Tesla Model X versus 2019 Jaguar I-Pace

[Agassi]

Hi All

We have started looking at the EV SUVs and really excited about new Model Y.
Here is our first take on the new 2019 Jaguar I-Pace:

Let us know what you think.

Nice write up. I-Pace is more Model 3 in size. Model X is significantly larger and more capable. Also more expensive

You might want to look at some of the reviews on youTube. The iPace seems to really eat juice.

 

[TexasTeslaRacing]

Definitely not as efficient. Tesla’s better tech is 3-5 years ahead of the competition.

Also why do people keep putting the i pace against the MX it’s like two different segments SUV vs crossover?

I pace and model Y, now that I can buy.

No Y available to test and compare. There were a lot of Model S/X versus Bolt comparisons before the Model 3 shipped.

I have both the Jaguar i-Pace and the Model X. I had to drive to California in the Jaguar and I had to draft semi trucks to be able to make it to the Blythe "fast" charger. It only charged at 40kWh and it took two hours (two sessions) to get enough energy to continue to drive. I made it to California in 9 hours where it only takes me 7.5 hours in the Model X. On the way back, the charger I used previously wasn't working. I had to plug into a free chargepoint charger (11 hours) and I stayed at a local dive for $50. At 5 am the next morning, I walked to the Jaguar, unplugged it and drove home. I had to take back roads and I arrived with 3 miles remaining. Stay away from the Jaguar until the charging infrastructure has been vastly improved. I'm trying unload the Jag and I am having a really hard time selling it.

I noticed today this article in the green car reports where the driver experienced big fluctuations
in the SoC display and remaining range indication which raised quite some range anxiety.

i did an overnight test drive in the I-Pace...not the best bang for your buck and the only thing comparable to the Model X is the price.

also the sales staff...LOL!

 

[Bridor]

I didn't see any fluctuations and I was able to get to Blythe with 50 miles remaining. However, I had the climate system off for both trips. I would imagine that if you are using the climate system, you would not be able to make it that far. At the end of my trip home, I was going a little bit fast as I still had some miles - hence why I only had 3 miles remaining - I pushed the envelope!

how are the adaptive cruise control and auto-steer systems in the iPace?

how are the adaptive cruise control and auto-steer systems in the iPace?

they are horrific and borderline not useable unless possibly on a long straights stretch? the nagging is also a PITA

 

[Bridor]

Actually, the steering wheel has sensors, so I put the steering column down really low and rested my left hand on the side of the steering wheel and it never nagged me. It is not as good as the Tesla autopilot system, so keeping your hand on the wheel is a must. For example, when there was a line on the right side of the road and I was in the right most lane, there came a time when there were no lines on the left side. For some reason, the car started to go to the left - it should have hugged the right side line.

The I-Pace is not in the same size class as the Model X. It’s a little thing.

 

[Sparkle Bear]

We went to look at the Jag. They charge you for every little thing. Manual trunk is standard. Heated seats are an add. And the car is just not as impressive looking as I expected from a Jag. And the staff were crap so it was an easy pass for us.

Never realized how small Ipace actually is. Figured it was just a bit smaller than the X. Thanks for the pic. Really can't compare to the X it seems. Definitely a model Y competitor

The staff was crap because in most traditional dealerships they prefer you not buy an EV. EVs drive trains are simple (30 or so moving parts vs. over 1000) so they don't break as often. That means no need to buy a high margin extended maintenance contract, or come in for routine services like oil changes, transmission service, cooling system flushes, belt replacement, etc. These are the two of the biggest money makers for the dealership, sales people. and maintenance service writer/sales rep.

 

[Peteybabes]

... cooling system flushes...

this is needed every 4 years...
