I was bullish on Tesla Stock: But here comes Jaguar

We can all agree that the Tesla Model S was a breakthrough in technology, a car that could actually be used on the roads and to fill up gas all you needed was a three prong 220V plug in to get moving again. It was innovative, very stylish, and began a movement that the big autos thought would take years to actually conceive. Tesla also laid reign to the loss of luxury vehicle sales as it took a bite off of the top end sedans. It took about 4 years but big auto companies have taken notice and you don't have a high-end electric car on your books for the next 10 years you are probably in trouble unless it's Hydrogen that is. 



    



So here comes lowly Jaguar a car company that was near the brink of extinction after its time with Ford. Tata then took the bill and bought out the struggling but historic car maker and began it's rise back to the days of yonder of the Jaguar E-Class Coupe. So what has come is a brigade of cats to make sure that the iconic brand is in the game to stay the first of that change over actually came with Ford with the Jaguar XF, the new trail has been laid with the likes of the F Type Coupe, F-Pace CUV, and the new XF so with that bag of tricks what else could you want. Jag is not resting on its hind legs any longer and starting up front is where they plan to go so in a year after design they are bringing to life the Tesla Model 3 competitor in the name of the Jaguar I-Pace. 


Performance:
What really draws folks to Tesla isn't only the styling but the fact it can really move. I mean the cars really move, the Tesla P100 can hit sixty as fast as 1 million-plus Bugatti Chiron (2.5 seconds). So if your bringing in a competitor better  be sure you have battery power and this car is no slouch. The I Pace is powered by two motors giving you instant torque and a formidable 516 lb tq, and as you continue 400 hp. With those numbers, there is no doubt that the Tesla will shove you back in the pants and make your face feel like its stuck in the washing machine. The estimated times currently to 60 or under 4.0 seconds but I am sure this car will surprise us with a lower number. 



  

Range and Convenience:
The big issue with these electric cars is the range and with a lithium-ion battery, you can only do so much. The car will have the same issues faced with all battery powered cars, but the range is expected to get up to 220 miles if you're able to get near a supercharger you can turn it around and drive another 220 miles in 90 minutes time. Top speed is expected to be 155 mph but that is not something you would want to hold on to in an electric car as power quickly dies down. 

   

In all we expect promising results from this newcomer and a wave of new electric vehicles to get the Tesla in trouble, REAL TROUBLE.
