The ultimate in Poser Mods was a true classic.
First the runner up:
Fast n Furious - "The Nitrous is going to blow!!!" bullets fired in to nitrous bottle make massive explosion. Nitrous is non-flammable.
And the WINNER, from the Land Down Under....
The Road Warrior!!! Fake roots blower on engine turns on with the flip of a switch. Uh... No blower spinning, no engine running. Positive displacement.

I have nothing against Southern America - it produced Deicide, Morbid Angel, Obituary...........& Merle Dixon!
So you are assuming that because they said the regen was up to 0.4g, that it stays at 0.4g the whole time? What if it only maintains that level for 1 second? Did they have a graph like you posted for the other vehicles?
And helped begin the age of nuclear warfare. First sustainable reactor was in Tennessee. They now work on many things, fusion reactors, non-cryo superconductors, etc. The city built there was secret and surrounded by mountains in case of... uh... bad things. They thought they were working on alchemy. Making synthetic copper.
All those graphs are constant decel. Yeah, I think it's weird also, but that's probably the safe way to write software that involves braking.
Like the Model 3, there are no detailed instrumented tests yet on the i-Pace.
Do we now have the EV equivalent of fake adhesive hood scoops?
Yes, clearly there's a good reason for constant regen deceleration, and that's why everyone uses it. The reason they say "up to" .4g is that the driver can use either high or low regen settings, as well as the brake pedal. Apparently, high regen enables 0.2g of regen braking, and an additional 0.2g is available by using the (blended) brake pedal. It's explained in the video linked below, after about the 12:00 mark.
I used to drive the Bolt, and thought the regen was excellent. Apparently the Jag will be similar to the Bolt's high regen setting but without the extra regen paddle (.2g vs .21g for the Bolt), and the remaining .2g will be available only via the brake pedal. Jaguar's approach seems better than Chevy's - the paddle was a bit clumsy. It might be nice to have the full 0.4g available for 'one pedal driving', but perhaps that would just be too powerful; I'm guessing that's why Jag designed it the way they did.
Oh, come on, nobody needs it. It's just for fun.
What would you say about the psychology of people who "feel the need" for Ludicrous mode?
It will be interesting to see if they set it up right. I really hope it has a kW meter easily visible.
The 2 level regen should only apply to the accelerator pedal. For people who want the car to act 'normal' when they lift, gently slowing down. But blended brakes should always be able to max out the regen all by themselves. So .3g from the brakes, and .1g from the accelerator. Or .2g from each.
The i-Pace team was put together (2013) just after the highest management of Jaguar (the owner and iirc, the CEO) had done a tour of the North American dealership network. (2009-2012)The thing the dealers emphasised was the need, across the entire Jag range, for serious winter-driving abilities.
I don't think it's a coincidence that the i-Pace got designed for, and got a a lot of testing in, snowy sub-zero conditions in the Arctic.
- the heat scavenging from the environment (and iirc the motor cooling) is used for cabin and battery heating in sub-zero conditions
- the battery chemistry is not damaged by being left in ambient temperatures down to -40degC/-40degF
- the batteries can be used .charged at ambient -32C/-28F
- there is a battery pre-condition cycle while it's grid-connected
It's claimed that this means the i-Pace retains a high proportion of its range in winter.
Plus
- it's AWD
- it has a special low-speed 'cruise control' for very slippery conditions.
The footage of the i-Pace going up the very steep slope on a loose and dusty track impressed me. Robert Llewellyn did both the up and the downslopes using the special cruise control. (And I presume the others did too)
Plus McRat mentions the regen has antilock, which is cool.

GM's EPA estimate for the Bolt was 200 miles. The final EPA certification was 238 miles.
238 miles is 19% higher than 200 miles.
Jaguars EPA estimate for the i-Pace is currently 220 miles. If they are as cautious as GM were, the Jaguars EPA certified figure would end up as 262 miles.
No, I set up and run social enterprises, generally in children's health.
I've a mild EV obsession and a bad spreadsheet habit,tho'.
Yep, that's all I've posted at TMC. I've always been a lurker on this site til now.
Elsewhere, I also post my predictions of when the Model 3 will hit 5k/week. (IMO, there's a 6% chance of hitting the end of June, and the 50/50 chance mark is third week in July).

Nah...I get the full EPL package and watch most of the week’s fixtures. There are calls on “lads” but a whole bunch of “boys” calls as well (and quite often detailed when mentioning the “black” players). In any event, Europe has issues!
Do you have a specific question? I did a lot of homework before ordering.
The cars are only in the hands of reporters and VIPs at this point. Full production starts in July. Demo cars should be in dealerships in August I'm told. My car should arrive in late Sept supposedly.
If you want a First Edition, you might consider ordering. I'm told they are limited. Each dealer will typically get allocated 1 or 2. If that is true or not, I do not know. The FE is a quick order package with most the options available. It has a unique color that will only be used for the FE in 2019 and discontinued. Photon Red. But if you pay extra, you can get it in black or gray.
