PODCAST: JAGUAR I-PACE, TESLA'S RESTRUCTURING, MUSK'S BORING TO CHICAGO, AND MORE

EV Channels Review

The Electrek Podcast hosts provide an in-depth first impression of the Jaguar I-PACE after a two-day test drive in Portugal. They praise its luxury interior, impressive off-road capability (even with 22-inch wheels), and overall driving dynamics, noting it feels more like a performance car than the Tesla Model X. However, they highlight its significant price point and limited production numbers, suggesting it may be difficult to obtain. A major concern raised is the lack of charging information provided at the event and the perceived inexperience of dealerships with EV day-to-day usage, particularly regarding charging times. The front trunk (frunk) is described as microscopic, largely due to the aerodynamic design channeling air over the car. Despite these drawbacks, the I-PACE is considered a strong contender, especially for existing Jaguar buyers looking to transition to electric.
