Porsche is fast indeed, but let's do repeated runs of Model S/X vs Jaguar then see the numbers. Say for one hour straight. Then we can do a fair comparison. Keep in mind Model S/X really can't keep running on tracks at full power for long, but the I Pace has not "thermal" fade from being pushed beyond limits for continued operation in the 0 to 60 time. It is sustainable performance.

Even the Porsche has a temporary "boost" mode they admit is used for faster numbers. But even without that I believe it can do 0 to 60 in mid to low 3 seconds.

 

Ipace feels much faster than 4sec. It's good Jaguar under promised over delivered on the 0-60

 

Say for one hour straight. Then we can do a fair comparison.

If you want to be fair then you would have to restrict your comparison to 2019 Teslas since the i-Pace has only been available as a 2019 model. The Model 3 and the "Raven" S don't suffer the same sort of thermal shutdown. The "Teslas can't lap" story is old news...

 

Actually not really, the Model 3 does better but does thermally limit and Raven Model S, can you please point to a non Tesla demo sustained performance that shows this? I don't believe any Tesla outside of "specially modified" or coded ones given for testing from Tesla have ever shown sustained performance that is designed into the Porsche or the Jaguar.

Getting ready to turn in my 2019 soon, due to the buyback. I ordered a new Mach e Rally and the garage is full, 3 cars & a trailer. This got me to thinking, I have never actually tested my I-Pace acceleration. So, I dug out my ancient GTech. I found that the big connector on the GTech, did not match anything on my computer, so I decided to just take a picture of results on the screen. This was not planned well! The Jag's charge was 129 miles range ~55% charged, volts 397 and the AC was running. Just me in the car. My Jag runs 22" soft compound Pirellis. I got a 4.31sec 0-60 time. This is about what I expected with a battery that was not at 100% and on a car with 58,000 miles on it. I have noticed the Mach e does not hit you in the back, the way the Jag does at the start. A test of the Mach e is imminent! The reason all the zeros are in the finish times, is I quit at 66mph (less than 1/8th mile & 1000'). * Update: Ran the Mach-e with the GTech. Charged to 100%-2 miles. AC off. With all-season tires spinning, it got a 0-60mph time of 3.456 seconds. I does not hit you in the back, the way the Jag does despite this time!?

 

A blast from the past!

 

Something new. I have been recording the Mach-e battery voltages and miles to empty and % using my ScanGauge. I did the same thing with the Jag earlier when it was able to do a 100% charge. The Jag's peak voltage is 448(446 my car) volts fully charged(before H484). The Mach-e 's fully charged voltage is 389 volts!! This is probably why Ford had these timers to cut back the throttle after ~ >5 seconds. This should mean that the Mach-e would have to have a higher amperage to get the same power as the Jag. It also make me curious what other electric cars are running. The Jag did 2 laps of a race track in 2019 without slowing vs. a Tesla Model Y performance which had to quit after 1 lap!?

 

The first version of the Mach-E used a BorgWarner motor that could not handle the heat generated by long acceleration runs. The upgraded version no longer has that limitation. More importantly, it now comes with ventilated seats. Still not a replacement for our I-Pace 😭
