I you go on to www.autocar.co.uk you will see details of the new all electric I Pace, on sale in 2018. Looks interesting.

Not bad at all.
If I was in the marked for an all electric car, the I Pace would be a very strong contender.
Maybe - but hopefully I will stay away from electric cars for some more years to come....

This is beginning to look really interesting and surprising that JLR are sharing so much information at this point. Assuming they can replicate or even surpass Tesla performance with a similar sized battery pack the big question will be how they enable charging capacity. Tesla have a real headstart here with their network of free superchargers. If they can compete on charging technology as well as the actual car design I would buy one over a Tesla...

Tesla's superchargers will cease to be free for all new Tesla owners from the end of 2017 I read recently. A new Tesla will come with an amount of Supercharger "credits" which would cover occasional use.

This screws over all those with Model 3 deposits hoping for miles of free national travel.

a price point of 10-15% above an F-Pace is a bit of an issue if I were a prospective buyer - I'd have to do long and difficult calculations to work out if that was cost effective. But if it had "performance on a par with a rear-wheel-drive Jaguar F-Type R" that sounds intriguing.

I hope that the power stations are getting ready for the number of electric cars that are coming online in the next few years.

A rival to the model x it says. Does that mean it will be offered with ludicrously fast mode and a 0-60 time of 2.9 secs... check this out... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7_jUmqnDAIc

Thinking about changing our sensible car next year, was going for another TT but Tesla are in town on Saturday so we have arranged a test drive. Will let you know how we get on.

I've driven a Tesla P90D and it's phenomenal.

Everything about it was awesome (even the handling from a GT point of view) but it's so expensive.

Really liking the I-Pace concept.
