Jaguar doesn't say "premium" to me. With all their electrical issues in the past, I'll be staying far away from an electric Jaguar.

  A self driving jag or land rover is high up on my 'eff it, I'll just walk' meter.

  You cannot compare Jaguar back then with today. Both Jaguar and Land Rover have been owned by Tata for a while now and today both companies produce state of the art vehicles with proper electrics. They mostly carry the name and a bit of the company tradition over from the past, but little else.

    Tata's not exactly premium either https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tata_Nano https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tata_Nano

      They are an industry giant (e.g. large steel production). Since they took control over Jaguar and Land Rover, both companies have produced quite high quality cars.

  As a counter point from someone not in the car scene - Jaguar represents high speed luxury to me. And if shown a Jaguar and a Tesla, I'd gravitate towards the Jaguar on looks alone. My (possibly incorrect) thinking being "how can I trust a car which can't even get the panel gaps even to provide a safe ride at high speeds?" FWIW.

    EV E-Type anyone?

      Jaguar already did an electric conversion of a classic e-type: https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/7/16265888/jaguar-e-type-zero-electric-car-announced https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/7/16265888/jaguar-e-type-zer...

  Not sure if you're in the US, but here in the UK, and indeed across Europe, Jaguar is very much a premium brand.
