Getting seriously tempted by the i-Pace

It is entirely relevant to the discussion. If the M3 is at least 18 months away (as stated already), so there is some known, competitor's cars could become a big factor in whether people choose the M3. The i-pace is one of those competitors.
Maybe already mention in this thread but according to this German article the I Pace will have 120 kW ccs and in Germany it will cost "under 80k€" wish is about the same as Tesla Model S.if it possible to use that as a measurement to get the cost in other countries is hard to say but I belive that because of import taxes and shipping cost I-Pace will probably cost more then Model S 75 in US.of course that's with todays price, who know what battery and at what cost Tesla will offer Model S next year.

The I-Pace competes with the Model X/S...not the Model 3. The base I-Pace is going to cost more than twice the base Model 3...

It's a concept.
It will have more space than the F-Pace inside and that's a 5 seater.
It will likely get an equivalent of supercharging through CCS -
It's a Jaguar, so it will handle better than most EVs
Range, we'll have to find out.
Remember, the competition is ICE vehicles, not really other EVs, to the general population
In the UK, EVs aren't doing exceptionally well, but as JLR is high profile, it will change all that.

Here's an interior shot of the new Jaguar Sport Brake. Taste is individual, but I find this cabin on the busy side of all right (compared to over-the-line stark for the Model 3), but still good and a clearly a very nice place to be.

If you have a VR headset (Vive or Rift), check out the I-Pace app. Marketing tool, but it's pretty neat. Lets you sit in the car.
Still near 0 experience building electric vehicles. I think it will take more than one iteration before getting something that sticks on the wall.
Think about the Nissan Leaf, even the tesla roadster.. it was not all smooth when they started. I don't think I know a single instance of a non tesla EV that has not massively depreciated. I would be very concerned at the idea of paying something like 60,000 pounds for something like that.
If you decide to buy a new vehicle I would urge you to lease, not purchase. If you drive too much and can't lease I strongly recommend you go with tesla or maybe the Chevy bolt. Maybe a luxury plug in hybrid?
My 2 cents. Made similar comments a few years back with Microsoft surface tablets and first android phones. It took more than one iteration before getting something descent over Apple
@xav-
I agree, but if it wasn't for us risk takers buying the early Tesla Model S's, they'd have folded
Ironically in some ways the IPace is a more attractive car to me just because I'm an early adopter by nature.
As for leasing, I probably won't. I never finance. If I can't afford it cash, I don't buy it. ( A simple life rule, but one that has generally served me well). I'm definitely going in to this completely eyes open though, well aware that everything bar Tesla to date has been a depreciation disaster. At the end of the day it's an amount of money I'm prepared to gamble.

Depends how long the leash isA car with a leash will never compete with the supercharger network. But if someone wants to drop $50k+ on a leashed I-Pace, that's not my problem
Personally If I drive south, west or east, I am in the ocean even in a Model S 60. Despite Elon's claims of the Model S floating AFAIK it is not amphibious

*awaits backlash as has happened on numerous other occasions on numerous other forums over the years, as people hate the research reality because they cannot accept that people are not the same, neurobiologically*
Agree in general, but their participation in formula E will help develop the battery / engine know-how. Just like a lot of tech used first in Formula One trickles down to ICE cars eventually.
Competition is good, and knowing Jaguar their interior will be superb. The more compelling EVs the better - 2020 we may have quite a number to choose from.
Good call, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. If I didn't already have a Tesla, I'd probably me making the same decision.OP ordered a model S
I wish you the best with your new purchase.
