Collecting Addicts podcast earlier, they said it's 50k excess on insurance policies for RR products, if you are lucky enough to even get insurance.

Don't see Toyotas or Lexus's (or is it Lexi? lol) going up randomly and they've been doing hybrids for 27 years lol

Unless JLR products (if it was in fact the cause) send real time data back to the factory, we will not know for a number of weeks the ignition source until the Fire Investigators complete their investigation.
Was it an Amazon Ranger Rover?

Welcome to the internet
Haha brilliant - still at JLR to the end of the month
Agree entirely on the investigation needing to be completed
Speculation on the Powertrain type in the car etc is just that and there is no reason to assume it’s anything to do with which any electrified systems at all at this stage
Also a lot of exaggerations on the insurance front being posted as well - yes it’s increased but talk of 50k is just nonsense

Remember when the tin foil hat wearer's were all saying that "burning jet fuel" wouldn't cause the twin towers to collapse, yet here's a partial collapse due to petrol?diesel fuel burning (and ev's) lol
How does it come about that the manufacturer gets involved in something like this? When’s it not just put down to an accident and dealt with by insurance?
Insurers, police and fire service will typically ask the OEM to aid with investigations
You'll be gone in a couple weeks, perfect scapegoat
"oh it was mk2drivers fault...." be a good excuse for 6 months

Don’t let facts get in the way of a good story.
I heard factually, that the EV’s had all been parked on the same floor calmly charging, and the hybrid RR was sent in and on a suicide mission by the ICE cars to make sure they got blamed.
I've been quoted 5k excesses but with a 200% increase in premium.
Would love to arrive home to find it has gone on fire already and buy a Landcruiser instead

next year might be a different story. Maybe only RR and not LR affectedjust renewed in sept for £490 and £300 excess
That's a brilliant price! I had thought it was just the range rover sports were easily stolen, but clearly not.
I've tried everything, "tweaking" the profession, putting it in her name, using my max no claims on it instead of the Yaris, but can't get it below £1200 which I'm struggling to justify.

London seems to be a different story for defenders. That was my renewal quote, it was £390 last year. I tried shopping around and £800 was the going rate. That’s with mods and 10k

That's double the spontaneously combusting Tesla!
My 2005 Range Rover is £563 this year and £250 excess. That's with Admiral multicar and it is up from last year. Last year with the Range Rover and my wife's Mini it was £800 total, now over £1k with no reason except that "we are in a cost of living crisis and everything is more expensive". That's what the advisor told me when I called to discuss the renewal.

Direct Line. Renewed in March so I'm half expecting a massive jump come 2024. AXA wouldn't even quote me, said 5 years NCD on a group 50 car.
