The Type 01 is the first model to arrive from Jaguar’s rebirth. The British carmaker was an early entrant to the modern EV market with the 2017 I-Pace, which was fun to drive even if it was too small inside and perhaps completely unreliable. An all-electric sedan was supposed to be next, but a year from the showroom, it was abruptly canceled, leaving the automaker with nothing to sell as old models like the F-Pace ceased production.

This car at least has a somewhat unique look to it unlike the Luce; which looks so powerfully generic that it almost doesn't matter what other features it has.
Or worse, the Ford Mustang Mach-E, which looks like Ford has suddenly started reselling the Tesla Model Y.
Fuck me. I thought the mach_e was a hot hatch. Its an SUV! Wtf were they thinking bedside raising the price compared to a coupe.
The Luce looked exactly like what I imagined the proposed Apple car would look like and nothing like a Ferrari
I think that's true for the exterior, but for the interior it's the opposite, the Luce interior looks great, and the jag interior looks like every other new car...
Kind of ironic given Jags are more well known for driver comfort while Ferraris are more known for showing off.
I'm not even sure you can compare the two. To me the have different missions and are appealing to different segaments of (albeit the same) market. The only similarity is they're both EVs.
