Electrek’s Take
I’m perplexed about Jaguar I-Tempo gross sales. I knew that manufacturing can be considerably restricted, however I believed it could be increased 6 months into manufacturing.
In our Electrek Overview of the Jaguar I-Tempo, we famous that the car is gorgeous however it has some points, like charging, effectivity and the person interface.
Regardless of these points, I feel the I-Tempo ought to promote comparatively nicely based mostly on its efficiency and design alone.
I feel it is going to be fascinating to comply with the gross sales of the I-Tempo over the subsequent few months, particularly as new electrical autos hit the market, like Audi e-tron and the Mercedes-Benz EQC.
