Jaguar also has a fantastic electric CUV in the i-Pace. It has been on sale in Europe for nearly 18 months and in the US for a year now. Perhaps the Tatas could launch it in India like they had promised to? It is a lovely car and better to drive than comparable Teslas. And, India is fine without Teslas. There are several other brands that now build electric cars including Mercedes, Audi, BMW-Mini, Volvo-Polestar etc in addition to Porsche and Jaguar. India could look at other alternatives while Tesla makes it’s mind up. Kudos to Porsche for bringing their very latest car in the Taycan to India just a few months after it will be launched in the US. This is proof of how much the company values the Indian market.
