Probably will not save you anything meaningful if you live in Long Island/NYC area ($0.23/KWH delivered), unless you can S/C as part of your normal daily driving routine. Regarding scheduled maintenance, statements such as "there is no oil or other fluids to change or upkeep" is misleading...

How can that be, if the P85 power is already limited by battery discharge rate (internal impedance, chemistry, etc.) Unless we are talking different battery tech/architecture, or frunk stuffed with more batteries.

For real life numbers, I would take into consideration charging efficiency (~84%), and vampire drain (~4KWH/day ). Assigning 63% of the daily vampire drain to the 110 mi section,That brings the total energy usage for that 110mi stretch to ~50KWH. That translates to ~88mpg, which is still very...

I choose to live and learn: It is not Jaguar specific. Ford has experienced issues. The relevant statistic would be accidents caused by tire blowout. One poster on this board experienced a sudden loss of tire pressure but the TPMS unit was destroyed in the incident. The remains did show...

Thanks, for your kind reply. That's what I'm trying to do - 'get myself mentally on the MS train'. But, as you said, I need to understand the limitations as they apply to my driving cycles. I'm sure I'll get hooked after a test drive, being a car guy and being addicted to high power /...

Absolutely yes, reference is my Jaguar dealer and our forums. my XF supercharged has those plastic caps, and on the Jag forum it was discussed at length by the technicians who explains the mechanics of these failures on super low profile tires. Also, the plastic caps should not be too tight on...

Don't replace those 'cheesy' plastic wheel stem caps!!!!!!!!. they are designed to blow out in case of a major pothole, failure of the valve, instead of the tire blowing thru the side wall. BEWARE

I don't believe a 'smart' key will allow you to lock the car from the outside, if the key is inside.

15.5MPG overall is not bad, still above the EPA city rating of 15. This is Long Island traffic, and I drive about 70% around towns with many stop signs, lights, etc. Also, North shore is very hilly terrain. ( best place to safely open this thing up is going up hill). I can see having to drive...

The XF first came out in 2009, so design is older than MS. For me - Both my XFs proved to be all the things Jaguar are supposed to be very good at, + (surprising some people but not me) excellent reliability, sweet drive train and engine, very good highway millage if you drive efficiently, very...

I said it's comparable, but for the details of it: according to C&D, test my car has a 0-60mph of 4.3 seconds, so not slower than the S85P. In addition, mine has the ECU upgrade which brought it up to XFR-S tune, certainly it's a sleeper beast now with 540HP. That's neither here nor there, I...

I'm fascinated with the S85Performance version. I'm in Long Island, currently loving my (second) XF supercharged which in my mind probably inspired the design of the S in many ways.... What would/could deter me from going with the S for my next car? 1) Range: I travel to NJ at least twice a...
