AI Summary

Jaguar announced its first all‑electric model, the Type 01, after a 2024 rebrand that initially featured no cars. The company first unveiled a prototype, the Type 00, in December 2024, sparking intense online debate and backlash that led to staff being targeted for “betraying” Jaguar’s heritage. The polarizing launch prompted several high‑level exits, including chief creative officer Gerry McGovern, who had approved the controversial design and no‑car advertising campaign. The Type 01 is positioned as Jaguar’s biggest gamble in its electric transition.
