Reviewers say the seats are on of the most comfy seats they sit on. Other people are excited other people say awful car. Well preferences it is

@@christosvaid4454 maybe we won’t get to the bottom of it.

Only in long range u have 17 speakers. I believe u have 9 or 12 in the SR model. Still, it's enough from what I've tested

How are those Tesla shares going?

Hard to believe ...

I completely disagree. Nothing to do with ‘compliance’. They did it because they wanted too. I don’t think there was anything to be gained otherwise in introducing an EV. They decided electric was the way to go and came out with a stunner. Since then, well, changes in management and overall direction of JLR has resulted in them heading in a new (but not necessarily good) direction. I hope it works for them, but I’m not holding my breath. They should have improved the I-Pace in important areas, but it is still IMO the best EV of that type available and I will be getting one.

@UKenGB the facts are against you. European cities began enacting regulations that forced manufacturers to produce an ev or be fined. California did the same, Just having an ev avoided penalties..... cheers. I say this while having one, it is OK to admit truethes

@@nosoupforyou425 So what exactly did Jaguar gain in 2018 by manufacturing an EV? That would be the 'fact' of the matter. Thinking it was a 'compliance' vehicle or not is simply an opinion and it is mine that it was nothing to do with 'compliance'. Another fact is that in 2018 Jaguar told me (at an I-Pace launch event) that they had decided to become an electric only vehicle manufacturer by 2025. My opinion is that they have not followed through with those ambitious plans (we'll see next year in 2025), but whatever the timescales, the fact is Jaguar made the decision to go all EV and the I-Pace was the first fruit of that decision. Call it what you like, but I don't believe it had anything to do with 'compliance', just the changing world and automotive market. It is simply a shame that Jaguar have squandered their advantage and made (In My Opinion) an unrealistic decision to try and move upmarket with ever more expensive cars and since one of their big problems currently is hopeless dealer network and lack of service, just asking more money for the cars is simply not going to work. There's a lot of quality, reliability and trust issues to resolve before they can sell cars at twice the price. As for 'compliance', well if you want you could call the first EV made by any manufacturer a 'compliance' car. But that would be meaningless wouldn't it. 😀

@UKenGB again.... a compliance vehicle that enabled the company to avoid financial penalties in Europe and California. It so enabled them to continue to sell their ice vehicles in those territories. This is the basic definition of a compliance vehicle. No opinion at all...... just facts !

@@nosoupforyou425 You seem to be getting confused. I didn't disagree with the definition of 'compliance', just the description of the I-Pace as such and I am still of the opinion you are wrong. But you're entitled to your opinion - however incorrect it may be. Another opinion is that there's no point in any further discussion on the subject.

Ditto. I love my 2013 Laramie/Longhorn with $175k on it, stole it in 2014 for 32k. But the manifolds & rear end have been on borrowed time for 20k & I'm still using it daily. But with gas $$ running >$4800/yr, the thought of an EV truck is very appealing.

Imported cars from China to Europe can be more expensive due to import tariffs, transportation costs, compliance with European regulations, import taxes, VAT, distribution and marketing costs, exchange rate fluctuations, and supply and demand dynamics. So no single person is getting "rich"

Cars for export have a better quality (fully zinc protection) and are safer. The Chinese version of the Dolphin is shorter and is less safe in crashes than the export version. The BYD Dolphin is in Thailand cheaper than in Europe, but still more expensive than the China version.

@ sounds like crap. Chinese cars have higher standards than Europe. I think some people get really rich from getting the highest price, not what is best for our planet.

@@dasstraat At least in the past, the Chinese safety for cars standards were inferior to European standards. But they have to change that for selling cars in Europe.

Middle companies who's doing sale, import duties need their cut... But if Aus population is larger the orice will come down NZ has lower population so import price is more

Fair enough!

Thanks for flagging

Worth having the option even if only a few buy it.

Thanks. I'm very keen to see what it's like to drive.

A handful.

How so?

You have no idea!

I never knew US drivers didn't need to use indicators at roundabouts. I also don't want to pass judgement on stalks before I try them out.

It appears that Tesla remove things that people never use (e.g. fog lights) and put their money into more relevant features that people use more often.
