I’d argue that the best feature of the M3 its drivetrain. The rest - “engineering gone wild”

No, I prefer my regular $30 dollars juicer to a $400 over engineered buttonless piece of crap that cannot make juice properly, but has an iPhone app ;) P.S. If I need to choose a device just for calls I’d buy a flip phone with numeric keypad in a heartbeat. Are you using your Tesla to watch...

Button-heavy? What are you talking about? I-Pace has 4 more buttons plus transmission button and start/stop (you know, to avoid that vampire battery discharge)

Better then my Juicero ;).

As much as Cadillac would charge for theirs factory dash cam. I cannot find a number, but I doubt it will be more expensive then $250.

Let me correct myself - with normal car interior.

And it had a decent Bluetooth integration unlike some competition ;)

It’s because nobody got an idea to put everything under control of the single touch interface yet.

Check it out! Fanboiz patrol on a loose:)

It is a bit laggy but definitely not in seconds range. On other hand, try to compare how long will it take Tesla owner to change the temperature vs I-pace even with laggy media interface.

In real life I-Pace looks more like a tall hatchback like BMW i3 then an SUV.

I completely disagree with you on I-Pace positioning, but thank you for your post. In my test drive experience the idea that the interface of the car should be reduced to an iPad-like experience is completely flawed.

No, the purpose of the thread to gather more opinions about I-Pace as a direct competition to the performance version of M3. Do you agree, that competition is good for us, Tesla customers. P.S. And, of course, as usual, to enumerate fanboys.

Normal experience for me: Ability to enable windshield whippers from the stearing column or see the turning signal is on, somewhere in front of me. Or even better, to see a blind spot warning on the mirror where I’m actually looking while changing lane. How much would it cost Tesla to do it...

I will get some extra car for the extra $30k too. For example AWD and HUD and adjustable suspension. But about $5k would go into the brand avoidance :). What is wrong with that? I do believe that the vertical integration in general and direct sales only model are flawed. Is it wrong for me to...

Jaguar initial quality metrics - 150 issues reported per 100 cars over first 90 days. It’s about 50% worst than average. Tesla initial quality - decided to not participate (to save the chart from reaping I guess)

I 100% agree. Model X is and likely Model S too is bigger, more capable and more expensive.

And you will get the most amazing and useless apology email.

1. Autopilot - Auto lane change and overtaking is cool (except this story with 101->85 exit). The rest is either called TACC with lane assist and available or some beta feature you are testing with your life. I hope you are aware the Tesla's "autopilot" is not a #1. 2. Navigation - Jag could do...

Agree Jag has a big question mark next to the battery and drivetrain. On other hand Tesla has a huge question mark next to everything except battery and drivetrain. My experience is quite opposite.

OK. I asked about markups because this is a deal-breaker for me too. In fact I was asking two questions: 1. Should I expect markups. Answer was either don't know or Jaguar is not allowing it. 2. Availability and delivery timeframe. Answer was Bay Area has enough allocation, I should expect...

Great post. Thank you. Except I was driving EVs for over 7 years by now. :)

That’s some high quality fanboism.

Please, do me a huge favor. Read my response #49 on page 3.

Don't worry, if Tesla will deliver on promises, you will experience this problem too

Nissan didn't but I had no issues with them, VW did'n but I had no issues with the car too. BMW - same story except they were selling EVs for a couple of years by the time I've bought mine. Tesla - I'm not sure they have experience in SELLING cars or anything whatsoever. Making ... will see...

Good post. One thing you, probably, got wrong - I-Pace didn't strike me as an SUV/SAV at all. It's rather a tall sedan. In fact it's 1 inch lower then BMW i3

More "traditional" car interior, better selection of options, very likely a better customer service and a lack of necessity to visit a service center in a week after the car is delivered. The difference between P3D is 5-7K

Did you see parking lots in BA lately? It' almost like that pictures from the Tesla factory lot :). Considering there are about 4 colors now - do the math.

I'd choose IX3 over the I-Pace or M3 in a heartbeat. So far my experience with BMWs the BMW dealerships was excellent. However it's not available yet, and I need a new car worst case early next year.

Equally important. Point is, though, industry-wide standard is better then a proprietary solution. But I'm repeating myself...

Have no clue. Over 200 miles. Yesterday and today till 6PM :)

Let me quote myself - "Ok, I’m not chasing Performance edition or even AWD, but if you are". I have a reservation for a very basic LR for 50K. At this moment, Tesla needs just a little bit of effort to already made one to piss me off enough so I will spend extra 30K just to avoid buying Tesla.

Based on real life observation - M3 and i-Pace are about the same. Price-wise I-Pase is comparable to P3D. Why should I care? The difference is a cent or two per mile. True By a very thin and impractical margin. Both cars are not build for the track. I wander would P3D be able to complete a...

Free supercharging in a walking distance from my office - yes. Free supercharging in the middle of US - no

Sure. When will it be reflected in the insurance rates?

Yes. This concerns me a lot. M3 on other hand - don't get me started....

Was not a problem for Nissan Leaf when I bought it in 2011. Why do you assume the people, who are working in the dealerships are ignorant? They may be dishonest, but rarely ignorant. Great! I'm not sure it's a plus at all. False. I-Pace has over-the-air upgrade capability for the infotainment...

I don't understand the reason for the long range driving. This is correct. Now, speaking about Bolt - it has a similar to Tesla cars problem - great drive train with so-so car body on top. On a plus side for Tesla - their cars looks better than Bolt, no doubt

I have reservation for M3 and now considering Jag. So, it's Tesla peeps trolling Tesla fanboys.

My configuration was topping 80k, but I believe 75k is doable too

And your point is?

And it a car, not a computer on wheels... sad ;)

It has normal car experience, HUD, adjustable suspension and amazing seats (actually 2 different types, but both are great)

Cisco

I’ve been in both cars and whitenessinng a lot of fallouts of delivery hell. I’m not sure Jag will struggle....

Atari games are definitely a tiebreaker. Efficiency difference - are we talking about 1 cents per mile, I guess?

I will and it will take me about 6-7 hours. :) Because I will take a plane and rent Tesla at destination

Please, please, don’t bring the supercharging network to this. I’m driving in the car every day, yet I’m charging on a public charger maybe once per year. And I’m not an exception... :) By the way, try to charge your M3 on a free fast charger provided by my company ;)

Just got off the I-Pace event in San Mateo and have a question. Ok, I’m not chasing Performance edition or even AWD, but if you are, why I-Pace is not a viable option at almost similar price point? Normal car with likely a better assembly quality, with bunch of options to customize, with a bunch...
