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?

    They’re only impractical if you want them to be.

    I have a 55 chevy that runs on gasoline. It’s so annoying having to go the gas station every other day I drive it. It’s almost like I spend my driving time going to gas stations. I couldn’t imagine trying to drive this thing to California, half my trip would be at gas stations. Thankfully though I can charge an EV from house and/or at work. No inconvenient stopping at over priced gas stations every other day.

    See, you can make anything look bad IMO. I’m a car guy, I daily one of two 11 second cars. I’m not an idiot, EV is coming and it’s the future. I’m fine with it really, ever ride in dual motor model 3 or a 90+ S? They fly, and they don’t pollute which is good for you know, saving the planet. I’ll always have a hotrod or two, but I’m down with EV swapping something fun. I’d own a Tesla but I refuse because of the asshat running that company.

      I mean, if youre filling up every other day then you definitely need to check on your engine’s health because that is very bad mileage for any road car.

      Regardless, I can see you are very passionate, and will respectfully end the conversation here. Have a nice day/night.

        I fill up every other day and I have a 2023MY car. My commute to work is 65+ miles one way and involves a lot of aggressive start and stop highway traffic. I get just above my EPA combo estimated range. It doesn’t have to be engine health. It could just be a stupid long commute.

        I can’t switch to an EV unless they install chargers at work - which they have indicated they will not do.
