I learned from Alex that Tesla is the only brand selling luxury sedans in all of Europe. I will quote him all over the internet on what I would consider to be a crazy thing to claim.
I just discovered your videos, Alex, and I really love your style of reviewing vehicles. Virtually no rambling, fantastic observations, great on-screen graphics/text, and really great camera work. I also love your comparisons to comparable vehicles. You're my new favorite auto review youtube channel.
I test drove the I-Pace on the Gold Coast Australia for 24 hours. Right after that I bought one on the spot. Same evening sold all shares I held in Tesla as well. This car is a game changer. I made some videos about my personal buying experience as well. Tip: order your I-Pace without air suspension and your car will handle like a dream.
I absolutely love the look of this car. Great luxury, exclusive and practical tech like Apple CarPlay (released OTA), HUD, Adaptive lights and heated/cooled seats makes this my pick. Also Jags will give a discount on MSRP, on top of govt subsidy plus issues will be easier to address given their extensive dealer network. 250 miles is ample for me and I’ll charge 95% at home... but biggest win for me is that design. In and out! Well done Jag
You all prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Yehuda Mayson Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Great review! Easily the most thorough that I have seen to date. And I think i have seen them all. I have an I PACE on order and this reinforces my decision.
The big advantage to Tesla is super fast charging nearly everywhere. Thus if you're making longer or even medium range business trips, this one won't play out well, especially once winter temps impact the driving range.
Great review Alex!! We recently ended up choosing a Model 3 Dual Motor (non-performance) over the I-Pace. It was a tough choice, but at the end of the day we chose the Model 3 due to the increased range, Autopilot features, and the Tesla charging network. It would have been nice if the Model 3 had all the "bells and whistles" such as HUD, cooled seats, etc of the I-Pace, but those features aren't worth an extra $20,K to me. The I-Pace certainly gives Tesla a run for the money, and I'm glad that there are more electric car options for people to choose from.
Managed to experience this e-car. Great Car, crazy electric traction. I am glad that there is a development in this direction. Thank you for the video!
When you compared the charging networks, you missed the charging speed difference. Measured in miles of range per minute spent charging, which is what really matters, there's a huge difference. Both networks are growing, but so far CCS quick chargers are mostly not so quick.
Alex on Autos Hooray! If I were in your neck of the woods I’d let you use mine. You’ve been my favorite auto reviewer for a while but it didn’t make sense that you haven’t reviewed a Tesla yet. I’m glad to see what Jaguar has done well here, and look forward to more serious EVs from mainstream manufacturers, although for me personally there’s a very high bar to ever get me considering a non-Tesla for future vehicles. I’m just glad to see more options and competition in the EV space.
What a great review. Factual and unbiased. It’s difficult to break into the US market from Europe with Tesla having such amazing infrastructure which cannot be denied, but this is a car review, and frankly the Jag just mocks Tesla on being a luxury EV.
Wow! Superb review. All meat and potatoes. Unlike other reviewers, Alex does not struggle to be cute in his review with the latest auto "cool" speaking points. Just a straightforward review with data facts I need to know. Thank you!
Alex, you completed one of the most thorough analyses on the I-Pace that I have watched. Congratulations. The fit and finish on the Teslas do bother me. But the efficiency of the I-Pace also concerns me. You did relieve me on the charge issues of the I-Pace. That allays some range anxiety. What you did not mention about Tesla is the poorer follow-up and support. Jaguar offers a 5 year bumper to bumper parts and labor, with includes pick up and return. A more top flight treatment, analogous to the better fit and finish. I am al but convinced to move forward with the I-Pace purchase. Thank you.
Okay super nerd. Unlike you, we're not bothered. Must an electric be pre-fixed "e"? MUST it? Are Teslas prefixed with an "e"? Go and bore someone rlse.
Tesla does sell a mid range battery (rear wheel drive only) for about 46K plus 5K for autopilot... Since its not AWD, i think Alex didn't use it as the comparison price. I own a 3, so I'm biased but I don't see how this car can sell at 75K for 200 real world range miles.
Whoops, you uncharacteristically messed up the Tesla onboard AC charger capabilities. Model S/X max at 72A and Model 3 LR is 48A. This is about 17 and 11 kW respectively.
Current Tesla’s have 17, 11, and 8kW chargers. I’ve never heard of possible change to future Model 3s to increase their chargers to 16kW. What was the source of that rumor?
Great review with lots of good information, for me it’s got to be the I-Pace well that’s why I bought one, it’s such a great car with its luxury finish, high speed, permanent four wheel drive, with ice and snow mode, what more do you need. And efficiency well it still is very cheap to run son no need to get stressed over it.
I know if Tesla started taking orders for the MY at this moment, they'd cannibalize their M3 sales, so it's understandable that they are holding off until pre-orders can be place for the base M3 that should be out before the March MY announcement. That being said, the MY is poised to absolutely slay the competition, and I'd include the I-Pace in that. If based on a dual-motor M3 platform (I hope they do that to speed things up), it could incorporate: -greater ground clearance and easier entry (good for old farts like me) compared to the M3 -a newer charging standard of hopefully >250kW (something I bet 2020 M3s also have) -the simplified electrical system Tesla has spoken of, eliminating the 12V legacy battery -air/electric suspension -much better cargo capabilities than the M3 -level-4 autonomy (please never take away my steering wheel!) -and since the MY would have greater volume than the M3, it could incorporate a larger battery by stacking the cells a bit deeper. My dream battery would be one that is at 80% state of charge with an indicated 100kWh of energy, so the battery itself could be a 120-140kWh version, with 20-40kWh user-obscured to allow for lower degradation and greater charge speed. For example, a 140kWh battery may never dip below 20kWh, or above 120kWh, leaving 20kWh at each end. Charging at 250kW would result in a charge time of around 25 mins, from "0-100%." Most likely the range would be 600-700km. That would be perfect, since I'd probably only ever charge for 10 minutes at a time, giving me 300km or so. As usual, I must thank Tesla for any new electric car by any manufacturer, since, as Alex pointed out, it was Tesla who removed the wool from the eyes of the public, and showed that EVs can be practical and desirable. Alex - are you an engineer? You slip in comments regarding dynamics and mechanical systems that I think would go over 90% of people, yet are much appreciated by those of us who have a more in-depth understanding of such systems. You're definitely my favourite auto reviewer of any place and time, but like others have said, it would be most excellent if you could figure out liabilities and dive into Tesla.
Tesla has been growing their production faster than anyone since the original Ford Model T ramp in production. The model 3 is not for sale in their largest markets yet because they still need to grow production more. They have sold 100,000 model 3s and last I heard their waiting list keeps getting longer. Until they can better meet demand for the Model 3 then they do not really even have the option of manufacturing the Model Y.
@@0ooTheMAXXoo0 I have heard that the Gigafactory 3 in China, funded locally, will produce the MY. I really hope so, for all the reasons you mentioned.
Suggestion: you should do an exclusive sleep index or camper index. It’s something the internet is super interested in. I am always trying to figure out how flat seats fold and which cars are best to sleep in with a little pad or just how flat I can get the front seats to go back and something that no other reviewer that I know covers. Your reviews are the best. Thanks
Thanks for the review as always Alex. I think your perception that a buyer either wants an EV or an ICE powered vehicle and will shop within those bounds may be a little off the mark. I shop for a vehicle that will accomplish everything I need of it. That means, practicality, performance, comfort, tech etc. If there is a good EV option that ticks the right boxes and is within my price range, then great, I will happily consider the EV (We own a Bolt and love it!). However, especially in the crossover segment, there are very few EV options that can compete on price, so I will inevitably be mostly looking at ICE configurations. My next car will be somewhere in the XC60, X3, GLC kind of category and I would love to have a good EV option, but certainly not for a ~$70k starting price before you start adding options.
hmmm.... do you buy a new Ipace for $85K or a used Model S P90D for about $65K? Same Range, 0-60 in 2.8 seconds. Includes a 4 year warranty as well. No question-
Excellent review! Thanks, Alex! Looks nice, but on the downside, it looks to be pretty inefficient: I saw 44.8KWh/100 miles, which is about 2.2miles per KWh, whereas my Prius Prime gets more than *double* that in EV mode. The Kona EV seems to be about the same as the Prime. Granted, the iPace is a roomier vehicle, but still, that’s a pretty big drop! Edit: Ah, I see now that you already commented upon that (efficiency). Good work as always, Alex! Nevertheless, here’s a comparison point for you: 4.7miles/KWh on my Prius Prime.
please review a tesla anything Alex! Your charge speeds are a little off regarding tesla. 48 amps for model three 72 max for S and X. Used to be dual chargers at 80 total.
No luxury sedans of any brand are sold in Europe? You are breaking huge news for me and I will keep using you as a source for these interesting facts about the complete lack of competition among luxury sedans. Alex on Autos is who told me Tesla is the only car brand selling luxury sedans in all of Europe.
Model 3 much better value. Better range, better available performance, better charging network, and much better autopilot features can be found in the Model 3. With so many being sold, parts and repairs will also be much lower cost long term.
But honestly, would you really be seen in a model 3? It's so boring to look at and in the end they're only a few miles apart on range and the cost difference for a charge is nothing. Jaguar every time for me.
@@MrFsizer I think M3 looks better... and much cheaper if talking about base version or much longer range if talking about long range version. Smaller batter pack + faster charging, much shorter charging time per hour drive. Much larger cargo space is handy too.
That's just a matter of compensating with structural robustness and rigidity -- simple mechanical engineering that does not necessarily detract from rollover safety. More to the point, the 'skateboard' design keeps center of gravity so low that rollover accidents are enormously less likely anyway.
Very good review overall, thanks. In my opinion Tesla's not being compatible with CCS is not a big deal... yet. Not until CCS is better than the Supercharger network in coverage, speed, reliability.
At current build out rates CCS should surpass the supercharger network in about a year in the US. In most other markets CCS is already larger than the Tesla supercharger network.
@@mskz06 That's getting there too. Electrify America looks to have a pretty good network. They are working some bugs out but I think they will get there. EVgo, Chargepoint and now Recargo are also doing some nice work.
The CCS network outnumber the Supercharger network already, but, location is an issue. Teslas chargers are located along travel routes for the most part while CCS stations are clustered in metro areas
@@erikstephens34 That's a positive for all EV's. Tesla might add an extra charge port for CCS in NA & Europe for future models if there is enough demand for it, I know they did it for Chinese config.
Like those cloth seats! Hope you get to review a Model 3 soon. One critical note, the extended outside camera mount created too much motion/distortion. Was hard to watch the driving portion
I like this car! If you don't wanna be just another guy in a Tesla, this is a great alternative. The downside is this will not have Tesla resale value, and it does not have a supercharger network for long trips
It's too bad you're unable to review Teslas. But I think you did a good job putting the i-Pace in context, explaining how it takes the same approach as Tesla in some areas and a Jaguar approach in others. As usual, your review was more informative than any other, pointing out both the good and the bad, and giving a good sense of what it's like to drive.
Looks like a great car but unfortunately, the reports indicate that the iPace is significantly less efficient than the Teslas and, for Australia at least, it lacks the equivalent of the supercharger network so it's not viable for interstate travel.
Test drove Jaguar today and I was impressed. Beautiful dashboard and interior. Apple Carplay. It has a soul, unlike Tesla. But no sunroof, no spare tire, no runflat tire. I hated Tesla 3's aggressive regenerative braking (felt like I slammed on the brakes), plain dashboard, and poor ergonomics screen. Both EVs have great acceleration but ride comfort was much stiffer (hard) compared to luxury sedan combustion engines from Mercedes and Lexus.
Arm rest has fabric - great allows little dog not to slip and slid. I would also like to see you add some kind of rating on the rain cover that back lift gate provides. Some offer nice amount of rain cover while loading while others don't. Thank you, thumbs up on your videos :)
You let your dog be loose in the car? No care for their safety? Is that even legal? Most places the law is your animal is supposed to be inside a carrier of some sort.
I'm always happy to see more all-electric vehicles covered on this channel! That said, at 26:13 please note that the base Tesla Model 3 is rear-wheel drive, not all-wheel drive. Additionally, as far as "leather alternatives" go, it's worth noting that all Tesla "leather" is actually vegan.
Alex, the biggest cost of any car is depreciation. Teslas don’t depreciate as much as other cars because of the Over-The-Air updates. In the same four or five years when most cars could lose up to half of their value because their technology and features become outdated, Tesla’s OTA updates improves the car for their owners, causing it to cost significantly less than the sticker price implies. Buy a Tesla for $100k, sell it for $65k is a $35k car! Will the I-Pace have OTA updates? If the I-Pace doesn’t have OTA updates, then that $80k car will likely be worth significantly less in 4-5 years, maybe $40k. So, a larger, three row, longer-range $100k Model X would be less expensive than a smaller, two-row, less range $80k I-Pace? Yup. All because of OTA. It’s that important of a feature to have. Please consider OTA in any electric car - if it has it, the car will depreciate less, allowing one to sell it for more than an electric car that doesn’t have OTA updates. Thanks for considering. Love all of your reviews. Watch them frequently and often.
I -Pace 2 must have a roof shade and rear wiper. Hope to see a video on light reflection from roof at night for front and rear passengers. With no rear wiper how is visibility while it’s raining , how will a dash camera video look at speed below 30kmh since it’s not at a speed for the wind to push the water away from the rear windscreen?, how is visibility while reversing/parking during the rain?.
I think the Ipace could be cross shopped by those seeking a performance/luxury suv such as the Stelvio Quadrifolio, Macan S, GLC63 coupe, or X4 M40. Though the others are not electric, all listed here are less practical versions of their standard suv trims for those who just want to go faster with more cargo room and more visibility than a saloon. I think everyone knows that each manufacturer will have an electric version at some point and to go with the Jaguar in this case means getting the future now
bigger on board charger nice, but how often to people charge from high power AC? Nobody I know has more than 7kw available at home, public charging in a hurry is DC.
This is simply a true statement. There are more SAE combo charge ports in the USA than Tesla Supercharge ports. This is according to the latest DOE and independent surveys. Just look in a major metro area, there will be 1-4 Tesla supercharging stations with 20+ plug but often hundreds and hundreds of SAE combo connectors. Now, the placement of the stations is the key to Tesla's network as I said before.
Siskiyou. You would fill in Filmore, Utah, Grand Junction, Colorado, then Glenwood Springs, Colorado, then on to Lakewood, Colroado. That would get you over the Rockies.
@@AAutoBuyersGuide This isn't true. There is a difference between Level 2 DCFC and Level 3 DCFC... one is part of the destination charging/around town charging network, the other is to support long distance travel. There are very few enabled routes with Level 3 DCFC for CCS available today. And the number of plugs per location is very different. Electric America is building out a Level 3 DCFC CCS network, but they are behind and the charging networks really aren't comparable. I am surprised you didn't make this distinction. Road tripping a Tesla today is very different than with a CCS equipped vehicle. That advantage likely lasts for a few years. Add in the fact that slow DCFC vehicles like the Bolt and Kona will clog up the Level 3 DCFC CCS network, and the difference in charging networks in the US is pretty big.
Model 3 is made by a brand new, non-established Automaker. I-pace is made by an established automaker who is making maybe 10% the quantity of the Model 3. You won't find as much customization over a car that struggles to meet demand (1000% percent demand of the I-Pace).
I recently checked out a high spec model with red leather seats and some blacked out trim and pieces and it looked stunning. However Jaguar’s interior quality hasn’t been too nice lately, with their gauges looking like chevy’s and even selling this very expensive car with cloth seats like this. Not even the doors are leather-padded. Tesla does this too, but everything else in the car is leather so you don’t feel like you’re sitting in Grandma’s old fabric couch. Anyone else agree?
I pick the i- pace, however a large percentage of us don't drive on mountain back roads we drive red light to light on city streets and highways, we'd like to see more testing in that driving situation...
Great Review. I would definitely consider an i-Pace. I still don't get why Jaguar is unable to get their in car multimedia interface reacting to user inputs as fast as my phone.
Making custom hardware and software, then optimizing it, is difficult, even for an automaker. However, it's certainly true that they make the job way harder for themselves by insisting on proprietary everything, rather than doing the sensible thing and building a customized distro of Android or Linux.
Great review as always Alex! Professional, articulate, detailed, and visually appealing! Keep it up. EVs are the future regardless of what folks think. Forget your manuals, automatics shift faster(fractions of a second) and now get better fuel economy. Heck the fastest cars in the world come with automatics 😂😂😂 Vote folks!! Don't sit out this one and let 2016 happen again.
Alex, there's something going on with the video quality nowadays. The blacks are getting crushed and it's very hard to make out details on the interior shots. Thanks.
JLR provided one tank of GAS for this review??? Hmmm. I'm not a big fan of moon-roofs (although I have one), unless they open-up to provide some airflow, then I'd occasionally use it. If Jaguar offered a shade or LCD color changing feature, as you had mentioned, it would make it MUCH easier to live with. Ideally, I'd prefer to see the moon-roof become an option on all cars, instead of standard or as part of a package.
I think this is a great car, but it’s a little expensive. I like how it’s very customisable like many other Luxury cars. Jaguar should start working on the following: Upping to 150kW charging. Upping the AC charger to 11kW (and 3ph for Europe) Speeding up the infotainment. Increasing range by fixing whatever is causing the poor efficiency. It’s a damn fine effort for a first attempt if you ask me. I’m not a fan of the push button shifter though, prefer a stalk like Tesla, no need to look at the buttons.
I am shopping in this segment and I have driven the Tesla model 3 and i totally disagree that the tesla model 3 has a traditional style like you say. I think the jag is very traditional in its styling with a front grill like a ice car and its interior. nothing about the jag says future or EV. the tesla model 3 inside and out looks like nothing else on the road. I am not a tesla fan boy or even ev fanatic. I am a bmw fan and have been most of my life but i want to step in the future and after driving a model 3 performance there is no competition. i do agree that the fit and finish on some tesla's are horrid for a car company. (in my opinion)
There is no denying that Tesla struggled with fit and finish on their first two dedicated vehicles, Model S and Model X, but I'm curious what your takeaway is about fit and finish from your test drive in Model 3, since many outlets have said that Model 3 is a huge step up over S and X.
@@Pikminiman they have come a long way with the fit and finish though the model 3 performance i text drove had the trunk liner falling out with latch wires exposed and that was a brand new tester to entice people to buy.....................So not a good look for them so far
I would get the iPace if choosing between it and the Model 3. I'm not a big fan of the styling of the Model 3 or the single screen it uses in the interior.
Excellent review! I was looking for the facebook post to comment, but decided to comment here. I think Jag missed an opportunity to rethink design. This doesn't really need a grill like a traditional ICE car. Maybe they are going for a look that is not different from ICE cars. I would have liked them to be more daring.
Very well done Alex. In my preference book, the I-Pace is the easy winner mostly because the world does NOT need another SUV (Silly Useless Vehicle - very much a fad or trend started by putting a "car" like body on a truck's frame and sold as a lifestyle for the "camping in the rough" crowd) styled vehicle. My guess is that the majority of buyers don't really NEED the "cargo space" of an SUV which in many cases can be fulfilled with a station wagon - a MUCH more attractive solution with MUCH better road manners than an SUV. So on that score the I-Pace wins hands down for its car like looks and mannerisms. Going against the I-Pace as a CAR, the Teslas lose with their minimalist computer interiors because they look so cold and uninviting compared to the warmth of the Jaguar. As a matter of taste, I even prefer the interior of the E-Gold to the interior of any of the Teslas. Futuristic need not look like you are spending time in an operating room. In terms of styling, in my book, the I-Pace also wins hands down against ANY electric car (except MAYBE the Taycan) and most ICE cars too. Of course I understand that beauty IS a subjective thing but Ian Callum et al at Jaguar hit a massive home run with the I-Pace!
error in comment above . . .interior of the E-Golf not E-Gold ! E-GOLF !! : ) P.S and the e-Golf has a much nicer interior fit and finish and materials than any other e-cars its price range and others way ABOVE its price point as well.
Have an M3 (and PacHy btw that you had reviewed too before). Miss the ground clearance and the ride is a bit stiff like you say on M3 (plus 19'). However, at this point I will not consider I-Pace, main reason being: charging network. Say what you want, CCS is _not_ developed in US. Even here, in Bay area, one can't reliably find one with a good confidence it will be available; also if there's one, it is a good chance it is going to be limited to either 24kw or even 9 kw (yes! this is the bay area, 2018!). CCS DC may have more locations but far fewer stalls, and, most importantly, far worse (if any) real time occupancy information than Tesla Superchargers. Most importantly, Tesla's commitment to maintaining the infrastructure and integrating it with long distance trips is simply second to none. I have to disagree with you on the infrastructure availability point. And if we drop out the locations under 4 plugs (due to availability lottery of low stall numbers per location), then CCS DC is all but non-existent in US. Secondary reason, even though (say) i have enough cash to afford either MS, MX or the Jag without a loan, and that would not be my last cash, there's no such thing as disposable income. Buying this car today means e.g., no yacht (or one less yacht for some I guess) in retirement. Cars are one commodity that only goes down price wise for same set of features with time. Retirement, on the other hand, only goes up price wise with time. :)
While still an advantage it's not that big of an advantage anymore. The CCS standard has been growing at an incredibly rapid pace and should surpass the supercharger network in about a year at current pace.
@@erikstephens34 : Number of charge points is only part of the bigger picture. Even as other charging networks surpass Tesla's Supercharger network in sheer numbers, Tesla still absolutely dominates the entire globe in terms of charge rate (145 kW charging capped to 120 kW due to restrictions on Tesla vehicles), which means that even *half* of Tesla's usual charging rate still beats the usual 50 kW competition. And as far as simplicity and reliability are concerned, Tesla is number one with no close second. I hate saying stuff like this, since it paints me as a fanboy, but the simple fact is that no charging networks comes remotely close to the quality of experience offered by Tesla's Supercharger network. That said, I have high hopes for CCS's forthcoming 350 kW stations, a handful of which are already deployed.
@Николай Каретников : Even as Autopilot has become much more advanced, such as with Navigate on Autopilot, it is still absolutely nowhere close to level 4. Whether it meets the standards for level 3 is not totally clear, but given that level 3 requires safety-critical functions to be fully autonomous, I would argue Autopilot remains firmly in level 2 at the moment.
Phil Melson - newp... as long as the battery has proper thermal management (which they all do now), it doesn’t matter how fast you dump the power in... it’s the number of charge/discharge cycles that (very) slowly lowers total capacity. An interesting note on high speed (super) charging... up to 80% is *_fast,_* that last 20% takes almost as long.
The I pace appeals to me a lot but that sunroof without a shade would irritate me. I don't care much for sunroofs. I would be looking at a Niro EV as an alternative instead of a Tesla.
I don't understand how this can be one of the slipperiest vehicles in America when it's got a 0.29 drag coefficient. There are lots of vehicles available with cD of 0.24 or better, including all three Teslas, BMW 5 series, Audi A4, and of course Toyota Prius and Hyundai Ioniq. Perhaps you meant to say slipperiest SUV or crossover?
Alex is the best auto reviewer for real, practical people.
You mean not intelligent buyers?
I learned from Alex that Tesla is the only brand selling luxury sedans in all of Europe. I will quote him all over the internet on what I would consider to be a crazy thing to claim.

I tried an I pace the other day, my review, fantastic, mine is on order.
Great review, one thing that just about every reviewer regardless of vehicle screws up: 0-60= QUICK, top speed = FAST.
When you compared the charging networks, you missed the charging speed difference. Measured in miles of range per minute spent charging, which is what really matters, there's a huge difference. Both networks are growing, but so far CCS quick chargers are mostly not so quick.
The most informative channel ever. Always interesting to listen. Love your reviews 👍🏻
I love your videos, Alex! But, the fact that you've never reviewed a Tesla makes me feel extremely skeptical. Review the Teslas, please!
The biggest problem with Alex on Autos is that no Teslas have been reviewed.
agree... turo this Alex, please!
Maybe Sofyan can let him borrow his.
We are actually working on this.
Alex on Autos Just use Turo.
Alex on Autos Hooray! If I were in your neck of the woods I’d let you use mine. You’ve been my favorite auto reviewer for a while but it didn’t make sense that you haven’t reviewed a Tesla yet. I’m glad to see what Jaguar has done well here, and look forward to more serious EVs from mainstream manufacturers, although for me personally there’s a very high bar to ever get me considering a non-Tesla for future vehicles. I’m just glad to see more options and competition in the EV space.
This is the best auto review I've ever seen!
What a great review. Factual and unbiased. It’s difficult to break into the US market from Europe with Tesla having such amazing infrastructure which cannot be denied, but this is a car review, and frankly the Jag just mocks Tesla on being a luxury EV.

Alex, you completed one of the most thorough analyses on the I-Pace that I have watched. Congratulations. The fit and finish on the Teslas do bother me. But the efficiency of the I-Pace also concerns me. You did relieve me on the charge issues of the I-Pace. That allays some range anxiety. What you did not mention about Tesla is the poorer follow-up and support. Jaguar offers a 5 year bumper to bumper parts and labor, with includes pick up and return. A more top flight treatment, analogous to the better fit and finish. I am al but convinced to move forward with the I-Pace purchase. Thank you.
So Jaguar names its non-electic car the e-Pace and their electric car the i-Pace?
Randy Mogle
I thought it was just me.... What were they thinking?
🤔
A standard abbreviation in physics I = Electric Current
E-Pace - along with their XE, F-Pace - along with their XF, and the upcoming J-Pace - along with their XJ. Really not that hard to understand
Okay super nerd. Unlike you, we're not bothered. Must an electric be pre-fixed "e"? MUST it? Are Teslas prefixed with an "e"? Go and bore someone rlse.
LOVE this Review, and ALL your REVIEWS!!! ALEX ON AUTOS Rocks :)
Tesla does sell a mid range battery (rear wheel drive only) for about 46K plus 5K for autopilot... Since its not AWD, i think Alex didn't use it as the comparison price. I own a 3, so I'm biased but I don't see how this car can sell at 75K for 200 real world range miles.
Whoops, you uncharacteristically messed up the Tesla onboard AC charger capabilities. Model S/X max at 72A and Model 3 LR is 48A. This is about 17 and 11 kW respectively.
Tesla calls the 72A option a twin 10kW charger design. It is my understanding that the Model 3’s 16kw option is coming later
Current Tesla’s have 17, 11, and 8kW chargers. I’ve never heard of possible change to future Model 3s to increase their chargers to 16kW. What was the source of that rumor?
@japanwatchconnection Why ask that question? You could do a quick search instead of muddying the waters.
Great review with lots of good information, for me it’s got to be the I-Pace well that’s why I bought one, it’s such a great car with its luxury finish, high speed, permanent four wheel drive, with ice and snow mode, what more do you need. And efficiency well it still is very cheap to run son no need to get stressed over it.
bro you are the best , keep up the good work, really amazing and the most detailed review i have ever see, i deeply appreciate the work
the car is astonishing in every way possible except than range
Range, efficiency and charging speed.
70K-80K?? 😱
Alex, great review as always.
Tesla model y is cheaper fully loaded
I know if Tesla started taking orders for the MY at this moment, they'd cannibalize their M3 sales, so it's understandable that they are holding off until pre-orders can be place for the base M3 that should be out before the March MY announcement. That being said, the MY is poised to absolutely slay the competition, and I'd include the I-Pace in that.
If based on a dual-motor M3 platform (I hope they do that to speed things up), it could incorporate:
-greater ground clearance and easier entry (good for old farts like me) compared to the M3
-a newer charging standard of hopefully >250kW (something I bet 2020 M3s also have)
-the simplified electrical system Tesla has spoken of, eliminating the 12V legacy battery
-air/electric suspension
-much better cargo capabilities than the M3
-level-4 autonomy (please never take away my steering wheel!)
-and since the MY would have greater volume than the M3, it could incorporate a larger battery by stacking the cells a bit deeper.
My dream battery would be one that is at 80% state of charge with an indicated 100kWh of energy, so the battery itself could be a 120-140kWh version, with 20-40kWh user-obscured to allow for lower degradation and greater charge speed.
For example, a 140kWh battery may never dip below 20kWh, or above 120kWh, leaving 20kWh at each end. Charging at 250kW would result in a charge time of around 25 mins, from "0-100%." Most likely the range would be 600-700km. That would be perfect, since I'd probably only ever charge for 10 minutes at a time, giving me 300km or so.
As usual, I must thank Tesla for any new electric car by any manufacturer, since, as Alex pointed out, it was Tesla who removed the wool from the eyes of the public, and showed that EVs can be practical and desirable.
Alex - are you an engineer? You slip in comments regarding dynamics and mechanical systems that I think would go over 90% of people, yet are much appreciated by those of us who have a more in-depth understanding of such systems. You're definitely my favourite auto reviewer of any place and time, but like others have said, it would be most excellent if you could figure out liabilities and dive into Tesla.
Tesla has been growing their production faster than anyone since the original Ford Model T ramp in production. The model 3 is not for sale in their largest markets yet because they still need to grow production more. They have sold 100,000 model 3s and last I heard their waiting list keeps getting longer. Until they can better meet demand for the Model 3 then they do not really even have the option of manufacturing the Model Y.
@@0ooTheMAXXoo0 I have heard that the Gigafactory 3 in China, funded locally, will produce the MY. I really hope so, for all the reasons you mentioned.
Suggestion: you should do an exclusive sleep index or camper index. It’s something the internet is super interested in. I am always trying to figure out how flat seats fold and which cars are best to sleep in with a little pad or just how flat I can get the front seats to go back and something that no other reviewer that I know covers. Your reviews are the best. Thanks
Thanks for the review as always Alex.
I think your perception that a buyer either wants an EV or an ICE powered vehicle and will shop within those bounds may be a little off the mark. I shop for a vehicle that will accomplish everything I need of it. That means, practicality, performance, comfort, tech etc. If there is a good EV option that ticks the right boxes and is within my price range, then great, I will happily consider the EV (We own a Bolt and love it!). However, especially in the crossover segment, there are very few EV options that can compete on price, so I will inevitably be mostly looking at ICE configurations.
My next car will be somewhere in the XC60, X3, GLC kind of category and I would love to have a good EV option, but certainly not for a ~$70k starting price before you start adding options.
That camera work while driving makes it look like you're going to fall off the mountain. I felt anxious watching the entire time!
hmmm.... do you buy a new Ipace for $85K or a used Model S P90D for about $65K? Same Range, 0-60 in 2.8 seconds. Includes a 4 year warranty as well. No question-
The range of the Tesla is longer, 253 vs 234 for the Jaguar.
This vehicle's face and back have very attractive design.
Excellent review! Thanks, Alex!
Looks nice, but on the downside, it looks to be pretty inefficient: I saw 44.8KWh/100 miles, which is about 2.2miles per KWh, whereas my Prius Prime gets more than *double* that in EV mode. The Kona EV seems to be about the same as the Prime. Granted, the iPace is a roomier vehicle, but still, that’s a pretty big drop!
Edit: Ah, I see now that you already commented upon that (efficiency). Good work as always, Alex! Nevertheless, here’s a comparison point for you: 4.7miles/KWh on my Prius Prime.
I prefer you're normal 4 camera driving layout to this review. Great review overall as usual.
please review a tesla anything Alex! Your charge speeds are a little off regarding tesla. 48 amps for model three 72 max for S and X. Used to be dual chargers at 80 total.
No luxury sedans of any brand are sold in Europe? You are breaking huge news for me and I will keep using you as a source for these interesting facts about the complete lack of competition among luxury sedans. Alex on Autos is who told me Tesla is the only car brand selling luxury sedans in all of Europe.
Model 3 much better value. Better range, better available performance, better charging network, and much better autopilot features can be found in the Model 3. With so many being sold, parts and repairs will also be much lower cost long term.
I agree, but this doesn't really compete with the Model 3... This is a crossover; the Model Y would be a better comparison when it comes out.
Also, the model 3s software gets better over time.
yes. BUT SHITTY INTERIOR MATERIALS. i would buy a Model 3 Performance in heart beat if it has this jaguar's interior or something else better ?
But honestly, would you really be seen in a model 3? It's so boring to look at and in the end they're only a few miles apart on range and the cost difference for a charge is nothing. Jaguar every time for me.
@@MrFsizer I think M3 looks better... and much cheaper if talking about base version or much longer range if talking about long range version. Smaller batter pack + faster charging, much shorter charging time per hour drive. Much larger cargo space is handy too.
Alex since the top is hollow, this design is makes passengers more vulnerable in case of a rollover accidents
That's just a matter of compensating with structural robustness and rigidity -- simple mechanical engineering that does not necessarily detract from rollover safety. More to the point, the 'skateboard' design keeps center of gravity so low that rollover accidents are enormously less likely anyway.
Very good review overall, thanks. In my opinion Tesla's not being compatible with CCS is not a big deal... yet. Not until CCS is better than the Supercharger network in coverage, speed, reliability.
At current build out rates CCS should surpass the supercharger network in about a year in the US. In most other markets CCS is already larger than the Tesla supercharger network.
Erik Stephens Yeah I thought that was the case, still not sure if total # matters as much as location & reliability.
@@mskz06 That's getting there too. Electrify America looks to have a pretty good network. They are working some bugs out but I think they will get there. EVgo, Chargepoint and now Recargo are also doing some nice work.
The CCS network outnumber the Supercharger network already, but, location is an issue. Teslas chargers are located along travel routes for the most part while CCS stations are clustered in metro areas
@@erikstephens34 That's a positive for all EV's. Tesla might add an extra charge port for CCS in NA & Europe for future models if there is enough demand for it, I know they did it for Chinese config.
Like those cloth seats! Hope you get to review a Model 3 soon. One critical note, the extended outside camera mount created too much motion/distortion. Was hard to watch the driving portion
I like this car!
If you don't wanna be just another guy in a Tesla, this is a great alternative.
The downside is this will not have Tesla resale value, and it does not have a supercharger network for long trips
It's too bad you're unable to review Teslas. But I think you did a good job putting the i-Pace in context, explaining how it takes the same approach as Tesla in some areas and a Jaguar approach in others.
As usual, your review was more informative than any other, pointing out both the good and the bad, and giving a good sense of what it's like to drive.
Looks like a great car but unfortunately, the reports indicate that the iPace is significantly less efficient than the Teslas and, for Australia at least, it lacks the equivalent of the supercharger network so it's not viable for interstate travel.
It’s not significantly less efficient it was tested at only 40miles per charge behind the significantly more expensive model X
Impressive vehicle. Gives me hope that this segment could become more than just for compliance.
Exactly as Elon predicted and he is very happy about the way the market is going...
Test drove Jaguar today and I was impressed. Beautiful dashboard and interior. Apple Carplay. It has a
soul, unlike Tesla. But no sunroof, no spare tire, no runflat tire.
I hated Tesla 3's aggressive regenerative braking (felt like I slammed on the brakes), plain dashboard, and
poor ergonomics screen.
Both EVs have great acceleration but ride comfort was much stiffer (hard) compared to luxury sedan
combustion engines from Mercedes and Lexus.
Arm rest has fabric - great allows little dog not to slip and slid. I would also like to see you add some kind of rating on the rain cover that back lift gate provides. Some offer nice amount of rain cover while loading while others don't. Thank you, thumbs up on your videos :)
You let your dog be loose in the car? No care for their safety? Is that even legal? Most places the law is your animal is supposed to be inside a carrier of some sort.
Great review, very detailed!
Could you just add metric figures under the imperial ones?
Yes! So glad you reviewed this
I'm always happy to see more all-electric vehicles covered on this channel! That said, at 26:13 please note that the base Tesla Model 3 is rear-wheel drive, not all-wheel drive. Additionally, as far as "leather alternatives" go, it's worth noting that all Tesla "leather" is actually vegan.
As we said in the video we were taking lowest priced AWD models as they are the most comparable
@@AAutoBuyersGuide : Makes sense.
Alex, the biggest cost of any car is depreciation. Teslas don’t depreciate as much as other cars because of the Over-The-Air updates. In the same four or five years when most cars could lose up to half of their value because their technology and features become outdated, Tesla’s OTA updates improves the car for their owners, causing it to cost significantly less than the sticker price implies. Buy a Tesla for $100k, sell it for $65k is a $35k car! Will the I-Pace have OTA updates? If the I-Pace doesn’t have OTA updates, then that $80k car will likely be worth significantly less in 4-5 years, maybe $40k. So, a larger, three row, longer-range $100k Model X would be less expensive than a smaller, two-row, less range $80k I-Pace? Yup. All because of OTA. It’s that important of a feature to have. Please consider OTA in any electric car - if it has it, the car will depreciate less, allowing one to sell it for more than an electric car that doesn’t have OTA updates. Thanks for considering. Love all of your reviews. Watch them frequently and often.
I want the jags design and the Tesla’s efficiency
Unfortunately, efficiency (or lack thereof) is rooted deeply in a car's design.
True expert opinion, not like other expert
I -Pace 2 must have a roof shade and rear wiper. Hope to see a video on light reflection from roof at night for front and rear passengers. With no rear wiper how is visibility while it’s raining , how will a dash camera video look at speed below 30kmh since it’s not at a speed for the wind to push the water away from the rear windscreen?, how is visibility while reversing/parking during the rain?.
I think the Ipace could be cross shopped by those seeking a performance/luxury suv such as the Stelvio Quadrifolio, Macan S, GLC63 coupe, or X4 M40. Though the others are not electric, all listed here are less practical versions of their standard suv trims for those who just want to go faster with more cargo room and more visibility than a saloon. I think everyone knows that each manufacturer will have an electric version at some point and to go with the Jaguar in this case means getting the future now
Another frunkin' great video! Good job, Alex!...
bigger on board charger nice, but how often to people charge from high power AC? Nobody I know has more than 7kw available at home, public charging in a hurry is DC.
Alex is just wrong about the charging network, at least for now. There is no way to cross the Rockies in a Jag with current charging infrastructure.
Saying the I-Pace has more fast-charging options than Teslas must be one of the largest mistakes I have ever heard from Alex.
This is simply a true statement. There are more SAE combo charge ports in the USA than Tesla Supercharge ports. This is according to the latest DOE and independent surveys. Just look in a major metro area, there will be 1-4 Tesla supercharging stations with 20+ plug but often hundreds and hundreds of SAE combo connectors. Now, the placement of the stations is the key to Tesla's network as I said before.
Siskiyou. You would fill in Filmore, Utah, Grand Junction, Colorado, then Glenwood Springs, Colorado, then on to Lakewood, Colroado. That would get you over the Rockies.
@@AAutoBuyersGuide This isn't true. There is a difference between Level 2 DCFC and Level 3 DCFC... one is part of the destination charging/around town charging network, the other is to support long distance travel. There are very few enabled routes with Level 3 DCFC for CCS available today. And the number of plugs per location is very different. Electric America is building out a Level 3 DCFC CCS network, but they are behind and the charging networks really aren't comparable. I am surprised you didn't make this distinction. Road tripping a Tesla today is very different than with a CCS equipped vehicle. That advantage likely lasts for a few years. Add in the fact that slow DCFC vehicles like the Bolt and Kona will clog up the Level 3 DCFC CCS network, and the difference in charging networks in the US is pretty big.
Taking your Tesla into water will void its warranty and Most charging happens at home.
Wait, have you reviewed the Model 3? I'd still choose Telsa, personally.
Tom Kittie this car looks better than tesla
11 inches of ground clearance.. and how much water are we forwarding? its settled.
Model 3 is made by a brand new, non-established Automaker. I-pace is made by an established automaker who is making maybe 10% the quantity of the Model 3. You won't find as much customization over a car that struggles to meet demand (1000% percent demand of the I-Pace).
I recently checked out a high spec model with red leather seats and some blacked out trim and pieces and it looked stunning. However Jaguar’s interior quality hasn’t been too nice lately, with their gauges looking like chevy’s and even selling this very expensive car with cloth seats like this. Not even the doors are leather-padded.
Tesla does this too, but everything else in the car is leather so you don’t feel like you’re sitting in Grandma’s old fabric couch.
Anyone else agree?
Are those cloth seats...? Love the Alcantara inserts, but why does the seat material look so bad...?
I am glad Jaguar is trying. Maybe next time they will get it right? They just need to compete with Tesla, not beat it, just get close.
I pick the i- pace, however a large percentage of us don't drive on mountain back roads we drive red light to light on city streets and highways, we'd like to see more testing in that driving situation...
Great Review. I would definitely consider an i-Pace. I still don't get why Jaguar is unable to get their in car multimedia interface reacting to user inputs as fast as my phone.
Making custom hardware and software, then optimizing it, is difficult, even for an automaker. However, it's certainly true that they make the job way harder for themselves by insisting on proprietary everything, rather than doing the sensible thing and building a customized distro of Android or Linux.
Nicely done Alex, very thorough.
very authentic dude, sounds like news reader why only 242k subscribed? before it was 243!!
The thing to look at as to why the I-Pace isn’t very efficient is their system voltage level and inverters...
Great review as always Alex! Professional, articulate, detailed, and visually appealing! Keep it up. EVs are the future regardless of what folks think. Forget your manuals, automatics shift faster(fractions of a second) and now get better fuel economy. Heck the fastest cars in the world come with automatics 😂😂😂
Vote folks!!
Don't sit out this one and let 2016 happen again.
Alex, there's something going on with the video quality nowadays. The blacks are getting crushed and it's very hard to make out details on the interior shots. Thanks.
How do you clean the alcantara dash and steering wheel? Fabric arm rests? Won’t that soil? If you have to get this Jag then I would lease.
JLR provided one tank of GAS for this review??? Hmmm.
I'm not a big fan of moon-roofs (although I have one), unless they open-up to provide some airflow, then I'd occasionally use it. If Jaguar offered a shade or LCD color changing feature, as you had mentioned, it would make it MUCH easier to live with. Ideally, I'd prefer to see the moon-roof become an option on all cars, instead of standard or as part of a package.
The Electric Kitty.........sounds like a GREAT name for a '60's psychedelic rock band!!!!!
we got frunks on MR and RR cars since age back, suddenly mainstream just realized it good to have 🤣
I think this is a great car, but it’s a little expensive. I like how it’s very customisable like many other Luxury cars.
Jaguar should start working on the following:
Upping to 150kW charging.
Upping the AC charger to 11kW (and 3ph for Europe)
Speeding up the infotainment.
Increasing range by fixing whatever is causing the poor efficiency.
It’s a damn fine effort for a first attempt if you ask me. I’m not a fan of the push button shifter though, prefer a stalk like Tesla, no need to look at the buttons.
I am shopping in this segment and I have driven the Tesla model 3 and i totally disagree that the tesla model 3 has a traditional style like you say. I think the jag is very traditional in its styling with a front grill like a ice car and its interior. nothing about the jag says future or EV. the tesla model 3 inside and out looks like nothing else on the road. I am not a tesla fan boy or even ev fanatic. I am a bmw fan and have been most of my life but i want to step in the future and after driving a model 3 performance there is no competition. i do agree that the fit and finish on some tesla's are horrid for a car company. (in my opinion)
There is no denying that Tesla struggled with fit and finish on their first two dedicated vehicles, Model S and Model X, but I'm curious what your takeaway is about fit and finish from your test drive in Model 3, since many outlets have said that Model 3 is a huge step up over S and X.
You’ll notice I said traditional profile. It’s shaped overall like a standard RWD luxury sedan
@@AAutoBuyersGuide yeah i agree to disagree :)) but still love your channel :)) keep up the great work
@@Pikminiman they have come a long way with the fit and finish though the model 3 performance i text drove had the trunk liner falling out with latch wires exposed and that was a brand new tester to entice people to buy.....................So not a good look for them so far
It's the same in my XJ, the 360 camera is off centered. I thought they may have fixed that eye sore.
I would get the iPace if choosing between it and the Model 3. I'm not a big fan of the styling of the Model 3 or the single screen it uses in the interior.
Excellent review! I was looking for the facebook post to comment, but decided to comment here. I think Jag missed an opportunity to rethink design. This doesn't really need a grill like a traditional ICE car. Maybe they are going for a look that is not different from ICE cars. I would have liked them to be more daring.
Very well done Alex. In my preference book, the I-Pace is the easy winner mostly because the world does NOT need another SUV (Silly Useless Vehicle - very much a fad or trend started by putting a "car" like body on a truck's frame and sold as a lifestyle for the "camping in the rough" crowd) styled vehicle. My guess is that the majority of buyers don't really NEED the "cargo space" of an SUV which in many cases can be fulfilled with a station wagon - a MUCH more attractive solution with MUCH better road manners than an SUV. So on that score the I-Pace wins hands down for its car like looks and mannerisms. Going against the I-Pace as a CAR, the Teslas lose with their minimalist computer interiors because they look so cold and uninviting compared to the warmth of the Jaguar. As a matter of taste, I even prefer the interior of the E-Gold to the interior of any of the Teslas. Futuristic need not look like you are spending time in an operating room. In terms of styling, in my book, the I-Pace also wins hands down against ANY electric car (except MAYBE the Taycan) and most ICE cars too. Of course I understand that beauty IS a subjective thing but Ian Callum et al at Jaguar hit a massive home run with the I-Pace!
error in comment above . . .interior of the E-Golf not E-Gold ! E-GOLF !! : ) P.S and the e-Golf has a much nicer interior fit and finish and materials than any other e-cars its price range and others way ABOVE its price point as well.
Have an M3 (and PacHy btw that you had reviewed too before). Miss the ground clearance and the ride is a bit stiff like you say on M3 (plus 19'). However, at this point I will not consider I-Pace, main reason being: charging network. Say what you want, CCS is _not_ developed in US. Even here, in Bay area, one can't reliably find one with a good confidence it will be available; also if there's one, it is a good chance it is going to be limited to either 24kw or even 9 kw (yes! this is the bay area, 2018!). CCS DC may have more locations but far fewer stalls, and, most importantly, far worse (if any) real time occupancy information than Tesla Superchargers. Most importantly, Tesla's commitment to maintaining the infrastructure and integrating it with long distance trips is simply second to none. I have to disagree with you on the infrastructure availability point. And if we drop out the locations under 4 plugs (due to availability lottery of low stall numbers per location), then CCS DC is all but non-existent in US.
Secondary reason, even though (say) i have enough cash to afford either MS, MX or the Jag without a loan, and that would not be my last cash, there's no such thing as disposable income. Buying this car today means e.g., no yacht (or one less yacht for some I guess) in retirement. Cars are one commodity that only goes down price wise for same set of features with time. Retirement, on the other hand, only goes up price wise with time. :)

Great review ! I have an I Pace HSE on order for December. Very excited about the future of electric mobility.
i have a 2019 HSE ...i love it ...trade a tesla model S ....no ragrets....
Pure jaguar DNA!
Where the rear camera for the video is placed.....
When you compared the car with the Model 3, you forgot Tesla's biggest advantage: the Supercharger Network.
While still an advantage it's not that big of an advantage anymore. The CCS standard has been growing at an incredibly rapid pace and should surpass the supercharger network in about a year at current pace.
@@erikstephens34 : Number of charge points is only part of the bigger picture. Even as other charging networks surpass Tesla's Supercharger network in sheer numbers, Tesla still absolutely dominates the entire globe in terms of charge rate (145 kW charging capped to 120 kW due to restrictions on Tesla vehicles), which means that even *half* of Tesla's usual charging rate still beats the usual 50 kW competition. And as far as simplicity and reliability are concerned, Tesla is number one with no close second. I hate saying stuff like this, since it paints me as a fanboy, but the simple fact is that no charging networks comes remotely close to the quality of experience offered by Tesla's Supercharger network. That said, I have high hopes for CCS's forthcoming 350 kW stations, a handful of which are already deployed.
@@Pikminiman You do know that the majority of new CCS stations being installed today are 150+KW stations with many being up to 350KW right?
@@erikstephens34 : Haha way to prove you didn't read my full comment.
@Николай Каретников : Even as Autopilot has become much more advanced, such as with Navigate on Autopilot, it is still absolutely nowhere close to level 4. Whether it meets the standards for level 3 is not totally clear, but given that level 3 requires safety-critical functions to be fully autonomous, I would argue Autopilot remains firmly in level 2 at the moment.
Does continually fast charging the battery have detrimental effects on the overall efficiency of the battery aa opposed to slow charging?
Phil Melson - newp... as long as the battery has proper thermal management (which they all do now), it doesn’t matter how fast you dump the power in... it’s the number of charge/discharge cycles that (very) slowly lowers total capacity. An interesting note on high speed (super) charging... up to 80% is *_fast,_* that last 20% takes almost as long.
The f-pace and the f-type FINALLY gave birth to their futuristic baby.
How long before Ipace and Velar door handles break and stop deploying? I give it three months or first snowfall and freeze.
So gorgeous. Perfect timing for a crossover EV.
15:18 What a shot! nice!
The I pace appeals to me a lot but that sunroof without a shade would irritate me. I don't care much for sunroofs. I would be looking at a Niro EV as an alternative instead of a Tesla.
The Niro has gotten way better reviews than the Jaguar and it will be cheaper as well. Great that you are going EV!
I don't understand how this can be one of the slipperiest vehicles in America when it's got a 0.29 drag coefficient. There are lots of vehicles available with cD of 0.24 or better, including all three Teslas, BMW 5 series, Audi A4, and of course Toyota Prius and Hyundai Ioniq. Perhaps you meant to say slipperiest SUV or crossover?
He was probably repeating marketing materials. It is obviously not something he researched.
My manager just got one.. can’t wait for my model 3 :)
Yay more EVs! Thanks Alex!
Speed limiter is pretty much mandatory in EU. Best sillysimple feature ever!
