The writer seems to have a bad case of buyer's regret over his F-Type purchase. Poor guy, I really feel for him ;-) He made a poor purchase decision.
Quote: "The electric charging infrastructure is pathetic compared to gas, the fully loaded car exceeds $100,000 and it represents a massive risk to anyone who buys it. Rather than go under, though, Tesla has grown faster than the rest of the market, its customer loyalty is far higher, and its car has been rated the best in the world ahead of cars and firms that have been in the car business for more than a century."
When I placed my order last September I did not think I was taking a "massive risk". But maybe I wasn't being objective enough and was simply overwhelmed by the sheer awesomeness of what Tesla was producing. Which apparently that writer missed somehow.
This suggests that a traditional car company such as Jaguar that adopted and integrated key Tesla practices could become the most successful car company in the world
Same here. No meat in this article.I was disappointed because he doesn't actually give a single concrete example of his claim that it's all about the data analytics.
I liked the article, thanks for posting it, and I didn't really disagree with him. The infrastructure for ICEs vs an EV is not exaggerated I don't think (and it is changing and we don't need as many SuperChargers as we need gas stations for a long time if ever) and the lack of a local station for "fuel" is not a problem IF there are SuperChargers out there near where you need them. I have only test driven EVs (Leaf, Tesla) and I have range anxiety. I will have to drive out of my way to get "fuel" when I travel (but never near home).
After coming back from a Costco run the other day, this conversation ensued with my wife:I think most folks felt like that before purchasing, but after driving it for a while, you come to realize that there is actually have more range anxiety when driving an ICE car. Even when there aren't Superchargers, there are always RV parks, and often hotels or B&Bs have overnight charging. You normally never have to go out of your way to charge.

I don't know, somehow - even though I have the same feeling of this being a fluff article - I think we're making a mistake to think of his article as being about Jaguars or Teslas at all. Look at the context: it's an IT fluff piece in an IT emag (which I profess to be ignorant of). My guess is he's pitching "data analytics" (no idea of who would pay for that, btw) and could have substituted any flashy chrome for the auto brands.
"where's the meat?" indeed.
