The dealership called me today - they have received some "questions" from Jaguar before they can proceed with fixing the car which I needed to answer, some of which were a little strange e.g. "where did I go when I last used the car?"
Trying to get out of a warranty claim by checking if your last trip was 'essential'?

Does seem an odd question though, be interested to hear their reason for asking it.
Well my Etron needs to go back to the dealer and as they have furloughed people , the very earliest they may have an HV technician back at work is ...... the 11th May . Let's hope the I Pace keeps going or I may need to tax a petrol car , not that we are doing any miles at the moment .
Ours has been ok no faults so far.
A real shame with whats going on that its sat here doing nothing. In September someone is going to get a great deal as the car is going to be sub 3k miles and 18 months old.
Still debating on weather to keep it for an extra 12 months but with whats going on with the economy its £5k that I could perhaps use better elsewhere.

Could just be customer survey type stuff Does seem an odd question though, be interested to hear their reason for asking it.
P38 Range Rovers used to get upset by phone masts and certain frequencies, didn’t they? Maybe trying to work out if anything like that has upset it?

Yes, before all of this covid stuff happened, I spoke with the finance company and they confirmed I can continue to lease the car on an "informal extension" basis for as long as I like at the same price e.g. circa £400 / month.A real shame with whats going on that its sat here doing nothing.

Or I can agree a formal extension which upped the cost by quite a bit.
Hence I will just keep the car once we get to September for another year or so. I do quite like the look of those model Y's so that might be available some time next year.

166 miles a month, I'm doing more than that on my pedal bike!!A real shame with whats going on that its sat here doing nothing. In September someone is going to get a great deal as the car is going to be sub 3k miles and 18 months old.

£400/month that £2.4 per mile, surely you could run something far more exciting than an iPace for that £/mile cost.

I think they’re a lovely looking car and I really enjoyed the drive. I decided to wait for these lease deals to expire with a plan to picking one up but JLR like Tesla just aren’t particularly good at screwing cars together and linking the components together in the same bulletproof manner that much higher volume manufacturers can.

Definitely wouldn't want to run with one without a warranty, which is such a shame as they are very good cars. Once the lease deals start to get handed back in September, they are going to be getting almost cheap imo. You can already buy a lower spec one for around £45k. I think they will be below £40k once we get to the Autumn, for a car which will be around 18 months old.

But who is going to swallow the brave pill when you could buy a new Zoe, eNiro, Leaf etc etcDriving around in new RR for the last few days (which I know isn't that similar to an i-pace in size etc) but it reminded me how far behind clunky diesels are, even in a new expensive vehicle, vs a good electric car.
If they do get to £40k (for a lower spec car), you are still getting a superb car, with excellent performance, which is very comfortable and will still have 18 months warranty.
Having driven most of the "cheap" runabout cars like Leaf, Zoe etc. they are nowhere close to the i-pace in terms of how they make you feel about driving them. Just need to take account of the costs of an extended warranty when it gets to three years old.

Agree! We bought and iPace in early March with the intention that I would use that to commute to work but it was technically my wife's car, we'd share my 3 year old, 40k miles RR Sport as required. When all the Covid stuff hit I 'furloughed' the RR as we're not doing much so I've been tooling about in the iPace..
I moved the RR at the weekend, my fond recollection of it was suddenly shattered. Still we'll keep it: it has a set of 20" wheel with Grabber AT3s and when the winter comes, it will prove a necessity. I just won't bother putting the summer boots on!

Find me something
Brand new
400bhp
4x4 and capable of driving on wet muddy farm tracks
Cheap to run
There isn't much else IMHO.
We ran a Macan before the iPace and that did the job technically better than the jag but cost a considerable % more.
My own personal car is an A6 Allroad which also does the job very well and that's something we might consider to replace the iPace.

Does £2.40/mile qualify as cheap to run? 
The main issue I had with the cheap lease deal was that the mileage restriction meant that the economies of EV just couldn’t be brought to near as you just couldn’t use the thing.
The over contract mileage rate is £0.29/mile. Not cheap, but neither too expensive to worry about vs the main cost of this type of car which is depreciation. The main issue I had with the cheap lease deal was that the mileage restriction meant that the economies of EV just couldn’t be brought to near as you just couldn’t use the thing.
At the time, I thought the depreciation over 18 months was going to about £18k. In fact I think is going to end up over £20k (in just 18 months).
