I used to hate the cyber truck, but once it came out, now I really like the cyber truck

Please tell me you're not going to post seven pictures of that as well.


Anyway... JaGUar: the official car of traumatic brain injury from simply trying to get into it.

What on Earth is the deal with that encroachment?
 
That encroachment is most likely due to the engineering structural reinforcement to make the car as stiff as it is, and avoid any body twist, because if you had a sharp corner edge there, the car body will flex and weaken overtime, and cracks will initiate. I could be wrong.

And
To be fair, despite some people being square in their head, but most people's heads are physically round
Therefore this encroachment surely will not penalize anyone....

If I had the means, my two car garage would be the cyber truck and this Type 01

I think it's also easier to seal a window that doesn't have a sharp corner. I'm not sure it needs to have a radius that large though....

edit: What I wrote doesn't make sense after another look.

edit2: It looks like the chassis uses a lot of aluminum and it's very heavy. Aluminum really doesn't not like stress concentrations.

The also aluminum cybertruck also has large-radius corners at the window opening

I think weird things like that are due to Jag raiding the JLR parts bin and taking stuff made for larger openings from Range Rovers etc. It looks suspiciously like a narrowed and shortened thing made for a huge door that you wouldn't normally be hitting your head on.

That pic reminds of another stroke of genius in the interior, who thought that a large triangle that looks like a block of wood would be the best way to mount a control panel? It looks so out of place and is giving Office Telephone vibes :lol: All it needs is the curly cord!

I get in and out of a lot of different cars. This is one of the worst I've ever seen.

I agree with you.

ingress and outgress on this car will be a pain for its owners, especially those who are older than 40.

The car is sitting fairly low, and with a roof line at below 140cm... There is no getting around it.

You really have to want this car to accept its shortcomings.

Art is not convenient.
 
I was worried that the comedy quotient of this thread would diminish once this car's reveal footage was made public, but I'm happy to say this doesn't appear to be the case. :lol:

This is not a car for everyone
This is a car for people who can afford to make a statement with a unique rolling piece of art,
And as you all know, beauty in art is in the eye of the beholder....

This video will explain to all of you why only a few of us will go for this car, but they don't expect everyone to like it.

This Type 01 is doing the exact same thing ...
It is giving a sort of status symbol, and exclusivity.

In the street, you will stand out.


Edit: i suspect it will also be the new favorite car of bad guys...Like the Chrysler 300

It interesting you say that but I feel it will "stand out" for all the wrong reasons. Big giant slab on London streets or europe streets, with no way to navigate tight roads due to its size. Interior is an okay design, steering wheel ugly af. I cant imagine what a repair bill for a crash will be to fix its long ass nose. Let alone justifying the price, which will depreciate harder that a Taycan at the used car bar. Only time will tell, also why over 1000bhp, surely a Grandiose tourer doesn’t need that much?
 
ZEE

Yeah, you'd stand out if you went out half dressed as a clown too. You might be making a statement, doesn't mean it's a good statement.

Or getting out of it. Instant closed casket vibes.

new slogan Jagauar. A car to be seen and not seen in it or out of it.

With these new EVs that aren’t canyon carvers, I’m still seeing missed opportunities to do a bench seat. At least a split bench.

The problem is that this isn't even "art" either, so your points are making it look increasingly stupid anyway

With shortcomings like THAT (which will be extreme havoc on you if you have say arthritis), I don't know if "Art" is how I would describe this car.

Yes, Art isn't convenient but typically, its also not THIS level of inconvenient either. At that point, "Hazard" is the better way to describe it.
 
Anyone familiar with the MGM intro sting will know the Latin motto "Ars Gratia Artis", which means "Art for Art's Sake".

And someone is talking a load of ars.
 
If I set aside my subjectivity towards this car
And look at the reality of similar cars in this categories :
1) Tesla Model S (now discontinued)
2) Lucid Air (probably the best car in this category on several points)
3) Porsche Taycan
4) Twin Audi e-Tron GT
5) Mercedes EQS
6) Mercedes AMG GT 4-door Coupe (so many conflicting contradicting words in its own name)

Objectively, and I think most of your here would agree:
None of them are considered to be successful financially for their respective company.
If anything, the Tesla Model S could potentially be the most successful, most visible because first ever, but just barely.
The Taycan might be a close second, but we all know that car cost Porsche dearly.
The Lucid Air should have been a commercial success because it truly is the best EV ever from a technical engineering standpoint, yet here we are, Lucid is barely grasping air through a straw.

So what are the chances for Jaguar to be successful with this Type 01....

Sadly very slim.
Truly their Hail Mary

Unless Jag can follow up immediately with a more affordable car....


Despite it all, I am rooting for and crossing fingers for Jaguar, it would be sad if they fail.
I was rooting for Lucid too...

Oh well. We live in a cruel world nowadays.
 
Forgive me if I can't remember, but has anyone mentioned they release the car this year and the movie Metropolis takes place in 2026? Not sure if jaguar would want people connecting the brand that way of life. Especially with what's going on in the world right now.

The world has realized that EVs aren't efficient and an overpriced, over-designed clickbait car for wealthy influencers is going to be even more hated, for the better or the worse. There's nothing wrong if you like it, of course, but unfortunately Jaguar is probably going to fall flat on it's face because of all of this, just like Porsche.

For me, I'm not sad if they fail. I'm sad they thought it would work in the first place
