They did show a 75D and 100D and have to wonder if they were uncorked or not. I wasn't impressed by their battery or recharge time. And I do believe they expect Jaguar owners to charge on the systems being developed by other non-Tesla competitors. Haven't heard Jaguar's name in any of those groups.
The Verge had some nice photos of the car in their article. Jaguar’s I-Pace is a speedy dual-motor Model X competitor No where in the various articles I looked at did I see photos of the trunk or frunk (or froot, tomato tomatoe). The cargo space is less than a MS from what I read and maybe why it was never in a photo. I think people who love buttons and dials and HUD might like their car. Funny I've grown to see a lot of this as clutter but probably wouldn't have had we not owned our Tesla. The buttons and such are pared down from other cars I've seen that look more like a cockpit. I did like that they gave you an option of faux or real leather and it looked the seats might have been ventilated (which I am SO sorry Tesla eliminated both on their cars). Their sideview mirrors look like the same ones Tesla uses (at least from a distance to me).
What I didn't like about the car at first impression: the "grill", the front hood vent, the side windows--the placement of the two smaller windows for the rear and back seem ugly and look very noticeable--the rear one you might even notice the framing when you turn your head to see outside, I'm not a crossover fan so don't care for the fin off the back or that shark fin on the top, the back looks very square and van-like and actually the front is rather boxy as well. I was also struck by the shape of the glass roof, very unusual and a rock chip up there -- an expensive one-piece repair. Can I say I really don't like their badging as well? One of my relatives bought a Jaguar (it was black and sexy looking with the emblem on the hood) and it was always in the shop, expensive maintenance, said it was the worst car he bought. I know they have had their reliability problems. In any event the I-Pace is not something I would even venture into a showroom to see so Tesla doesn't have to worry about losing us as customers.
