Anyone drive a Jaguar?

Anyone one here drive the ipace?
My companion wants a new car, hers is 9 years old now and she’s given me the task of arranging it all.
It’s got to be electric and we’ve looked at the Mercedes big old lump, E Tron Audi and the Tesla model 3.
I saw this thread and am hoping someone got one and can give an honest impression.

 

Thanks, from what I’ve read from owners the range is not as good as some And warm weather is about 200 miles and that’s going to drop in colder weather and the brake system and screen issues. Looks a nice car though and it’s first generation.
Merc seems to be built on the old chassis as is the Audi and it drives like a tank and the Tesla suffers from quality issues if you are unlucky.
She’s got a Honda CRV old shape and the new ones are larger, we did look at the Tesla x but it’s huge and not something she now wants.
She knows the owner of the local Merc garage and it’s so so as franchise go but my sisters husband works for Merc not a franchise and he’s pretty honest about them. Audi is a tank too.
It’s a toss up between the jag or model 3 at the moment. She does like a higher sitting position though which the jag is but she loves the tech on a Tesla. our local jag garages is closing and relocating and the nearest Tesla is West Drayton.
in fairness to Tesla the model 3 seems to be better made comparing it with the s and x and I think they probably got a bit to go but not bad.
I think she needs to have a test drive with the jag to see how she feels.

 

I’ve just been reading the Tesla’s service charges, terrible price if it’s true.
I’m in Bucks, every other car round here is Merc, bmw, Porsche, lots of Bentleys, a few Rolls and stacks of Range Rovers and discoveries. Chap opposite me has a TVR, it’s junk and is always in for work.
Nearest Jaguar is Lookers in Amersham, that’s the one that was said to be moving. Been there years.
the oldest garage around here is Slades and I pass it most days as it’s just up from my Companions old house.
Slades Garage - Sports Cars for Sale in Buckinghamshire
They have some great cars in there but no i pace yet.

 

Yes new really as it will probably be her last car to be honest. She’s got her heart stuck on a Tesla and she does struggle with her CRV now.
We loved the Honda e but it’s a town car and I’ve no doubt it will be a great little car for around town but she likes her longer trips for her regular holidays.

Slades have some really nice cars in at times. We tried out a Ferrari California a few years back, it sounded great but the build quality was awful. I was shocked as it was £140000. Not comfy, not for me anyway and I said why do you want this, it’s just not practical and I don’t like the image as it’s all show. That’s one thing Tesla has, it looks plain.

I’ll have a look at what that jag garage has in stock just in case they have a show model.

 

Great, they have a few low mileage HSE versions. I’ve sent her some photos. They are almost the same size as a model 3 but the interior looks so much better. I’m hoping they have the air suspension upgrade.

 

We are off to have a look at one at Lookers our local jag dealer to see if she likes them.
I’m arranging a test drive for her in a Tesla too.
I’ve also suggested Honda as they have a SUV planed next year and I’ve suggested as she wants something special as it’s probably her last car a Porsche Taycan

 

haha I know. Trouble is she’s just watched a video on the Porsche and like it. She might as well have a test drive of all the cars I think she will like and she can go with the one she likes most. Got a feeling the Tesla might get left behind
