Jaguar Reveals Rebrand for its EV Future (😬)

[Famine]

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?

 

[CTznOfTime]

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

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 All it needs is the curly cord!

I don't dislike it... as a replacement for the SUX 6000 in a reboot of Robocop.

I'd buy that for $130,000

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.

 

[Dave A]

Honestly, I think I prefer the brick car off Top Gear to this Jaaaag.

This new Jag is just a really ugly car from almost every angle. They've surpassed expectations.

 

[ZEE]

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?

It'd be more comfortable getting in or out.

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.
