Ipace servicing costs eye watering

2.5 years into an I pace and very very good . First visit for an issue last week ( speakers intermittently stop working ) . Otherwise perfect .

By power boot started to drop a couple of inches after opening - and then eventually gave up and landed on my head as I reached in to grab the charging cable

Also a loose bit of rear arch trim and sometimes the passenger seat memory controls stop working - I blame the useless central computer for that, it's so slow that sometimes the cameras and sensors take over a minute to start working.. even if I'm already trying to manoeuvre

Other than that, by Jag standards, it's been excellent though. I adore the car. I'm also seriously impressed with it's winter weather and mild off-road credentials where I live, I feel I can take it just about anywhere with confidence.

I think to compete moving forwards, the iPace needs more power (ridiculous I know, but look at what the competition are offering now!?) and to improve it's range. It's odd that with such a large battery it can't compete with other EV's of a similar weight. However, for me personally, it's unimportant as it's simply 'enough'.

Tbh, I'd consider getting another one although I'll probably end up with an i4 M50, despite having grown to like the higher driving position in the iPace. If they finally launch an SVR hot version of the iPace, i'd probably go for that.
