Good luck with the supercharging infrastructure that hasn't been rolled out yet.

Oh, man, is he going to be in for a surprise when he needs to recharge: "We’ll also use it when we travel to see family during the holidays." and "I didn’t know much about EV technology before buying the I-PACE."

Realistically this guy probably has another car for longer trips (like running from Hurricanes) in a year or two Electrify America will likely enable 100kw charging all over that part of the country

I like the iPace, especially compared to the eTron and EQC.

He wasn't going to buy a tesla anyhow, so it's not like this is a lost sale for tesla.

I don't know how anyone thinks that car looks better than a Tesla.

"I didn’t know much about EV technology before buying the I-PACE."

That's okay. Neither did Jaguar before they made it.

 

[bhzmark]

Congrats to him and welcome to the EV club.

 

[HookBill]

Frankly, who cares.

your not going very far with that car, say around the city with it

It has a clunky ICE car front on it, no need for all that frontal area.

And people complained about Tesla playing tricks on dates - delivering only 30 cars "on time". How much do you want to bet i-Pace's won't be generally available in the US until 2019? But now they can officially say they started deliveries in the fall of 2018.

"When we go out to dinner with the family I can’t fit everybody in the F-TYPE so having the I-PACE available, with its space and luxury, will be great. We’ll also use it when we travel to see family during the holidays."


Hope your family lives no more than 80 miles from you or has a charger at there for you.

 

[Words of HABIT]

How often does this guy need to say "I'm not a fan of Tesla". He spent more time talking about Tesla than Jaguar. No figure.

Knock that down to half that if they need to travels somewhere where it’s cold during the holidays...... not that they can get there in the first place

Well, we know one thing... with all those Jaguars in his past car history, he's got to be a real masochist...!

On the plus side, he's probably already got a good selection of the obligatory nets that must be dragged behind a Jag to collect the parts falling off...

Better than the Model S not exterior wise, maybe interior. Better than Model X exterior, yup. True it wont have a Tesla equivalent Supercharger network but there are a lot of DC fast charging stations (at least in CA, not sure about FL). Everyone has their own pref and obviously a "competing" brand on a Tesla forum will get bashed primarily. Im sure people are loving it on the Jag forum...

I was following Tesla closely before they had their first SuperCharger.
