The progressive entry into the luxury electric car sector, monopolized for some time now by Tesla, by companies such as Jaguar or Porsche reveals the makings of an interesting phenomenon: the new approaches designers can make once the restrictions are removed related to the complexity, weight or safety requirements of gasoline engines give way to new specifications as simpler, smaller engines allow more space for other uses.

One of the first things you notice about a Tesla is the size of its two trunks, its impressive performance and silence while driving, factors that raise the bar for other high-end manufacturers: there is no point in Jaguar or Porsche launching electric vehicles with significantly lower performance in terms of acceleration or autonomy, which Tesla has succeeded in stretching to levels nobody imagined. Both the Jaguar I-Pace and the Porsche Mission E, with their 4.8 and 3.5 seconds zero to 100 kph and 480 km and 500 km of autonomy respectively, are worthy rivals in their categories of the Tesla Model X (3.1 seconds and 565 km) or Model S (2.7 seconds and 594 km) — but not the Tesla Roadster, still to be produced, with its expected 2.1 seconds and 1,000 km of autonomy — showing that the traditional big beasts of the luxury sector are taking the electric vehicle seriously.
