No throaty growl. No long hood. The all-electric I-Pace is a shocking departure from Jaguar. Could it be the best vehicle the brand has ever made? Tom Voelk travels to Portugal to drive it on road, off road, and on the Algarve Portimaõ Circuit (and never once worries about range).
Jaguar provided running footage, travel, and accommodations for this story.

Love that there isn't a giant iPad on the dash and there are still knobs/controls. I'd buy this Jag!

@andreas.abrahamsson 6 лет назад

What a great review! By far the best American reviewer. No shouty stuff with crappy loud music. Simple, well produced and facts orientated. Good job!

@RockingMarcos2013 6 лет назад

I gotta say, incredible editing. This video feels polished. Combine that with the charisma Tom has and this is a total joy to watch.

@MichaelFlatman 6 лет назад

Best review yet! You talk about the things people want to know, such as drivetrain durability and interior quality, most reviewers babble on about infotainment wayy too long. Thank you :)

@weirdshibainu 6 лет назад

Only e.v I'd consider purchasing. Jaguar panache with e.v. dynamics. Thanks for the review Tom

Quite possibly your best review Tom!! And what a car....

@esteban75lover23 6 лет назад

very true!

@zyembla 6 лет назад

It looks very nice. Contrary to most car enthusiasts I enjoy the sound from electric cars (mostly tires and wind), feels like star wars instead of last century clunky locomotive.

@MichaelFlatman 6 лет назад

i like the fake noise, sounds like a computer game :P

@billcichoke2534 5 лет назад

So, like a horse-drawn carriage instead of a car, right?

@Monkeyheadtpc 6 лет назад

This was a really great video on what seems to be an extraordinary car. Thank you for that.

@drichard12 6 лет назад

I had the opportunity to view one and they are very nice inside. I wasn't able to drive it yet. They don't seem poorly built. Everything seemed high quality. Everything I messed around with had a solid feel to it. I was amazed that the A/C was Ice cold. I want one.

@anthonydayspring9923 6 лет назад

Solid, solid impartial review. Succinct but really informative. You’ve got yourself a new subscriber man!👍🏽

@Van-Hammer 6 лет назад

This car makes for a very pleasing aesthetic experience and it has the tech to match that as well - including the 'froot', as you said.😊

@davidrobertnewman 6 лет назад

Michael Silbert The running footage on this one was especially good. Nice overhead drone work early, and those tracking shots at 8:06, 11:40, and 12:20...

@antsala9983 6 лет назад

not bad and it looks 150 times better the the model x

@tommywong3147 5 лет назад

Really? Interior is a lot better. Exterior not that much

@donovan4105 6 лет назад

That NATURAL acceleration sound at 5:55 sounds WAY better than that fake mess at 3:33

@DrivenCarReviews 6 лет назад

That's why there's a choice

@Origen17 6 лет назад

This beats the Tesla in my book. They kept Jaguar's focus on interior quality, where Tesla is pretty spartan, and the screen is just weird.

@robbielex 5 лет назад

I'm not an SUV guy but I love the looks of this machine!

@carsofsherwoodpark 6 лет назад

Great review as usual. The best on RU-vid. It’s great to see the car being the main focus and not the host.

This is the best quality review of this Jag, excellent job!!! What an amazing vehicle!!! :)

@paulqueripel3493 6 лет назад

No rear wiper, Honda did the same with the 2006 Euro Civic. They said the design would keep it clear,it doesn't work in town and slow traffic

@simplyeric12 6 лет назад

The production of these videos are phenomenal. Professor expert levels of explanation in a short time. Thank you very much.

@marcobusch 6 лет назад

That was an incredible review, you went direct to the point in a good quality presentation.

@davidkeenan5642 6 лет назад

I think this car is the replacement for the F-Pace, in due course, say over the next 10 years. Jaguar, like all major manufactures, know that BEVs are the future.

@sdurant8935 6 лет назад

Great review VERY HELPFUL, thank you.

@redskitter 5 лет назад

I feel in love with this car. But can't afford it. Best review, straight to the point, all aspect covered. I think this is the best EV car by design, quirks and features and performance. That's why this sold quick as hotcake.

@adrielmomin8885 6 лет назад

Definitely better than Model X in terms of practicality and sportiness.. And the best part I like about the I-Pace is that sweet whine of the electric motors is awesome! Anyway great review as always, Tom! Thanks!

@justsomeguy934 6 лет назад

Why does Jaguar keep comparing the i-Pace to a Model X? They're not the same vehicle! The closest thing Tesla makes is the Model S, compare that.

@happydaydreamer1 6 лет назад

Good review! Note that the 12.5 hours "home charge" time is based on using a 32 AMP 7.4 kW type-2 plug. Charging this on a regular 10A 240v plug would take up to 38 hours for a full charge. In the US you could double this for 110v using the same AMP.

@ganigani9430 6 лет назад

@NisseOhlsen 5 лет назад

Possibly the best looking car out there, bar none.

@nicholashills6972 6 лет назад

@dlg5485 6 лет назад

This puts the Model X to shame and for less money. It should have a range of at least 300 miles. I think all high-end electrics should meet that threshold, but otherwise an excellent debut from Jaguar. And excellent review Tom, as always!

@abbaby555 6 лет назад

I can't wait to see an all electric Land Rover or Range Rover

@Neojhun 6 лет назад

There is the Bollinger B1 but its body design is not aerodynamic and the battery pack is too low capacity. They are a small company limited by access to recourses and expertise. But the concept of a Torquey Electric Rover is soo badass.

@agus2001 6 лет назад

By 2025 they will be. China has already made it law. All new cars will have to be electric by then. Several car companies have already stated that since their biggest customer is demanding full electric vehicles then they will invest in BEVs 100%. Someone had to do it. The Chinese did it.

@Sanpedranoazul 6 лет назад

Great review Tom, the camera views are perfect; doesn't it's shape reminds you of the first gen Acura Integra, that rear quarter brings me back memories of it; btw "cab forward design" something I haven't heard since the prodigious LH's Cars from the 90s Chrysler design era; great Jaguar!!!

@DrivenCarReviews 6 лет назад

You know, I understand what you mean about the Acura.

@baldheadlogic 6 лет назад

LOL. 3/4 view kept making me think Acura Integra. I am glad I am not the only one.

@Sanpedranoazul 6 лет назад

canonlybeme4life I'm glad you did Too!!!

@justsomeguy934 6 лет назад

Um, cab forward is the Model 3, best example. The headroom of a huge sedan but the cabin is dead-center of the wheels. Old term, finally done accurately by Tesla. Jaguar is trying to adopt Tesla's attributes and design as their own (like "instant torque"). I get it, they need to sell the vehicle they's invested so much in.

@Sanpedranoazul 6 лет назад

@theodorev666 6 лет назад

One of the best reviews I've ever watched. Well done my friend! The car is amazing BTW

@henryhol8538 5 лет назад

Awesome review. You can now see why these cars have a support race in Formula e!

@stevec3526 6 лет назад

Tom, another great review. This car looks to be much better than the model X and probably more reliable than the X.

@justsomeguy934 6 лет назад

Reliability based on what? If you looking for Jaguar's historical reliability performance, I have dozens of jokes I can tell you. Let's let them make a few and see the warranty before we make any judgments. Benchmark: Model X and Model S warranty is 8 years, unlimited miles.

@Richie5903 6 лет назад

8 year 100k on the battery 3 year unlimited miles on the car .. Tesla in the uk 8 year unlimited on the battery and 4 years on the car. I think Jaguar are being completely fair and realistic , where I think tesla are being a little naive backing the battery with a warranty like that. Good for the customer , not so much for the company. The i-pace has already had 1.5 million test miles done and will be in customers hands at the start of the summer.

@trampslikeus3575 5 лет назад

Will they sell these in Canada, because it snows here. You need a rear wiper!

The two bottles of wine is a nod to 007 who always kept a chilled bottle of Moet Chandon in the Jag.

@BryceLovesTech 6 лет назад

I just wish Toyota or Honda would make a long range electric vehicle with awesome reliability

@DrivenCarReviews 6 лет назад

Electric vehicles, with a lack of engine and transmission, are inherently more reliable than ICE vehicle.

@cadsux 6 лет назад

Remember the 2014 Rav4 EV with Tesla batteries? It's just not profitable for them. Last April 2018, Jack Hollis, VP of Toyota North America, basically said "the market doesn't justify the expense." Even the Rav4 hybrid has sold only 2,600 units since 2015, while the regular Rav4 sells about 400,000 units annually in the U.S.

@ttroygotknife 6 лет назад

Bryce the cost does not justifies the efficiency.

@justsomeguy934 6 лет назад

You just named the car companies whose future is in doubt. They waited too long doing only what they know (read: GM, Ford, Kodak, Blockbuster, etc.) and now they are way behind the inevitable switch to EVs. I'd sell your stock of those two companies...

@cadsux 6 лет назад

In 2017, total EV & PHEV sales of all brands in the U.S. were 200,000 units, with Tesla accounting for 50,000 of those sales. While 50,000 nearly rivals Porsche's total sales, Toyota sold 2.1 million cars (over 109,000 are Prius); Honda sold 1.5 million cars (less 3000 hybrids), so their future is just fine. I would agree that GM & FCA's future is in doubt, since they were bailed out before.

Great great review, Tom. I loved your detailed description of the track experience- relating it back to how it translates to real-world driving. Well done.

@jacklappa9708 6 лет назад

As much as i like Tesla as a company, I have to admitt, Jaguar has made hell of a beautiful and compelling car. Would love to have it/drive it. Also from UI perspective, until tesla introduces full voice control of the car functions dials for temp are preferred over purely touch interface. GL Jaguar, not that you need it with this one :)

@eugeneplimpton5993 6 лет назад

This review was fun to watch. Seeing Tesla progress from S-X-3 and the looming Y, Jaguar skipped straight to CUV which was a smart move. We shall see how it fares againt Y. We already know Tesla will try to finish Autopilot for it, so that could be one major advantage. Still, the iPace is a sick car you can have right now. I want one, thanks to this video.

@ArthurDentZaphodBeeb 6 лет назад

Beautiful job Jaguar! Highlights how cheap the Tesla interiors are.

@justsomeguy934 6 лет назад

That's opinion, of course. Tesla has a minimalist interior, not a busy box of switches and dials. Coachwork (lots of leather, contrast stitching, LazyBoy recliners) is different for older makers like Mercedes for sure. But that doesn't seem to deter Tesla sales.

@pW-kb8xs 6 лет назад

ArthurDentZaphodBeeb It is personal taste I think. I estimate that the okder you are, the more you will prefer the Jag interior, the younger Tesla wins. The building quality of Tesla has become much better than it was. I drove a Tesla model S build in January 2017 and the quality was so much better than the one I saw last, a car build in 2013. The Jag wins on price, but Tesla has a huge advantage because of their own loading facilities, the navigation plans the loading in a very intelligent way. For instance when you drive from London to Glasgow, the nav says where to load. That is never to load up to 100%, but to that level that you arrive with the least time loading, based on the fact that the first part loads the quickest, the last the slowest. It really works. Etcetera, etcetera. By the way, I do not drive Tesla or Jaguar, can't afford them....Both cars are great and the future.

@justsomeguy934 6 лет назад

My Model S's fit and finish are great, never a problem. If you're equating lots of stitching, lots of leather, knobs and buttons as luxury then by all means get a Porsche. Clearly Tesla didn't try to out-fit a Rolls Royce on their interior. Many times I've observed that coachwork in a Mercedes is excellent. If you want to buy in to the parts and repair payment plan (it's really an annuity for the car maker) labeled Mercedes, be my guest. In a Tesla, however, you're buying the tech, not leather-covered switches.

@megawatts 6 лет назад

Proud to own an Indian car company vehicle. Good bragging rights!

@dredaylarue 6 лет назад

yes that's one reason why i don't like tesla because for the price the interior looks cheap

@shebanipperschnackles9879 5 лет назад

Holy cow. Awesome. "You can really feel that torque", obviously a scripted line but at least they model the heck out of the thing. Bravo.

@silentrefusal9911 6 лет назад

A truly impressive Jaguar vehicle in a very long time.

@filiped7298 6 лет назад

Thanks for visiting my country, Tom. Please come again soon 🙂

@DrivenCarReviews 6 лет назад

Lovely place from what I saw but have to admit, I was paying much more attention to the car. Did get in a 10K run in Lagos though. Very cool.

@cm18cam 6 лет назад

Interior is a huge improvement over recent Jags. Maybe this level of detail will trickle down to the lower models

@dhruvsinghpal8737 5 лет назад

@patb5266 5 лет назад

Thank you for this excellent review, nice car and only the start of the electric tech in many ways. Imagine a 3 gen of this or a 5th! Amazing things to come from this. Next generation battery tech when it arrives will make most vehicles electric as for a huge number of people EV is perfect. I'd love to be driving an I-Pace lol.

@fisslewine1222 6 лет назад

I love the interior dashboard and screen fitting, and the exterior is slick😍; this car will really screw Tesla! Only thing I think this car needs is larger screen, and the ability to use the screen like a smart phone or additional mobile computer!

@aXimo 6 лет назад

12:20 - psst: those "extra laps" were planned from the very start. Its made in that way, so you will feel special. ;) Nonetheless, I hope Jaguar will overcome the battery availability issue, I really do, I'd like to see more of their cars like this one.

@DrivenCarReviews 6 лет назад

Ya think? Really, it's a way to move the story along and to show what the car can do. And I agree, I would like to see Jag getting as many out as possible. Hoping to see them in the wild soon.

@golith41 6 лет назад

When you compare the two Tesla isn't even coming close to what this is, it gives you a great luxury with a classic car luxury interior and instant torque. Unless you want that 2001 Space Odyssey look in your cabin I prefer the Jag it looks better it's way more practical and I bet they won't have giant waitlist

@summertyme5748 6 лет назад

"Tesla isn't even coming close to what this is," Model X seats 7 and has 285 mile range, Model 3 is less expensive seats 5 and has 310 mile range. I like the Jag, but don't go overboard and pretend that it's better than the Tesla's, it's not.

@vika0194 6 лет назад

Summer Tyme forget the range. Look at the design and build quality. And interior

@dzonikg 6 лет назад

jagurar have much bigger batery then model 3 and same as model x...which is better i dont know but Jaguar has way better build quality then Tesla

@justsomeguy934 6 лет назад

They don't have a wait list because they can't make the car yet. All you're seeing are prototypes. Thousands of Teslas, all models, have been delivered. I think Jaguar has made less than 20 of these cars.

@Lovejazz01 6 лет назад

You can order a Tesla Model X and Model S today and have it in a month, no waiting...

@sbollmeyer 6 лет назад

Congrats Tata!

@scottsalmon1980 6 лет назад

I understand why people compare it to the Tesla Model X, but the iPace is a physically smaller and lighter vehicle. What is really lacking though, is a high speed charging network.

@jakarai 6 лет назад

they have to sale the cars first.

@ThePlayerOfGames 6 лет назад

It's compatible with the European Ionity 400kW network (3× faster than Tesla supercharging)

@BudahOfBirmingham 6 лет назад

Very good review. It's a shame Jaguar haven't put in any charging infrastructure or joined with Tesla to share charging. Budah of Birmingham

@ormgordon 6 лет назад

Tom, good job as always. Did you feel the heat through that panoramic roof? Thinking of its practicality in the hot climate where I live (Trinidad & Tobago).

@DrivenCarReviews 6 лет назад

I did not feel it and it was warm and sunny both days I drove it.

@MiccaPhone 5 лет назад

This with solid state batteries (in a few years) that have a better ecological footprint, capacity, lifespan and charging speed, and ICEs are a thing of the past.

@tw25rw 6 лет назад

I don't think we should see each EV as competition for Tesla. They are competition for non-EVs more as the migration to EV will be mostly one way.

@guntodd 6 лет назад

Well said.

@DrivenCarReviews 6 лет назад

I agree somewhat with your argument which is why this isn't a Jag vs Tesla piece. But most people want to know how powertrains compare and Tesla is the 500 pound gorilla in the EV market so there has to be some amount of mention..

@28delayslater97 6 лет назад

Nice to see more EVs on the market. Nice car. Will not effect Tesla sales at all as the EV space is growing exponentially at the cost of ICE car companies.

@singularity70 6 лет назад

Brilliant and beautiful vehicle .. much nicer than any Tesla's I have seen. Jaguar needs to work on the ultra fast charging 350Kw+ infrastructure witch might be can shared with other manufacturers to lower cost for all.

@fluidefluide1128 5 лет назад

Certainly suits silver rather than red. The bargain-basement red shown somehow makes the car look heavy at the rear.

@peterford5408 6 лет назад

12:05 Regarding cold weather range reduction, it may be worth elaborating. I believe this is due mostly/entirely to heating the cabin with energy from the battery. (I think the battery itself actually quite likes being cold.) And the I-Pace uses a type of heater that is more expensive & energy efficient than you'd typically find. (It's called a heat pump.) So the range reduction is less of a problem than most other EVs. As a scrooge I'd probably leave my jacket on to save some electricity, even though per mile costs are already much less than for combustion vehicles!

@justsomeguy934 6 лет назад

The battery does NOT like the cold. There is a narrow band of temperature - the lower end starting around 50 degrees fahrenheit - that the batteries perform best. Don't confuse battery performance with cabin heating. The i-Pace suffers the same performance issues in cold weather as any other EV, not less. Now about cabin heat: that can be done two ways, resistance heat (e.g., Tesla) or heat pump (Leaf, most other EVs). Resistance heat is the most expensive energy-wise but the warmest for the occupants; a heat pump is good as long as you don't want toasty feet in sub-zero weather. Many of the newer EVs have a hybrid heat pump, which looks like a good compromise.

@peterford5408 6 лет назад

Thanks. I thought most EVs don't have heat pumps but now I see that is questionable. Teslas don't, Chevys don't, and many Leafs don't. But many other brands *do*. So I shouldn't have made that claim without detailed sales data (which I don't have). Here is a corrected version: _So the range reduction is less of a problem than it is for Teslas, Chevys, and many Nissan Leafs._

@justsomeguy934 6 лет назад

Um, I guess you mean less range is lost heating the cabin in an i-Pace than in a Tesla. That may be true, but also realize that Tesla chose resistance heat for a reason - comfort. If the i-Pace cannot keep the cabin warm in sub-zero temperatures, it's not much use (or so was the reasoning of Tesla). Another factor: Tesla (like many other EVs) have seat and steering wheel heating. You'd be amazed at how cool the interior cabin can be if you heat your backside and hands. That's the first thing you do if you're in dire need of energy conservation - turn down cabin temp and heat your butt.

@peterford5408 6 лет назад

Well the I-PACE was certainly tested in cold weather. Presumably Jaguar will have done whatever was necessary to ensure the air temperature can be controlled in all circumstances. The base model has two-zone climate control (with four-zone climate control a £600 upgrade). I suppose we'll find out for sure next time some reviewers get hold of it (as long as that's not in Portugal again!) But if you're worried, yes heated seats and steering wheel are also available.

@MICHGO1 6 лет назад

THE BATTERY NEEDS TO BE HEATED IF IT GETS TOO COLD. I SAW A TESLA VIDEO WHERE THE OWNER DISSEMBLED IT AND IT DOES HAVE A HEAT PUMP FOR THE BATTERY.

@bikebudha01 6 лет назад

So wish there was a $40k option for this car!!! (great review by the way...)

@justsomeguy934 6 лет назад

There is - it's called a Model 3.

@bikebudha01 6 лет назад

not... even... close...

@justsomeguy934 6 лет назад

Really? So tell me the Jaguar model that will sell for $40,000. It would be smaller in size (like the Model 3), have fewer luxury features (like the Model 3) and have a different warranty (like the Model 3).

@Arvutimaailm 6 лет назад

The centre console fits a 1Dx which is important :D But in reality this is not a competitor for the X. More like for the model 3 as it is really small. The X and the S both fit a 6'6 driver but the I-Pace is pretty small.

@zionsimas 6 лет назад

Beautiful photography at 11:33!

@grahamveal7925 6 лет назад

Great review! Comprehensive and thoughtful. Good looking car and nice performance spec's - just a pity about the lack of boot (trunk) space. Jag's engineers seem to have made the very same mistake here as they did with the F Type sports car (miserable boot with no space for golf clubs). Huge error considering the target audience for both cars!!! Hopefully, slower than forecast sales for the F-Type will focus Jag's management team on a solution and a larger boot will be included in the Gen II car.

@coleyboysnr 6 лет назад

Hi Tom, great review, thank you. I have one on order and looking forward to delivery. Quick question - You mention that Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported, however, it was my understanding that JLR have yet to integrate these features across their product lines. Are you able to confirm this position especially on the I-Pace? Thanks Andy

@DrivenCarReviews 6 лет назад

The cars we drove did not have it. We were told by JLR staff that both would be added to the system by the time cars were delivered in the US. If you're basing a buying decision on this, by all means make sure before driving off the lot.

@coleyboysnr 6 лет назад

Thx, decision is not based on CarPlay or Android Auto, it would be a nice to have. The I-Pace is fabulous as tested, again thx for the great review!

@DrivenCarReviews 6 лет назад

Feel free to post your experience once you get the car Andy. Always nice to get an owner's experience on a new model like this.

@nev357 6 лет назад

I contacted the Jaguar dealer in my country. Although no exact price was known, an approx price of $170kNZD ($116usd) was given. I find this extortionate given the Ipace is $85.9kUSD before any federal or state incentives and because our country (New Zealand) doesn't care about going green, doesn't care about giving any incentives. What I don't understand is how the price jumps from $85.9k USD (=$125k @69c exchange rate) to $170k NZD ($116k USD ) which equates to 74% increase. And to rub insult, the NZ Jaguar dealer said they were going to import some Ipace to trial to see if they would work on our roads. Excuse me, but a tarsealed, concrete, ash felt, bitumen road is surely not much different than any other country so I presume the toffee nosed nobs at Jaquar NZ want to take more than their slice of cake, prefer to sell only to stupid people that have more money than brains or just ignorant. A shame, I was eager but now I see Ipace as a front for a corrupt car dealership in our country, so will never own.

This video makes we wonder why Ford didn't save the Focus Electric by offering the ST package and give it a little more power and little more battery storage. It would have actually got buyer attention.

Where can you find them and how many?

Looking forward to seeing these on the road. It's about time someone stepped up the game besides Tesla, then again, that was Tesla's goal all along. SO good job to both companies!

Just not enough range for most US states. The distance we drive between locations plus The cold weather in many will just not be enough

Great review - nice and comprehensive! One point though - I've yet to hear any reviewer mention how the I-Pace stacks up against the existing Jaguar ICE offerings or comparable ones from other manufacturers? Why is everyone assuming that this BEV and others will only take sales away from Tesla? Existing premium-model ICE sales will suffer with the availability of this vehicles and others like it. Look at the carnage w/ the 3-series, C-class, and A4/S4 sales due to the advent of Tesla models. Their ICE CUV/SUVs will be next as I can only imagine what will happen once this and other premium BEVs are more readily available.

I'll argue the "carnage" is because buyers have switched to crossovers, not that Tesla is stealing sales (though yes, there is some conquest). Good point on comparing it to ICE cars and that's something I was going to touch on but ran out of video (used every frame I shot). I'm tired of the phrase "Tesla killer". I believe there will be a market for everyone as EVs get better and more options are available. Will Tesla be affected? Sure but I'm not sure it will lead to the complete demise of the company. Stay tuned...

Kenneth, insightful observation and a good clue as to WHY any traditional car maker is at odds with EVs! EVs have no post-sales income; you have to make your money up front. Unless traditional car makers do a complete turn-around of their business model (an abandon the dealership model), I don't believe they can make EVs.

@kcharles4630 6 лет назад

Hey EV Owner - thanks! Agree that legacy automakers haven't proven as yet that they can or are willing to manufacture/sell premium EVs in sufficient numbers (believe that Jaguar is only forecasting ~26K/yr?). They'll cannibalize their existing ICE sales (electrification of the drivetrain is just more efficient, cost-effective, and results in a better vehicle) and maybe alienate their dealership base (reduced service revenue, installation of chargers at dealerships, etc.). I can only see a challenging transition for them. Imagine being in senior leadership at those companies and having to come up with a 5-year strategic plan that ensures profitability while positioning themselves for the future.

Kenneth Charles - I have likened traditional car makers to Kodak many times. All their entrenched management could see was the poor quality of digital cameras AT THAT TIME. They compared the disadvantages of digital cameras in their infancy to the mature film market that could get no better than it was - the beginning of one technology to the end of another. If you've ever wondered why Tesla gets valued higher than GM or Ford on occasion, that's why. I absolutely believe that traditional car makers CANNOT make EVs - it's going to take Tesla and Lucid and Bollinger to do it as they have started from EVs with no ancient business model to preserve.

Driven Car Reviews: infrastructure is king. Charging rules. See how many ideas Jaguar took from Tesla? Dual motors between the wheels? Sub-floor battery pack (not a T-cell like the Bolt)? In the end the I-Pace is very similar to the Model S; it's Tesla's charging network that makes Teslas and only Teslas a replacement for gas cars.
