I currently have an Ipace on order
Why are you having to wait for one? There are over 250 on sale in Autotrader, most only have a few Ks on the dash but offer a decent saving compared to new.gangzoom said:

Is it Mazda that’s moving away from having everything done via a screen now, for safety reasons?
The safety thing with screens is rubbish, Model S has been using the screens since 2012 in the US. If there was a real safety issue with touch screens the lawyers would have pulled Tesla to pieces by now.+ behaviours in the US could be a poor safety indicator, seeing as texting while driving isn't even illegal in many states!!

You dont need to touch the screen much whilst moving.
Auto lights, auto wipers, voice commands etc.
its not like you are making adjustments every few seconds.

Auto car like theirs, but why so many on autotrader? I guess the adds must be free or next to free so might as well advertise for a premium I guess.

I know they are not pitted against each other - but I need boot space and they are both perfect for my dogs (unlike the Tesla 3)
And I get the price is different and if you have Jag budget you can't get the Tesla....but if you have Tesla budget you could get the Jag...and I wanted to, if only because I've never had a Jag.
But after a day with the iPace (top marks to Jag for their test drive process.....sent an email, car turns up few days later and they come back to get it at the end of the day - no hard sell, no soft sell......er....no sell, they just quietly gave me a car for a day!) I can't get over the lack of excitement.
I gave it back thinking "hmm...nice quick car" - I gave the Tesla back thinking I'd just been for a ride in a fking spaceship.
And to nail down the coffin.....my snowflake leftie kids (who all think my V8 AMG is a noisey lump killing the planet) think getting a Tesla makes me the coolest dad in the world. Getting a Jag, doesn't.
Being a Tesla salesman just seems to be a process of saying.....when these lights change from red, plant your foot.....sold another one boss.
With "regular" cars it tends to be the case that cheaper ones are slower than fast ones so you have to start slow (as a youngster) and steadily build up to "fast" by getting marginally faster cars along the way. It strikes me that now almost anyone can get in a "fking spaceship" via Tesla which surely will end in a fireball / disaster as the driver will likely not have built up to that speed over decades? Perhaps just me, again.And I get the price is different and if you have Jag budget you can't get the Tesla....but if you have Tesla budget you could get the Jag...and I wanted to, if only because I've never had a Jag.

...US reports suggest JLR only sold 160 iPaces in the US this month. Which if true is shockingly low.
Why aren't people buying the iPace?
Jaguar's reputation of being unreliableWhy aren't people buying the iPace?
Too expensive
Zero charging infrastructure
Slow charging speed
