Our ipace came in and we drove it home a few days ago. The interior is gorgeous, especially with the extended leather. Seats are comfy and highly adjustable. More lumbar than even I need, and just enough thigh support. Of course the seat is ventilated. Front window defrosts. In Photon Red, the car looks crazy hot. In gray, it's a bit dull. The stereo is excellent. Getting anything more for a car would be silly. It does outdo the last Model X premium i tried out, but quite a bit. Clear, loud, and with some eq, bassy. The ride is stunningly good, and it handles on proverbial rails. It doesn't feel fat on a twist road, like the Model X does. Regular doors. Plenty of room in the back seat. A massive trunk, unexpectedly so. I was shocked. The frunk is a joke, more for emergency supplies, but with the huge trunk, that doesn't matter. I plan on leaving a larger emergency bag in there, with clothes, water, and food for the whole family. The panoramic roof is huge. I'd rather have a plain roof, TBH, but it's cool. I think we could end of doing a vinyl rap on the roof.
The interior is that of a 90k car. Solid, quiet, and gorgeous. We went black all around. The HUD is super useful, helping keep eyes on the road. I'm a huge fan. Acceleration is strong, strong, strong. It's not as fast a P model, sure, but it's close enough as to not matter. It's already in the "i feel my brain moving inside my skull... ugh!" range.
Almost one pedal driving is cool. The regen breaking is super strong if you choose it that way, and it can slow you to a stop. You just have to learn the distancing. It won't do the stop on an incline, though. In the end, I think using the brake pedal for the last 1mph is fine. Practice may change my mind.
It was delivered with all the tires at 50psi. I cut them down to factory spec. At 50psi, the ride was slightly stiff. Down at the proper psi, the ride cleaned up completely. It's not marshmallow. It's just very pleasant.
The car is much lower than it seems in the pictures. It's quite sedanlike, really. However, there's a setting that raises it for entry, making in and out easy for old fogies.
Android Auto and whatever the stupid Apple people use is built in.
Nit picks:
I wish I could have gotten the 18" wheels on the FE edition, for an even better ride. I bet I'll be able to find some takeoffs pretty cheap from lesser models or other jag models that fit.
I wish the stereo had more bass, but I like my hip hop. Hello Brooklyn! Still an excellent stereo. Not as good as my McIntosh speakers but so what.
A seat massage function might be nice.
There are settings available through steering wheel controls and others through the entertainment interface. I wish they were all available at least one of the ways.
The color is going to get my wife a lot of attention where she works. Not all of it good.
I have to lock the car to make the handles go back in.
The front side view cameras, for pulling out of the driveway into traffic, could perhaps be angled a bit more to 90 degrees. They're a bit too much forward angled.
I spent 90k on a car, and my wife gets to have it.
Why don't they put two charge ports, one on each side of the car?
It'd be nice to have a large, lockable center compartment. Instead, it's large enough for a purse but not lockable.
You have many USB ports but only one works for Android Auto.
