Dave Larsen Talks Jaguar Land Rovers Commitment to Electric by 2020
Jaguar Land Rover launched its 2019 Range Rover at the LA Auto Show this week. Alyssa Julya Smith caught up with Jaguar Land Rover's Product Planning Manager Dave Larsen to check out some of the cool features on the new model, including hot stone massage chairs in the back seat.
The vehicle is part of the Autobiography collection and the cost can be more than $200,000 for the fully loaded version of the Range Rover. Larsen showed off some of the other features, including 17-plug ports, and automatic doors that open and close with the push of a button.
Larsen also touched on Jaguar's commitment to electric vehicles, and where he thinks the industry will be in the next 20 years. He says that he thinks electric will be the new standard and hybrid cars will be the norm, with many going full electric.

A Michigan judge is putting sponges in the hands of shoplifters and ordering them to wash cars in a Walmart parking lot when spring weather arrives. Genesee County Judge Jeffrey Clothier hopes the unusual form of community service discourages people from stealing from Walmart. The judge also wants to reward shoppers with free car washes. Clothier says he began ordering “Walmart wash” sentences this week for shoplifting at the store in Grand Blanc Township. He believes 75 to 100 people eventually will be ordered to wash cars this spring. Clothier says he will be washing cars alongside them when the time comes.
The State Department had been in talks with Elon Musk’s Tesla company to buy armored electric vehicles, but the plans have been put on hold by the Trump administration after reports emerged about a potential $400 million purchase. A State Department spokesperson said the electric car company owned by Musk was the only one that expressed interest back in May 2024. The deal with Tesla was only in its planning phases but it was forecast to be the largest contract of the year. It shows how some of his wealth has come and was still expected to come from taxpayers.
