Electric cars

[volsrock]

I wish him luck, Jaguar is near the top for most consumer complaints on the combustion engine cars followed by the Rovers. The English just have trouble building reliable cars

YUP

they suck

Which battery is better lithium or ion?

Although Lithium-ion batteries might seem much better, especially from a waste point of view, there are still some properties that make Lithium batteries incredibly useful. They have a much higher energy density than lithium-ion batteries, meaning they hold more charge in comparison to their size.

He and I don't have that issue, since we both maintain/ fix our own cars.

surprising, not sure that has anything to do with what I am saying

"Consumers" commonly have zero knowledge of a sophisticated machine that they own and thus blow up any issue, then take it to a mechanic who is more than happy to tell them how expensive it is to fix.

But you and your son doing your own work does not make a poorly engineered machine run better, I can change heads, cams, redo cylinder walls, but if the machine is engineered poorly doing my own work will not change the dependability

I wanted a DB9 convertible Volante and eventually bought a low miles one only to discover that dependability would be questionable along with much of the electrics, sold it the day everything was working and never looked back

That's my point, in my experience they are not engineered poorly, just maintained and repaired poorly.

I'm not saying that Jaguar made perfect cars throughout its entire long history. It's problems with Lucas electrics is well documented. However that was a generation ago. The 97 XJ6 that I owned was a fine automobile. The electrical system was incredible. Sure it was complicated, with four auxiliary panels, but it was robust and easy to diagnose if you just took the time to read the repair manual.

I can't gush about Rivian enough, they've beaten everyone else to the electric truck market, have the backing of Amazon and Ford and are expected to IPO sometime after Thanksgiving. Might be a good stock to scoop up.

Let it be known here and henceforth that I know what the hell I'm talking about.

RIVN IPO came out last week (earlier than I expected) at 78 and is currently sitting at 172.01. I sure as shit didn't miss out on it, did you?

I drove a 63 XKE. It was a beautiful car and quick. It was the little things that drove you nuts.
