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.

It looks like it’s from Batman: The Animated Series which is cool.
Until you realize something that long would be totally impractical.
It’s the basic shape of one of the Batmobiles, but without any of the details that made it interesting.
Like pitching a movie based on the “Titanic” but the boat makes it to port safely–completely missing the point.
It’s very much a car for people to be driven around in.
The back doors are far too small for that.
It will be driven from one underground garage into the next, or to courtyard entrances. This is not meant to be parked in the streets.
