I thought I'd miss cooled seats but my black seats really weren't a problem last summer in GAI currently drive an I-Pace. I have a GT on order. While I have never driven a GT, I can tell you what I’m looking forward to vs. the Jaguar. The GT should have a little more range, faster charging, wireless Apple CarPlay, Blue Cruise, and it will be a faster car as well, at least 0-60. I also think the GT is way better looking. The Jaguar has a nicer and more luxurious interior in my opinion but I’m ok with giving that up. I’m going to miss the cooled seats though. Also the infotainment in the Jag is pretty terrible in my opinion and I think it will be much better in the Mustang.
Yeah a lot of people on the I pace forums post about battery and software issues with the early models. From what I can gather early 12V battery issues and infotainment glitches were fixed with software updates. Seems like some people got great ones and others had bad luck. A lot of lemon complaints earlyAlso worth considering: the differences in range and potential build issues.
I dont know how to handicap the build quality but it felt like there were a lot of meaningful issues that put people's IPaces in the shop for extended periods. And while the Jaguar dealer experience is premium, the scale of their presence here in the US makes me wonder how quickly issues can be resolved.
