No it’s not at all

[@tonyren.tr5]

Tesla Model Y or Kona EV

[@GRUxGUNZ]

Much worse than a Tesla. Jaguar is bad enough with its electronics so I don't see why anyone would buy this. This has 234 miles of range and 4.8s 0-60 for $75,000 is ridiculous. A fully loaded Model 3 Performance is $65,000 with 310 miles of range and 3.2s 0-60. The iPace makes no sense at all.

[@markgaudie80]

[@Overlord-gaming-]

Hey guys just wanted to let you know that we really appreciate your attention to quality on these reviews. The camera work and editing is top notch and really separates you guys from the rest of the pack. Absolutely love watching your reviews, your opinions are always unbiased and fair, you never leave me needing to know more about a car, and your videos are super visually pleasing. Keep up the awesome work you guys!!🤘

[@tofujiny]

I agree, you can get one now with about 20K of incentives. This car is a steal now.

[@raycrane270]

Jacob: At least it’s not a TIE Fighter Yuri: AHHHHHHHHHHHH

[@Megazone_FI]

I just wonder how nowadays infotainment seems to be the biggest feature in cars. I bought this Jag because of it's great to drive, comfortable and looks great. I've been driven it now 3 moths and never had any angst with "slow" infotainment. I-Pace is The Car, not a space invader and meant for drive like a JAG and not fiddle with touch screens. And CarPlay works fine.

[@vika0194]

These days because of smartphones people want their cars to be a smartphone on 4 wheels. Personally the only thing I use and want when driving my XJ is the navigation system and radio buttons on the wheels

[@danr154]

I will never have enough money for a Jag but in principle I agree. I dont like taking my eyes off the road and I like the feel of controlling the car. I dont even feel comfortable talking a lot while I drive. It sounds like this Jag is a lot of fun to drove. I'd love one if I could ever figure out how to make enough. For me this is better than a Tesla cause those have such a huge touchscreen its constantly distracting, the interior sucks, and the rear seats are uncomfortable.

[@ravingmad765]

Definitely the car I was most looking forward to a Straight Pipe review!

[@gsjourney3054]

I was ducking dying when I heard the acceleration it sounds like a T. rex screaming

[@ConLLee]

Off topic from this video, i really love you guys. I found your channel a good while ago and ive watched almost every review. By far my favorite car review channel and i think it definitely has something to do with it being two people and especially you two. Good stuff guys

[@robertzakari7694]

"Add more RAM, I don't care!" What a great line and so true (whether that would work or not).

[@moogle68]

When it comes to how quickly computers are able to do multiple things at once, or how quickly it can switch between them, there can be a few different sources of the lag depending on when it lags and what you were trying to do, but in this case it does seem like a lack of RAM, or just a slow CPU/processor.

[@cleverdood]

dudes, take mine! Model 3LR RWD! I drove the iPace at the autoshow and this iPace is a fantastic vehicle. Interior design/materials is substantially better than the X (IMO) and it is so comfortable to drive. The slow charging (and lack of fast charging infrastructure in general), bad usability of the interior, and limited range (for the price) is what I didn't like, but man, it was a riot to drive and quieter than my 3. EVs are inconvenient IF you can't charge at home, but waking up with a full tank of 'gas' everyday is pure joy.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Thanks for being reasonable!

[@mkkm945]

@@TheStraightPipes Take his car!!!!

[@sherizaahd]

I also have a 3 and I charge with all level 1 because stuff, but I haven't had a problem with getting the juice I need because I can charge at work, on level 1 20 amp circuit. So I could charge it full every day just by charging it all the time i'm not driving, say while asleep and working. I'm working on an L2 at home, and the CEO says he's going to get some more L2 chargers installed cause another guy bought a model 3 and he has a model X as well (his personal parking space has the wall charger so I use that when I can.)

[@mkkm945]

@@sherizaahd A big deal that nobody's talking about. Installing chargers anywhere is possible. At home, at work, at the mall, on the street (lamp posts). As these come on more and more, EV range will become less of an issue. Range is only needed for road trips where you need >100 kW charging at minimum.

[@nevco8774]

@@mkkm945 In the USA and Canada in the remote areas especially in the winter the range anxiety is going to live a while longer than people expect. However next generation of EVs hopefully will help overcome the range anxiety.

[@mrpmj00]

I've test driven both (Tesla Model 3 awd and Jaguar iPace) and I'd take the Jaguar iPace. Better (comfortable) ride, more luxury, quietness, Apple Carplay.

[@HeidiandFranny]

Right. I am glad you brought that up. Charging a car is not practical if you don’t have a garage. Very good point.

[@alexander1485]

[@1972juankarlos]

It looks absolutely beautiful

[@walterk8602]

If you like driving, the Jag. If you like the look of what you are driving, the Jag If you just want to get from A to B, the Ionic. If you want to be driven, a cab. If you just want to go A to B fast, a Tesla 3 (if you can put up with a laptop screwed to your dash), because it's cheaper and goes further than a Jag.

[@lukaposeidon8490]

Great vid! Looking forward to a C63s facelift review. I want to see how it compares to the c43. Hopefully you can get one!

[@lancpudn]

Excellent review guys I've been waiting for you guys to get your hands on the Jaguar iPace, love the spaceship sound but It would be great to have the Jetson's spaceship noise.

[@jonathan_careless]

@TheStraightPipes, another great video guys. I have a pre-order for one of the first new Porsche Taycans. As soon as I get it I'll let you guys test drive it and do a video.

[@billcichoke2534]

It's not even a look that has to grow on you. They are really sexy. Kinda what you'd expect from a Jaguar.

[@Briguy1027]

Interesting about the electric noise, glad you pointed that out. One day I was walking through a parking lot and "felt" a car near me. I looked and saw it and moved out of the way. I later checked and found out it was a Nissan Leaf. So I'm glad they are making sure there's some noise out of these cars, because they could be so quiet I'd never hear it before being run over.

[@prerunnerwannabe]

Awesome into. I LOVE edits that sync shots to music.

[@SilverScarletSpider]

Competition has always been a great driver of innovation, economy, and affordability for the everyman within the auto industry. Good on Jaguar for jumping head first into the competitive Luxury SUV market with a big splash. Let’s hope that other manufacturers have a good answer to it whether it be electric, hybrid, gasoline, or diesel.

[@ZesPak]

One note: I've been binge watching your videos for the past couple of days since I've discovered this channel. I love every single one of them so keep it up! But this title seems a little clickbaity, especially since one of the first things you need to admit is that you haven't driven a Tesla yet...

[@AbuDhabiDude]

Great review guys! Loved it. Not sure what was going on with your Apple CarPlay though. It works perfectly on mine and I really like it. I have the choice of Apple maps, google maps or waze. Maybe your onebhad very old software? It was added after launch with a software update. Also, mine updated over the air a couple of weeks ago and the new software (S19A) is much less laggy. It’s not perfect. The swipe within the “my EV” page is still slow, but it’s more because of the animation now than because of actual lag. Still not perfect, but a lot better.

[@DM-oo3fd]

I have Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (I use Apple) and mine works fine as well. No issues and I as well have the choice of the Jaguar maps or apple , google or Waze as well.

[@CarsAndBikesBklyn]

I just leased an E-Pace. Don't drive enough for the I. The Appleplay works and works great when I plug it into the port. It does not work via Bluetooth.

[@ashtonmark24]

Yeah looks like they have old Pro. My XE got Carplay/Auto update at last service so it's just a software update thing...

The Honda insight hybrid has one of the smoothest and sharpest eco data I've ever used. And it's $20k USD. The Jaguar ipace is one of the best looking EVs for sure.

[@NoName-nf5xl]

Justin M What does Honda have to do with Jaguars? I mean they’re pretty much completely different.

[@aneebaba06]

I also liked the looks upon first impression in person (LA Autoshow). One thing that turns me of 2 from Jaguar currently - is the infotainment system across their range. Compared to BMW or Mercedes, they have a lot of catching up to do. Steering wheel looks better though. I mention these two points to my cousin works for Jaguar LR up in Portland. I'm curious to see how this sells (or doesn't), especially here in California and back home in Oregon. Good review guys.

Haha. That PewDiePie reference. Loved it!

[@jeremygarvin1046]

I have driven both. The model x does have more cargo room and faster acceleration in the top trim, however it looks like a minivan, and handles horribly compared to the jag. Interior materials are much better in the jaguar as well as the looks in my opinion

[@OldThomMerton]

I watched this a while back . . . and this morning I watched the Aston Martin DBX video which made me want to re-watch this one. The DBX really does look like an Escort, which to me looks like a Macan . . . But this I-Pace is the most attractive SUV/CUVish rig PERIOD. Wonderful! Glorious!

[@davidsonnow]

OMG BEST EDIT @ 3:00!!

[@EdvardHolst]

Android Auto and Apple CarPlay was not ready at launch. It requires a software update (installed by the dealer as OTA was only just recently enabled which also requires a software update at the dealer) :)

[@_PatrickO]

Might as well leave it at the dealer while you are there.

[@justinsnyder2373]

It was ready at launch it just wasn’t installed on this vehicle. It also is why there is a lag. OTA doesn’t require a dealer update.

[@glennsmooth]

The outside spaceship sound is so good. In contrast the Chevy volt sounds like it has a bad fuel pump so it’s best to pull the fuse on that thing for silence.

[@HavKnottz]

Definitely looks better than a Tesla!

Tesla Model X is way better for luggage space and can seat up to 7 adults. But it’s not really the same class of car really. The Jag is quite a bit smaller. Range is disappointing for a 90kWh pack. Jag haven’t sold as many as they would of liked. I think it’s mainly down to price to be honest. I will tweet Elon for you guys. 👍

@@_PatrickO Not the same class of cars. I own an I Pace and my son owns a Model 3. Yes the model 3 is less but if you rode in both you would see why. Don't get me wrong. I like the Model 3.
