As someone who owns a 3 I really think you guys should think twice before ordering this jaguar suv.
The range of that thing is in $35k model 3 territory (its even worse with the lack of supercharging network).. its stunning that they can only achieve 240 miles for a mini suv and a gigantic 90 kWh battery.. just that alone screams that something is messed up.
As a Californian (we normally get EVs first) who has waited 26 month and a day for a Model 3 without even being asked to order, I ordered the Jaguar because I did think twice. Heck, I was already going to spend 'Corvette' money on the Model S, so why not get something nice.
The battery capacity is 84.7kWh and it's permanent magnet tech, with the newer euro WLTP range of 398km, it should need to get 3.5 miles per kWh to reach 300 miles of range. I'm guessing that will be doable. Charging at newer DCFCs will be 80% in 40 minutes. We will see.
The Model 3 comparably equipped will be $62k or more. But it won't have as much amenities. So the Jaguar it's $24k more. What does that get you?
More Service Centers. Jaguar Land Rover support. Ability to use it on mild fireroads (20" of water crossing, 9.5" ground clearance, creep-mode cruise control, Land Rover AdSR traction system, anti-rollover system), ice/snow escape, 99 mph AEB, 112 mph autosteering and ACC, digital fully adjustable shocks + air suspension, longer wheelbase, wider track, better suspension for superior ride and handling. 4.5s to 60 mph, more cargo room, and uniqueness. There will only be a few Photon Red i-Paces ever built, they are Jaguars. Quick like a Porsche Turbo Macan, but $25k less after rebates. The Jags are advertised as being good road cars, letting the press drive on road courses and AutoX's, but also Land Rover brothers. It tightens up the steering, lowers the car, alters the throttle tip-in, and stiffens the suspension for road work, based on your cellphone presence for each driver. Or you lift it up, set it for trail use, and use it like a entry level Land Rover.
It's a different kind of car than a Tesla with similar range. But it is all EV.
