cars are the most effective and the cheapest is flawed imho, inasmuch that in practice, today and tomorrow, EV cars won't get their electricity from windmills or solar panels but from oil, coal or gas thermal plants!
Which nullifies all the propaganda from those imposing EV cars.

There will never be enough installed capacity from renewables for cars.
It is a lie to say that renewables will at the same time power cars, heat houses, provide electricity everywhere with the small capacity and networks existing today or planned in the future.
A scam!

:yeahthat:

Governments constantly lie to the people more so post Covid, we are constantly scammed in order to extract more and more of our hard earned and that includes the latest ULEZ policies.

All of you are spot on , follow me on this.....
The EU just like the United States is now run by bafoons that never EVER ran a company or met a payroll
Case in point
Ford sold a little over 61,000 electric cars and trucks in 2022
THEY LOST 3 BILLION IN THE SAME YEAR TO PRODUCE THEM IN THE SAME YEAR
THEY WILL LOSE ANOTHER 3 BILLION IN 2023
They RECIEVED 6 BILLION from the U.S. government so far to go green.
Hmmmmmm guess who is paying?
They sold 600,000 trucks with ICE engines at the same time.
But on paper they say the electric is booming because they grew 400 percent.
Its all joke......
Most know in the EU the credits car makers get for EV /NON EV ,Its all a joke or they pay a TAX.
THEY DONT PAY THE TAX......WE DOOOOOOOOOO
