I read this as not going to EV like the other thread but shutting down the entire company?

I mean, I wouldn’t call this confirmation of anything. “News reports suggest” and “My guess is” is not exactly confirmstion language. Sounds like another version of the rumours to me.

Even if it's just hearsay and rumour mongering at the moment I'm still sticking by my prediction from some four or five months ago - some time in the next five to ten years and maybe sooner TATA will split Jaguar off from JLR and sell it, most likely to a Chinese buyer.

I did say possible confirmation, and the text is supposedly a direct copy of an email from a staff member at a JLR dealership which gives it some credence I reckon.

You’ve always been the voice of reason (with excellent command of the English language)—along with many other forum members—but I nominate @GGG to head the operation***. Who will second me?
***On second thought, he’s too smart to want to.
I’d add that it’s a sad state of affairs at Jaguar but I kinda recognized that a long time ago.

When this Ponzi scheme financial system finally gives way, re-introducing real money is going to re-define EVERYTHING.

That letter smacks of a disgruntled person whose Jaguar business got pulled out from under them. It doesn't mean they know anything about the future of Jaguar, and are probably not in any position to know.
Personally, I DO worry about the brand's future. We can only hope OzXFR's prediction comes true. If the Indians can't sell it to the Chinese, I don't see how the transition plan ends well. Whether it hangs in with a new owner, TBD. Jaguar carries a premium perception - but also a troubled one. Anything from China is going to face headwinds in the non-Chinese markets. And, there's a lot of competition queued up from other brands (who are already suffering from the slowing adoption of EV's). Sad.

Can I have my five year salary up front with some sort of golden parachute clause in case I get fired?

If Tata does spin off Jaguar to China, it would be an open invitation for the Communist China Party (CCP) to install spy devises in all Autos especially those sold in this country.
I'm not trying to be an alarmist, but it's a very real possibility. They don't like us and can very easily do us harm that way.

Automakers Are Sharing Consumer Information
"Driving habits isn’t the only data that can be collected and shared by automakers. Last year, a report by Mozilla made headlines last year where it revealed a 17-page list of the type of information that cars can collect from users through its features. The list starts off normal but gets more disturbing toward the end when it is revealed that cars can collect information such as; facial geometric features, behavioral characteristics, biological characteristics, sex life or sexual orientation information, sexual activity, genetic data, religion or creed, philosophical beliefs, etc."
Of course, they may get more information on the sex stuff if you have a back seat.

If Jaguar can't figure it out, they should fail.
