But then, if I understand you correctly, your focus is not really on the "long range" aspect of the iPace. The point I was trying to make was in reference to people/analysts suggesting this is the first long range luxury EV to compete with MS, with stress on long range. Without a robust fast charging network, I doubt the long range aspect is really a competition. The luxury, quietness aspects certainly can be. (Hence this thread, right?)
Aren't there other (hybrid, plugins?) luxury cars that are already in competition in those aspects? iPace is hardly the first there.
Agree that long range is not going to be Jag's best feature. In fact, I would wait to see real life range - if it loses a third of the range in winter that is cutting it a little short even for me.
As for the plug-in hybrids, none I tested came even close to the Tesla acceleration - including the Porsche versions (tried the e-hybrid Panamera). There is always that tiny lag when the turbo has to spool. The Jag is the first to really come closer to the excitement of Tesla driving.
