Tesla has been described as a meme stock.
That's why Musk is popping up everywhere.
He has captured the public imagination with stories about digging a tunnel from America to Europe or colonising Mars.

I know a few people that do repos for JLR and it’s mostly warranty disputes. They say they don’t get many issues with the IPace. At these prices I think it’s worth the risk. Ms motorrbiking recently bought an X1, we probably should have looked at these jags at 1/2 the price. I’d be tempted but I already have an EV and an ice car and hardly drive either.

great deal, except they currently make and sell zero cars.
what jaguar land rover have stopped making all cars including range rovers etc? thought it was just jags
Perhaps i should have said off the cars they sell as it does look like i was just talking about jags

Just Jags. The rest don't make it off the forecourt without engine failure
too true mates range rover was in constantly so got ridJust Jags. The rest don't make it off the forecourt without engine failure
Look on the bright side, the shares are only down 45% year to date.
The rubes are still buying them.

28% is not 45%
now tell me your maths on
The price on 2nd jan $379 price today $273 to get a 50% drop
Wow, just wow. The percentage dunce preaching percentages. Hilarious.
I'd have a hell of a job trying to prise the Discovery Sport that Mrs fillys been driving for nearly 3 years out of her hands, she loves it.
A lot of issues with the engine (not hers) have been cases where lack of engine maintenance or wrong maintenance have been involved. A lot of modern diesels boasted boasted two year oil change intervals or 20,000 miles, that's gone full circle with fully synthetic oils and Euro 6 emission controls particularly using stuff like ad blu to reduce emissions. Interval is now 12 months or 10K although I did read some time ago VW Golf drivers might consider oil changes at 5K for city driving. We all know of the DPF problems where the cars are driven short distances at low speeds and the dfp filter blocks, mrs filly had nightmares with a Peugot 407 when she worked a mile from home.
There were rarely issues on Jags with AdBlue when the adblue was injected at or near the exhaust manifold (this is my understanding btw and please note I'm not a technical expert of the matter). When the Discovery Sport and Range Rover Evoque were introduced they were forced to abandon that layout due to the space allowed under the bonnet so the injection point was lowered to the bottom of the engine, too close to the DPF so the fluid was entering the DPF at too low a temperature resulting in failed DPF purges, if a purge failed this caused unburnt diesel to find it's way into the engine oil. (my understanding of engine layouts tells me this shouldn't be possible but maybe @Mottie has some knowledge of it, I know he owned an Evoque and wasn't impressed). This caused oil dilution which led to a number of catastrophic failures. This wasn't a problem on most Jaguar cars or larger Range Rovers.
To resolve the problem JLR introduced an app into the software to note the number of failed purges and calculate the degree of oil dilution and modify the service interval accordingly. The oil in mrs filly's car is ******g expensive and she regularly checks the app on her smart watch to tell her when the next service is due and when the adblue needs topping up and she acts on that info, not everyone does.
So, JLR tend to always have a presence in the top 10 most unreliable cars along with Audi, Porsche etc.
Audi have similar problems with fuel diluting oil but maybe for different reasons, google Audi snapped crankshafts, it's an eye opener and made me feel a bit better about owning a Land Rover.
You'd think switching to electric would help but I read recently JLR were forced to re-purchase a considerable number of ev's because of being advised not to fully charge due to a fire risk, certain Audis have the same problem but didn't go down the re-purchase route and a class action was launched against them in January.
Don't know what my next car will be, it really is a jungle out there particularly if you're looking at high end high tech vehicles. I'd probably lean towards Hyundai/Kia, they do some nice larger SUV's fully loaded with all the toys.
The Chinese are bringing over a raft of nice looking cars to the UK this year and not all EV's, could be tempting.
