[Jordan - The EV Guy @JordanEVGuy]

Jaguar have done exactly what they said they were going to do.

And people are already missing the point.

Jaguar isn’t trying to build a car for the mass market.

It isn’t trying to compete for buyers looking at a £40,000 family SUV.

It’s deliberately moving Jaguar into a completely different part of the market.

The new Type 01 is expected to sit in the £120,000–£300,000 luxury space, with Jaguar openly talking about scarcity and exclusivity.

In other words, they’re targeting the very wealthiest buyers, effectively the top 1%, not the average motorist.

But obviously it will draw scrutiny from the Ford and Vauxhall drivers.

The styling is incredibly bold.

Some people absolutely love it.

Others absolutely hate it.

And Jaguar appears perfectly happy with that.

In fact, Jaguar says its own customer research produced unusually large numbers of both 1/10 and 2/10 scores AND 9/10 and 10/10 scores.

That’s deliberate.

They don’t want to build something safe that everybody thinks is “quite nice”.

They want something distinctive enough that a relatively small number of wealthy buyers absolutely WANT one.

And the specifications certainly aren’t ordinary…

1,030hp, 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds, 450-mile WLTP range, 118kWh usable battery, up to 350kW charging, around 200 miles added in 13 minutes, four individual seats and 23-inch wheels.

Jaguar also expects most Type 01 customers to be completely new to the brand, with North America expected to be its biggest market.

That’s probably the most important context when judging this car.

You might hate it.

You might love it.

I genuinely don’t think Jaguar particularly cares if 99% of us wouldn’t buy one.

Because they’re not trying to sell it to 99% of us.

The new Jaguar Type 01 will look mean in black.
Can’t wait to mess about with the online configurator @Jaguar

[PonyKicker @PonyKicker]

@SawyerMerritt Terrific looking car. It'll undoubtedly do well in China.
Would be interested in seeing how it will fair in the used car market in 5 or so years... I quite fancy owning one if it's affordable.

[PonyKicker @PonyKicker]

Wokey BS advertising campaign aside, I think the new Jaaaag 01 is a genuinely great looking car. One to look out for in the used car market in a few years, after the initial depreciation hammer.

@Fuse_Games Many congrats! Can't wait to play it.

[PonyKicker @PonyKicker]

@VRnights @PlayStation @SWGalacticRacer @Fuse_Games @valvesoftware @LucasfilmGames @Apple @starwars @StefanMaier Absolutely!
Also still waiting for PSVR2 support for Wipeout Omega collection 😄 @PlayStation

[PonyKicker @PonyKicker]

@_adubl_ @patinaresearch I genuinely love driving my EV, and I love driving my Manual ICE. It's possible to enjoy both. Mind-blowing revelation, I know!

[PonyKicker @PonyKicker]

@Dr_Singularity Could I ping-pong between ages 10 and 40 for eternity? That would be a laugh.

[PonyKicker @PonyKicker]

@ZanarGaming Is it possible to mute the competitors voices?

[PonyKicker @PonyKicker]

@DoublepPradhan @SawyerMerritt @Cysong8816 Combination of brand loyalty, and severe lack of research.

@grok @TeslaAUNZ

[PonyKicker @PonyKicker]

@TeslaAUNZ To be expected, as supply to Australia officially shifts from Berlin to Shangai.
Loving this new price - Excellent value.

[PonyKicker @PonyKicker]

As supply for the Model Y Performance in Australia shifts from Giga Berlin to Giga Shangai, we've lost the White interior and Marine Blue paint in exchange for Zen Grey interior and Glacier Blue exterior.

Price point has also dropped significantly. 👍

Old German models in Marine blue and White seats may become somewhat of a collectible in future!

[Tesla Australia & New Zealand @TeslaAUNZ]

Model Y Performance now available at a lower price + two new options:

- Glacier Blue paint
- Zen Grey interior

[PonyKicker @PonyKicker]

@Foxody @TeslaAUNZ Apparently these do have V2L!

[PonyKicker @PonyKicker]

@techAU Bit annoying V2L can't be added to my '26 MY. Missed out by a few months. Handy feature to have.

[PonyKicker @PonyKicker]

@RetiredEnginerd @CyberMikeOG That's more than enough speed. Best setup I've seen so far 👍

[PonyKicker @PonyKicker]

@RetiredEnginerd @CyberMikeOG Looks sweet. How much of a drop in performance was there?

[PonyKicker @PonyKicker]

@YoKeenan10 @SawyerMerritt Yep! :)

[PonyKicker @PonyKicker]

The Model 3 Standard is now available to order in Australia!

I had a good poke around in one when I was back in the UK. IMO, this is the best value Tesla currently available. Even more so than the Model Y Standard, as it still retains the glass roof, waterproof frunk, and centre console design from the Premium model.

Thank you @TeslaAUNZ
