How high was the insane consumption? I'm guessing you mean insanely bad, right? Surprisingly low distance per kWh at high speeds?Ah no way, my old haunts, A7 Hamburg-Flensburg!
It's worth watching IMO, pretty entertaining.
Take-homes: great performance, insane consumption, super quiet cabin at high speeds, 'nimble' in the parking lot
Looks like around 640Wh/km, aka 1030Wh/mile, at 200km/hHow high was the insane consumption? I'm guessing you mean insanely bad, right? Surprisingly low distance per kWh at high speeds?
I also noticed when comparing Bjorn's I-Pace run to the earlier Model X run, he accelerated the I-Pace using wide open throttle each time, where in the Model X he was much more gentle, he also slowed the I-Pace several times using heavy regen followed by full throttle accelerations (Obviously trying to overheat the I-Pace which he failed to do) each of those regen - accelerations wasted a large percentage of the energy (reflected in the overall consumption trip)... Just speculation on my part, but the I-Pace is probably more efficient at a steady 200km/h then Bjorn's, Model X, and it is a quieter, more comfortable, and better handling to boot.Looks like around 640Wh/km, aka 1030Wh/mile, at 200km/h
Looking at the same guy's Model X bahn-storm, X is about 980Wh/mile.
Speed and consumption in both videos is variable due to traffic, so it's not a scientific comparison
And of course, the X's speed is constrained by over-heating by the end of its video.
Yes, consumption is high, but we are a family with 2 full size SUV's and a diesel pickup (for work) so not really looking for an economy car.Not exactly an economy car... depending on driving style and conditions.
Tesla S seems to be EPA rated under 400 Wh/mi.
Neither Tesla nor Jaguar have any immediate plans for an economy car.Not exactly an economy car... depending on driving style and conditions.

Wow, you are back.... Welcome...Neither Tesla nor Jaguar have any immediate plans for an economy car.
No EV/hybrid pays for itself in fuel savings when compared to current ICE offerings in the US. $13k MSRP cars get 39 mpg hwy EPA but discounts are available.
You buy an EV because it's a superior driving and ownership experience today.
Trivia - Did a round trip in an EV Friday. 63.5 map miles, 13.1 kWh consumed, roundtrip, 2,520 feet elevation change, 9 miles surface streets, the rest freeways. Cost of car? $28,200 total new. Will it ever pay for itself? Unlikely.
