I've been thinking about a Model X for a while now, but the ipace has me wanting to test drive it.


I know that Tesla will be running out of the 7500 tax credit (goes to 3500 i think). But I assume Jag has plenty of the 7500 left?


I'd like to buy end of year so I can get the credit back asap...

That all has to do the Feds, and any state or utility programs.
The i-Pace is the first plug-in Jaguar in the USA. AFAIK, the world. So they have 200,000 credits.

From what I have read Tesla have been prioritising deliveries to Canada recently, so perhaps that means that the 200,000th shipment in USA will be in July. I think that that means that the taper doesn't start until the end of the quarter FOLLOWING that quarter? If that's right then that would mean a December 2018 vehicle was entitled, if that's wrong then it would need to be September 2018 latest

Yes, Canada has been flooded with Tesla 3 deliveries in June.

I'm not sure I can justify the $20k or so a X75D is over an iPace... and when you throw in the 7500 it's even more of a gap.


I sold my 2013 Model S a few weeks ago, thinking I'd get a Model X at some point, but the ipace makes a strong argument...

More like a 10k difference with similar options, though many options aren't available on the Tesla. Do you own a home business? That makes the X pricing a lot better. It can also make the 7500 credit useless.

 

[SabrToothSqrl]

An X75D the way I want is $95,250
The iPace the way I want is $80,270k

$14,980 difference. + 6% registration, so there is another $890. (PA)
$16,870 difference out the door. You'll forgive me rounding


Then you have to calculate tax credits.

Jag = $7500
Tesla = possible $7500 or $3500....


I cannot leverage the X hummer loophole.

Which makes the iPace a very interesting car to me...

So for CA residents, these are incentives for Jaguar i-Pace:

Federal: $7,500 (if buying federal tax deduction, if leasing reducing the capital cost)
State: $2,500 (depends on gross income eligibility: $150,000 for single filers, $204,000 for head-of-household filers, $300,000 for joint filers)
SCE Customers: $450
Other utility companies: ???

Do people making under 300k buy 90k automobiles???

Plenty of people "stretched" to buy a Tesla, that forum is littered with "This is 3x what I normally pay for a car" so, yeah, I reckon some will. You can buy a used Range Rover and chuck some vanity plates on it so that noone knows how old it is [in UK the plates the car comes with indicate "year", but people buy plates with low numbers, or that "sort of spell something", and you can pay a modest "transfer fee" to put the plate on another car - not quite the same as free-text plates in USA though). But for someone wanting to look flash they way want the latest model, and no second hand i-Pace available of course .. so I reckon "yeah"

Big saving on Electricity vs Fossil Fuel (not so much in USA). At 27K miles p.a. Electricity is between $4000-$5000 cheaper a year for me. Also I can charge at work (and not be taxed on that "benefit"). Maybe that $400 per month gets me the finance difference for a $90K car?

It depends on where you are in life. If your house is paid for, the kids college is funded as is your retirement, then $100k car for $100k household income with an 7.5 year use period and 25% resale, isn't that brutal. That's about $1000 a month to have a nice car.

If you paying a large mortgage, have other large bills, are trying to fund college/kids, and putting some away for retirement? Even at $300k family income, you might not be planning very well. Jobs are not guaranteed.

Chicks dig guys with $90,000 cars...

What about this 20% tariff that your president want to stick on to European cars? The i-Pace being a British car built in Austria, it will hit it head on. Maybe more cars coming to Canada after all! :smile2:

Well, that Chevrolet Bolt is a nice little electric car. And I could get two of them for the price of an I-Pace. Two and a half, with a big tariff...

Come on, I just got my buddy to switch to EV over the weekend, bought a Leaf, and I told him it is a chick magnet... haha!

As a side note the 2018 Leaf with ProPilot is a great value offering.

No. Chicks dig guys with convertibles that have large back seats. ****, even a Toyota Solara convertible will catch women's attention.

Europe typically has a 10% tariff and a 20% VAT or higher.

US has a 2.5% tariff and no VAT.

So even with a 20% tariff, there will still be a bigger price difference.

Price a Corvette in France vs. USA for a real eye opener. $96,000 in France, and $55,500 in the USA for the same version. That's not 30%.
