Switching from TM3 to Jaguar I-Pace

260 wh/km is very high. You drive a similar speed on a model 3 with aero wheels you’ll probably average 240 - 250 watts per MILE.. so 160 wh/km.

Well, this is not surprising. The two cars are different in drag coefficient (iPace 0.29 vs M3 0.23), weight (iPace 2130kg vs M3 1800kg) and wheel size (iPace 245/50R20 vs M3 235/40ZR19).

Note also that the 260Wh/km I mentioned was with the heating on (outside temperature, as far as I remember, was about 6-7 deg C).

Tesla is making a CCS adaptor for European S and X's so I guess it's not really disallowed.

Tesla confirms Model 3 is getting a CCS plug in Europe, adapter coming for Model S and Model X

There has been talk that hardware will need to be changed out in the S&X to support the adapter. So it is possible that Tesla found a loop-hole to get around the rule that people have talked about. (I'm thinking that the adapter will just be a dumb connector adapter with no electronics, and that all the smarts will have to get put into the car. But until official details get released we just won't know.)

What’s the iPace towing capacity?

The guy likes his I-Pace better than the Tesla. It's still a decent EV. Who the hell are we to tell him that he's wrong? It's not as if he switched to a gas guzzling monstrosity.

Thank you S’toon.
Well, I still love my MS and I am still looking forward for many years of use and long journeys.
The iPace is simply different.

I wonder if that’s a UK feature. I have server land rovers where incontrol touch pro and the hardware can run CarPlay they just haven’t allowed it. Wonder if that will change.
